Is not life amazing?
For others, simple and without bends, you can say so sloppy.
Without any lofty experiences, incredible deep feelings and emotions, without any mental shocks.
Like a desert.
Empty and dry.
But not our hero.
His experiences are so deep and moving, it can not just end up in the middle of the book and walk away.
I heard one of the portals that Haruki Murakami, the Japanese writer writes a book of life so I reached for the first better book, and I could not stop reading.
Of course,there were some scenes of "Fifty Shades of Grey", but reading it struck me as otherwise described, from another perspective, more emotionally.
Or is it because it is a book about the feelings of a man, not a woman's sexual desire and full of eroticism.(No offence to women).
He immediately drew me described a life Hajime, rather resume that tells himself.
You could say, that's just an ordinary boy next door who had a nice childhood, he went to a normal school, had friends and one special friend who liked to spend a lot of time.
"(...)As it happens at eleven or twelve years who know a child of the opposite sex for the first few days of our conversation proceeded unnaturally.But when it turned out that we were only children, they both felt looser.Each of us for the first time in life met another only child.(...)Most of the time we returned home together.Slowly, because of her legs, we defeated more than a kilometre, expounding on the most diverse matters."
Unfortunately, the choice of another school made it parted with the previous life and the childhood friend and gave himself caught up in the political turmoil tormenting his country.
Then there was the other love and, unfortunately, for his girlfriend, a desire to quickly know the "forbidden fruit" which is sex.
And what's next?
What happens when such an exciting time, which is youthful, crazy age.
Man falls into a rut.
"(...)When I finished college, a friend got me a job in publishing educational. The haircut is cleaned shoes and I bought a suit. (...)My work turned out to be terribly boring.The same publishing house was not the worst, but the editing of school textbooks or some did not improve my mood. (...)"
Boring job, boring life, no purpose and prospects ... not until he meets his beautiful wife and had no father in law, who helps him to open his own business continues to lead monotonous lives.
Opens a bar, which turns out to be his dream, and shortly after that came the second bar.
There are children, it has a large apartment and a cottage in the mountains, good car.
In a word, leads a good life, we could say that a good set.
And it may seem that this is from "outside", but his thoughts wander around a young woman he once followed and strange gentleman, who handed him an envelope with money.
To make matters worse, in one of its bars appear unexpectedly childhood friend ... and his feelings return.
After so many years of thinking about her and finally come to terms that it can not meet her again here in front of him is SHE.
Now he wants to be only with her spend time as if in a primary school in conversation,listening to music and...drop everything for her.
So many sleepless nights, so many thoughts and feelings that torment him and not allow him to think rationally, and finally makes the final decision and ...
Sometimes life itself brings us solutions.
I invite you to read!!!
