ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Kafka on the Shore” by Haruki Murakami is a surreal, multilayered novel that follows two distinct yet intertwined stories. Kafka Tamura, a 15-year-old runaway, embarks on a journey to escape his troubled past and a disturbing prophecy made by his father. Meanwhile, Nakata, an elderly man with a mysterious past, sets out on his own quest. The novel explores themes of fate, identity, and self-discovery, blending reality with the metaphysical. Through strange encounters, magical realism, and deep emotional struggles, the book delves into the complexities of memory, loss, and personal transformation.
