Rezension von CarinaThis was very enjoyable!
Rezension von Sajede Eltefatiیافتن امید در امور روزمره. همه حرفِ این کتاب همین عبارت است. پنج انسان در دورههای مختلف زندگی که با مشکلات و معضلات شخصی شبیه تغییر شغل، بچهدار شدن و... درگیر هستند، به کتابخانه عمومی و کتابدار بانمکی میرسند و او با پرسیدن یک سوال، به آنها کتابی پیشنهاد میدهد: "دنبال چی میگردی؟ " هر شخصیت در حین خواندن آن کتاب پیشنهاد شده، افکاری را از میگذراند و زندگیاش دچار تغییراتی میشود و در نهایتِ داستان به سکون میرسد و معضل خود را حل میکند. یک الگوی تکرارشونده که از داستان دوم به بعد برای من خستهکننده بود. تنها المان متغیر در داستانها، معضلات و مشکلات انسانها بود که آن هم به نظرم چیزهایی نبود که نیاز به خواندن کتاب داشتهباشد، با کمی تعقل میتوانستند به نتیجه برسند. اما خب ادبیات آسیای شرقی مدرن، این ساده انگاریها را دارد و اتفاقا به همین دلیل هم این کتاب را برداشتم، دلم یک کتاب درباره کتابها میخواست که ساده و روان باشد و دقیقا انتخاب درستی کردم. تجربه خواندن کتاب، مشابه خواندن کتابخانه نیمهشب بود البته با معجزهی جادویی ادبیات ژاپن، این یک سر و گردن از آن کتاب مشهور بالاتر قرار میگیرد. اگر آن کتاب را دوست داشتید، این کتاب هم برایتان جالب خواهد بود. ترجمه کتاب ایرادات عجیبی داشت اما قابل انتظار بود. و در آخر لازم به ذکر است که کتاب را به پیشنهاد ع. گرفتیم، چون توش نقاشی داشت:) #درباره
Rezension von zara wright⭐️5! Such an amazing book. It was beautifully written and had a beautiful storyline. I loved how all the character’s lives were intertwined with each other and how Komachi was viewed differently by them all as we all have different perspectives on life. If anyone wants a wholesome, get-you-out-of-your-reading-slump, easy read, this is the one.
Rezension von Susannloved the coziness, the quotes, the characters.. but still it was a slow read, nothing particularly happened.
