Description
[Machine Translation] An apple tree that is always there. A boy grows up and changes. Still, the tree continued to give love generously... The world famous picture book is newly translated by Haruki Murakami. ( You may resemble this tree. You may resemble this boy. Or perhaps you are like both. You may be both the tree and the boy. What you feel in this story is, of course, your choice. You don't even have to dare to put it into words. That is what stories are for. A story is like a mirror of nature that reflects the human heart. ) ( From Haruki Murakami/Translator's Afterword )

Description in Japanese
おおきな木 / 原タイトル:The Giving Tree / シェル・シルヴァスタイン/作 村上春樹/訳
いつでもそこにあるりんごの木。成長し変わっていく少年。それでも木は惜しみなく愛を与え続けた…世界的名作絵本が村上春樹の訳で新登場。「あなたはこの木に似ているかもしれません。あなたはこの少年に似ているかもしれません。それともひょっとして、両方に似ているかもしれません。あなたは木であり、また少年であるかもしれません。あなたがこの物語の中に何を感じるかは、もちろんあなたの自由です。それをあえて言葉にする必要もありません。そのために物語というものがあるのです。物語は人の心を映す自然の鏡のようなものなのです。」 (村上春樹/訳者あとがきより)
