Chronicles of the Wandering Cat

"Chronicles of the Wandering Cat" is a bestseller by Hiro Arikawa that has captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world. It is an amazing, touching story of friendship between a cat with the "happy" name Nana, which... means "seven" in Japanese, and his owner Satoru. At the same time, it is a travel novel, in which the characters move both in space and time: Nana discovers the boundless ocean expanses and the beauty of Mount Fuji, while Satoru seems to relive the events of his childhood and youth. At first glance, the cat Nana, who acts as the narrator, is a realist and a pragmatist to the core, with his purely feline philosophy of life. However, he manages to penetrate so deeply into his owner's inner world that sometimes he understands Satoru better than Satoru himself. What are they to each other? Why does Satoru set out on a journey time and again, taking his beloved cat with him?..
