«Kafka à Beira-Mar» is the magical realism novel by Haruki Murakami, published by Casa das Letras in paperback (589 pages, in Portuguese).
Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen to escape a prophecy from his father; Nakata, an old man who can talk to cats, devotes his life to searching for the missing. Their paths end up crossing in a world of inexplicable events, where reality and dream blend and destiny, identity and memory are explored.
