A review by nereidodelette
銀河鐵道之夜, by Kenji Miyazawa

4.0

Taiwanese publishers usually give this beautiful book a comment: "it's a fairytale that could warm and cure your heart at night"; however, I think that comment is not precise enough.
True, it's a collection of short fairytales, while almost each of the story contains a light melancholy, they tell stories of bitter-sweets or changes in mind because of the misfortune in the life. Some of them even make me poignant.
