Aprašymas

This charming novel is regarded as the best work of Joji Tsubosa, Japan's finest writer on childhood. Set in a small town in the Japanese countryside in the Olympic summer of 1936, the story is seen through the eyes of two young brothers, Sampei and Zenta, whose father, a factory manager, is wrongfully jailed on suspicion of forgery. Old enough to realize that their family is threatened but unable to fully comprehend the issues that have led to their predicament, the brothers retreat into their own world of play and fantasy as events unfold around them.. Preoccupied with their troubles, the adults cannot understand what is happening in the boys' world any more than the boys can understand what is happening in the adult world – an impasse that is evoked with great sensitivity. Tsubota's masterful descriptions of the boys' ability to slip easily between the realms of reality and the imagination will reawaken elusive memories of childhood in all readers.
