Über diesen Titel

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa, read by George Blagden.

The tender feelgood story of a man's journey around Japan with a streetcat. Translated by Philip Gabriel, a translator of Murakami.

It's not the journey that counts, but who's at your side.

Nana is on a road trip, but he is not sure where he is going. All that matters is that he can sit beside his beloved owner Satoru in the front seat of his silver van. Satoru is keen to visit three old friends from his youth, though Nana doesn’t know why and Satoru won’t say.

Set against the backdrop of Japan’s changing seasons and narrated with a rare gentleness and humour, Nana’s story explores the wonder and thrill of life’s unexpected detours. It is about the value of friendship and solitude, and knowing when to give and when to take. TRAVELLING CAT has already demonstrated its power to move thousands with a message of kindness and truth. It shows, above all, how acts of love, both great and small, can transform our lives.

Kritikerstimmen

Anyone who has ever unashamedly loved an animal will read this book with gratitude, for its understanding of an emotion that ennobles us as human beings, whether we value it or not
Fleet, funny and tender... Arikawa clearly knows cats as well as any human can.
It has the warmth, painterly touch, and tenderness of a Studio Ghibli film - and it is a delight to read
Bewitching… as self-possessed and comforting as – well, a cat
The Travelling Cat Chronicles is delightful. Like a tender feline companion the uniqueness of this book is its subtle yet persistent charm that insinuates itself into your heart long after the encounter has ended.
A book about kindness and love, and about how the smallest things can provide happiness
Arikawa has a lightness of touch that elevates this to a tale about loyalty and friendship ... while speaking to our basic human need for companionship
Heart-wrenching but uplifting
The Travelling Cat Chronicles is why I read books. This beautiful story has everything. It's funny, heart-warming, heart-breaking and kind.
Prepare to have your heart strings tugged by this quirky tale . . . It's a deceptively gentle story that you won't need to be a cat lover to fall for.

In einer bewegenden Art und Weise wird eine besondere Geschichte einer Straßenkatze und ihres adoptiertem Menschenfreundes erzählt.

Nicht nur für Katzenliebhaber geeignet, sondern für alle, die eine wunderschöne Geschichte erleben wollen. Ich habe gelacht und geweint in diesem Hörbuch und fühle mich zutiefst mit den Charakteren verbunden!

that a short story like this could hit so much in the feels. The reader really has made a real good job delivering the feelings with his voice!
Absolute recommended for cat lovers!

I didn't think...

Sure, this audiobook is quite short. I hesitated at first, didn't want to spend my monthly credit on a 6 hour long story. With that being said, if I could turn back in time, I would, If it were to be possible, spend up to three tokens for this book. Quality over quantity right here, and what quality it is.
Two things influenced my decision in buying it. Firstly it was the exceptional voice of the reader, and secondly, as a cat lover, I was intrigued by "my perceived" premise of the book, which I thought was about the everyday life of a cat named Nana and his owner Satoru, told from the cats perspective. But it is so much more than just that. The cat is a means to move the story forward, and in it, we meet a lot of characters, whom have their own stories to tell, all so different from each other, and yet a part of the overall moving plot. From beginning to end, you are on an emotional ride, and what a ride it is.

Not Just For Cat Lovers

Simply beautiful

I'd give six stars if that was possible. I was hesitant to say the least before starting it, but thought to give it a try. I am so glad I did. I might just read it again very soon.

Yes, it is about a cat's perspective (not exclusively though), but it is so much more. It is about life and death, friendship, trust, confidence. It is one of the most beautiful books, and it did make me cry. And it made me smile.

George Blagden is by far the best reader I've ever listened to on Audible. he might have just added to the joy of the book.

What beautiful book
