The original animated novel by Hayao Miyazaki is a pure love song that has touched countless readers.
At the end of time and life, they are looking for the joy of life and the purity of love together. The time spent together is even more precious because it is fleeting.
This is the masterpiece of Tatsuo Hori, the master of Japanese neopsychology. His fiancée Setsuko is seriously ill, and the hero accompanies her to recuperate in the mountains. During the illness, they searched for the happiness of life together, but they had to face death. After Setsuko died, "I" lived a lonely life alone. Finally, by reading Rilke's Requiem, "I" finally found the sustenance of my soul, discovered the light of life, and decided to start over and live strong.
Reader comments
This book reminded me of the days when I spent time with my loved ones through difficult times. That feeling of mutual support is really precious. The love between Setsuko and the protagonist is touching, and their strength in the face of death also gave me a lot of courage. Just like what is said in the book, "When the wind blows, we have to work hard to survive." We must face the difficulties in life bravely and cherish the people around us. This is a very healing book, recommended to everyone.
I don't quite understand. Can someone explain it to me?
