The Cat Who Saved Books by Sōsuke Natsukawa
4.0
Japanese literature is something I either like or feel is strange, maybe because of the translation or because of the themes. Either way, this time The Cat Who Saved Books is a hit. It is an enchanting tale of a whimsical journey of a bookshop owner and a tabby cat, as they embark on a quest to free imprisoned books. This book resonates with me because of the love for stories that celebrate the power of literature. The Cat Who Saved Books deals with themes of grief, love of books, and self-discovery. While reading the journeys of Rintaro & the tabby cat through the four labyrinths it reminded me the journey of Theseus in the Minoan labyrinth, but instead of killing the Minotaur, Rintaro found a way to make his enemies to become again book lovers.
Sōsuke Natsukawa's story is heartwarming provocative tale that bookworms like me who cherish the magic of books, are drown to stories that explore the power of courage, compassion, and the human connection. The narrative of the story inspired and made me reflect on the importance of literature in my own life.
