The novel "Kafka on the Shore" sparked a torrent of comments and dialogues, and it was remarkable the exotic, "metaphysical" and philosophical atmosphere that prevails in this novel that introduces music, literature, philosophy, and One Thousand and One Nights as a margin that builds the ideas of the text. An old man who is good at talking to cats, fish falling from the sky, soldiers who have lived in a forest since World War II, a magic stone that may lead to the destruction or salvation of the world... A strange atmosphere is full of the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami's masterpiece "Kafka on the Shore". Which, as strange as it is simple, celebrates the magic of life and defends it, through two intersecting parallel stories, the tale of an old man searching for half of his lost shadow. And a fifteen-year-old boy running away from his father's black curse. And between them are worlds, cities, personalities, and semi-epic journeys that summarize all of them around the search for love, the meaning of death, and the value of memories. A novel that not only pushes each of us to contemplate life, but also provokes him to change it or to change himself in it and start the journey of searching for his lost compass.
