Book Overview

"A breathtakingly beautiful world...reminding us that we are part of the universe." --Kaori Nagai

"A modern classic." --NPR

Lonely and awkward, Giovanni struggles with his sick mother, absent father, and an afterschool job that isolates him from his peers. But on the night of the Star Festival, he is magically transported onto a celestial train with his best friend, Campanella. Together, they embark on an extraordinary journey through the galaxy, encountering mysterious characters and grappling with life's deepest questions. When Giovanni returns to earth, he faces the heartbreaking truth about their voyage.

Kenji Miyazawa, one of Japan's most revered authors, is celebrated for his poetic vision and ability to weave profound reflections on human nature into fantastical settings. A Night on the Galactic Railway is a powerful exploration of friendship, loss, and the mysteries of existence, cementing its place as a timeless masterpiece. This edition, filled with stunning imagery and evocative themes, offers readers a glimpse into Miyazawa's genius. Reads right-to-left in the Japanese style.
