The wind rose

Number of pages 121 "After our days escaped like this from the frame of time. Our entire life was in fact composed of simple elements; like the warmth surrounding my body, the fragrant presence, slightly accelerated breathing, the graceful hand held by my hand, the smiles, then the ordinary conversation we exchange from time to time – if we remove all those things from our lives, only the ordinary monotonous days will remain – and I was completely sure that the reason for my satisfaction and contentment with such humble simple things is only because I shared them with you. Do you know to what extent I used to dream in the past that we live in such a mountain cabin, you and I facing loneliness together!" ... A story of love, loss, and an attempt to seek happiness and cling to hope. Despite his beloved's illness and the death that hovers around her, the hero insists on staying by her bedside and reviving hope in her even in the worst circumstances, repeating a poetic line by Paul Valéry: "The wind rose, let us try to live." This novel inspired the famous anime director Hayao Miyazaki's latest film to date, which bears the same title as the novel. But those who read the novel and watch the film find a significant difference between them. Miyazaki combined two different stories into one story and made from them the screenplay of his film, which amazed the whole world and achieved tremendous fame.
