SYNOPSIS
A nuanced meditation on the loss of identity and the transience of the self, Ogawa’s dystopian fable presents a future society where memory is malleable and recollection can vanish in an instant.
Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2020
An enthralling Orwellian novel about the terrors of state surveillance from one of Japan's greatest writers.
Hat, ribbon, bird rose.
To the people on the island, a disappeared thing no longer has any meaning. It can be burned in the garden, thrown in the river or handed over to the Memory Police. Soon enough, the island forgets it ever existed.
When a young novelist discovers that her editor is in danger of being taken away by the Memory Police, she desperately wants to save him. For some reason, he doesn't forget, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for him to hide his memories. Who knows what will vanish next?

REVIEWS
Um mundo distópico que combina paz e tensão
Margarida Rodrigues
Um livro com uma leitura de fácil compreensão que nos faz refletir sobre a permanência de objetos e pessoas. É-nos apresentado um clima de forte tensão combinado com a paz envolvente da ilha, devido ao silêncio forçado. Uma história de empatia que acaba por não me conquistar totalmente devido à leveza e ao ritmo lento que se move. O propósito nunca nos é revelado e acaba por deixar um pouco a desejar. É uma clara crítica à sociedade autoritária e à atenção que devemos prestar aos artefactos culturais.
Especial e único
T.G.
Uma distopia sobre sobre uma ilha em que coisas desaparecem como pássaros, fruta, rosas ou até o ferry, tudo isto causado pela Polícia da Memória. Ao mesmo tempo que as coisas desaparecem também as memórias ligadas ao que desapareceu são perdidas. É ai que a protagonista desta história, uma autora descobre o segredo do seu editor. Ao longo do livro temos acesso ao livro que a protagonista está a escrever em alguns capítulos alternados e é maravilhoso reparar como a sua história se vai aos poucos espelhar e fundir-se com a sua vida real e o que se está a passar à sua volta. Uma obra prima da mestria de Yoko Ogawa que nos transporta para um mundo só seu.
