About the book

¿Cómo vives? / How Do You Live?

El libro que ha inspirado una adaptación de la película The Boy and the Heron.

El libro favorito de la infancia del maestro del anime Hayao Miyazaki, en su primera traducción al español.

¿Cómo vives? de Genzaburo Yoshino fue publicado por primera vez en Japón en 1937 y ha sido reconocido, durante mucho tiempo, como un crossover clásico para jóvenes lectores. El animador Hayao Miyazaki, ganador de varios Premios de la Academia por El viaje de Chihiro, Mi vecino Totoro y El castillo ambulante de Howl ha calificado el libro como el favorito de su infancia, y anunció sus planes de volver a hacer cine solo para adaptarlo.

¿Cómo vives? está narrado a dos voces: La de Copper, un adolescente de quince años que, tras la muerte de su padre, debe enfrentarse a un inevitable y trascendente cambio, además de a la traición a su mejor amigo; y la voz de su tío, que emerge entre los distintos momentos de la historia, a partir de la escritura de un diario, donde ha compartido conocimientos y donde ofrece consejos sobre las mismas grandes peguntas de la vida que Copper enfrenta. A lo largo de la historia, Copper –tal como hizo antes Copérnico, de quien heredó el nombre —mira a las estrellas y pone sus descubrimientos sobre el cielo, la tierra y la naturaleza humana en función de responder a la gran pregunta que se repite: ¿cómo vivirá su vida?

Esta primera traducción al español de un clásico japonés aborda las formas de encontrar nuestro lugar en un mundo infinitamente grande y pequeño a la vez. Es perfecta para lectores de ficción filosófica, como El Alquimista y El Principito, así como para fanáticos de Miyazaki, deseosos de entender una de sus influencias más importantes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book that inspired the adapted film: The Boy and the Heron.

Anime master Hayao Miyazaki’s favorite childhood book, in English for the first time.

First published in 1937, Genzaburō Yoshino’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 Spanish-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.
