Seit Jahrzehnten bringt die Hankyu-Bahn, ein weinroter Regionalzug zwischen Kyoto und Osaka, ihre Passagiere sicher ans Ziel. Während sich die Jahreszeiten vor dem Fenster ändern, kommen die Menschen einander näher: von dem jungen Mann, der sich in eine Mitreisende verliebt, über die Frau, die den Mut fasst, sich aus ihrer Beziehung zu lösen, bis hin zur Witwe, die ein neues Leben beginnt. In diesem sanft durch die Landschaft fahrenden Zug begibt sich jeder von ihnen auf eine Reise, um der Mensch zu werden, der er wirklich sein möchte.

Welcome aboard the Hankyu Line train! Come along on a heartwarming, funny, and perfectly cozy voyage with the charming and relatable passengers—including one dashing dachshund—whose lives intersect and affect each other on one of Japan’s most romantic railway lines from international...

Nesta multifacetada coletânea de contos, os leitores serão transportados para o Japão moderno e o tradicional, um mundo onde as relações, como as entre gatos e seus donos, são construídas com afeto, cumplicidade e compreensão. Da autora do best-seller internacional Relatos de um gato viajante. Hachi e Nana, dois gatos com caudas tortas, compartilham mais do que a característica física: ambos foram abandonados por pessoas cruéis que se livram dos filhotes como se fossem objetos descartáveis.

In the much-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling and beloved The Travelling Cat Chronicles, seven cats weave their way through their owners’ lives, climbing, comforting, nestling, and sometimes just tripping everyone up in this uplifting collection of tales by international bestselling...

Against changing seasons in Japan, seven cats weave their way through their owners' lives. We meet Spin, a kitten rescued from the recycling bin, whose simple needs teach an anxious father how to parent his own human baby; a colony of wild cats on a holiday island shows a young boy not to stand in nature's way; a family is perplexed by their cat's devotion to their charismatic but uncaring father; a woman curses how her cat constantly visits her at night; and an elderly cat, Kota, hatches a plan to pass into the next world as a spirit so that he and his owner may be together for ever.

Famously scenic, the Hankyu commuter train trundles daily through changing landscape unaware of the heartaches of the passengers it carries. On the outward journey we are introduced to the emotional dilemmas of five characters as we puzzle out how they will unravel; on the return journey six months later, we watch them resolve. As the season and the landscapes change, passengers jostle and connect, holding and releasing their dreams and desires, as this famous little train carries them ever forward towards the person each intends to become.
