Rainy Summer: a Trip to the Border of Greece and Türkiye
About This Novel
This book records what Haruki Murakami saw, heard and thought during his travels in Greece and Turkey. The author presents the cultural landscapes of Greece and Türkiye from a unique perspective. If what you feel in a Greek village is religion, then what you feel in Türkiye is more politics. Religion is related to the spiritual origin of people, and politics is the external force that drives people. Murakami's experience and thinking about the two during this trip were integrated into his later masterpiece "The Journey of Strange Birds". It can be said that travel not only produced travel notes, but also indirectly gave birth to his novels. It's just that the Murakami in the novel is the shadowy Murakami "inside the door", and the Murakami during the journey is the real Murakami "outside the door".

This book is not bad, very good.
A travelogue that is easy and bright to read. As Athos in Greece does not allow females to take a single step, I probably won't have the chance to visit it in this life. However, seeing how difficult Murakami's journey was, I would just read it in a book. 😑 The whole story of Türkiye is filled with all kinds of loving comments, which makes people laugh.
A very good book, worth reading
