HOW DO YOU LIVE? - GENZABURO YOSHINO GEBUNDEN

Anime master Hayao Miyazaki's favorite childhood book  in English for the first time. First
published in 1937  Yoshino Genzaburo's How Do You Live? has long been acknowledged in Japan as
a crossover classic for young readers. Academy Award-winning animator Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited
Away  My Neighbor Totoro  Howl's Moving Castle) has called it his favorite childhood book and
announced plans to emerge from retirement to make it the basis of a final film. How Do You
Live? is narrated in two voices. The first belongs to Copper  fifteen  who after the death of
his father must confront inevitable and enormous change  including his own betrayal of his best
friend. In between episodes of Copper's emerging story  his uncle writes to him in a journal 
sharing knowledge and offering advice on life's big questions as Copper begins to encounter
them. Over the course of the story  Copper  like his namesake Copernicus  looks to the stars 
and uses his discoveries about the heavens  earth  and human nature to answer the question of
how he will live. This first-ever English-language translation of a Japanese classic about
finding one's place in a world both infinitely large and unimaginably small is perfect for
readers of philosophical fiction like The Alchemist and The Little Prince  as well as Miyazaki
fans eager to understand one of his most important influences.
