'The Chronicles of a Traveling Cat' by Hiro Arikawa has captured the hearts of millions of readers worldwide.
This is a touching story of friendship between a cat with the 'lucky' name Nana, which means 'seven' in Japanese, and his owner, Satoru. At the same time, this is a travel novel in which the characters move both in space and time: Nana discovers the boundless sea and the beauty of Mount Fuji, and Satoru seems to relive the events of his childhood and youth.
At first glance, Nana, the cat who acts as the narrator, is a realist and pragmatist to the core, with his own, purely feline, philosophy of life. However, he manages to penetrate so deeply into the inner world of his owner that sometimes he understands him better than he does. Who are they to each other? Why does Satoru set out on journeys again and again, taking his beloved cat with him?..
