From acclaimed Japanese author Sanaka Hiigari comes a heartwarming, life-affirming novel about a magical photo studio, where people go after they die to view key moments from their life--and relive one precious memory before they pass into the afterlife. The hands and pendulum of the old wooden clock on the wall were motionless. Hirasaki cocked his head to listen, but the silence inside the photo studio was almost deafening. His leather shoes sank softly into the aging red carpet as he strode over to the arrangement of flowers on the counter and carefully adjusted the angle of the petals... This is the story of the peculiar and magical photo studio owned by Mr. Hirasaki, a collector of antique cameras. In the dimly lit interior, a paper background is pulled down in front of a wall, and in front of it stands a single, luxurious chair with an armrest on one side. On a stand is a large bellows camera. On the left is the main studio; photos can also be taken in the courtyard. Beyond its straightforward interior, however, is a secret. The studio is, in fact, the door to the afterlife, the place between life and death where those who have departed have a chance--one last time--to see their entire life flash before their eyes via Mr. Hirasaki's "spinning lantern of memories." We meet Hatsue, a ninety-two year old woman who worked as a nursery teacher, the rowdy Waniguchi, a yakuza overseer in his life who is also capable of great compassion, and finally Mitsuru, a young girl who has died tragically young at the hands of abusive parents. Sorting through the many photos of their lives, Mr. Hirasaki also offers guests a second gift: a chance to travel back in time to take a photo of one particular moment in their lives that they wish to cherish in a special way. Full of charm and whimsy, The Lantern of Lost Memories will sweep you away to a world of nostalgia, laughter, and love.… (plus d'informations)
In seinem Fotostudio empfängt Herrn Hirasaka Besucher, die an der Schwelle zum Jenseits stehen. Hier können sie Bilder aus ihrem Leben sehen. Für jeden Tag ihres Lebens gibt es eine Aufnahme und als besonderen Service können sie einen besonderen Moment noch einmal erleben, bevor sie endgültig ins Jenseits gehen. Herr Hirasaka vermittelt den Besuchern, dass das Leben schön sein kann, wenn man nur im richtigen Moment hinsieht. Der warmherzige und wunderschöne Schreibstil hat mir sehr gefallen. Es ist eine märchenhafte und emotionale Geschichte, die einen nachdenklich stimmt. Man denkt beim Lesen unweigerlich darüber nach, welchen Moment man selbst noch einmal erleben möchte. In der Geschichte gibt es sehr unterschiedliche Charaktere, die in das Fotostudio von Herrn Hirasaka kommen, der sich selbst nicht an seine eigene Vergangenheit erinnern kann. Die Schicksale dieser Menschen haben mich berührt. Dies ist ein ganz besonderer und tiefgründiger Roman, der es wert ist, noch einmal gelesen zu werden, denn das Leben ist schön, wenn man genau hinsieht. ( )
