About this deal

This collection includes the title story as the main one, plus 3 other shorter works, all in style of folktales. Gauche, el violoncelista" es un músico reprendido por su director de orquesta, quien le culpa de estropear la armonía de los instrumentos. El tren nocturno de la Vía Láctea" muestra un escenario mágico, casi a petición de un niño, donde los personajes que entran y salen del tren interactúan con el protagonista, pero dejando muy poco que enseñar (a diferencia de El Principito, con la que se le ha comparado pero no puedo ponerlas a la misma altura por la falta de profundidad). While Kenji’s proselytizing voice had softened between the early 1920s and his death in 1933, his faith remained as strong as ever. As readers delve into this delightful chronicle, reminiscent of Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), they will find themselves captivated by its gentle lessons on goodness and kindness.

In the ADV game Needy Girl Overdose ( Needy Streamer Overload), one of the endings is a direct reference to the novel.

To sum up, if you're looking for Baby Hegel's intellectual story time, this might be the ticket for you.

Buổi tối lễ hội Ngân Hà, cậu bỗng thấy mình ở trên một chuyến tàu đêm giữa các vì sao cùng người bạn Campanella. For example, in “The Milky Way Festival,” Sigrist and Stroud translate “ Sagittarius, send down the rain” (36)!

Bản thân truyện cũng ngả nhiều về triết, khiến nội dung có phần nặng nề và khó hiểu với độc giả thông thường.Jodo Buddhists worship the celestial Buddha Amida and pray to be reborn in the paradise of his Pure Land. Although there were some hits and miss's for the stories in the book, I mostly loved it and I definitely liked the slow and almost-melancholic vibe that I had whilst reading this.

However, the death at the end of this story proves that a lot of Miyazawa’s fables may not be meant for children. Creating a world of fantasy comparable with Narnia in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (1950) by C. Few works have given me so much pleasure (and hard work) as the tales of Miyazawa Kenji […] more genuine originality, and a more universal appeal, than almost anything else I have done.

Note that 想稿 could be a play on the word sōkō ( 草稿, "rough draft") and the character 想 ( sō) carrying meanings such as "conception" or "idea". In episode 5 of the anime adaptation of Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san ( Teasing Master Takagi-san), Takagi is seen reading a copy of the book in the library before helping Nishikata study for a test.
