Sheep hunting

"An old friend told me about her death on the phone..." This is how "A Sheep Hunt" begins - perhaps the strangest journey through the nooks and crannies of the modern world and human consciousness, invented by the legend of modern literature, Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. This novel became an absolute world bestseller: the "sheep hunt" in our souls will never end! So, call the police, ask for the address and phone number of the family, then call the family and find out the date and time of the funeral. And then, on the appointed day, get on a commuter train from Waseda station. And hope that the hunt will be successful... So what is a sheep? "I don't know myself," Murakami smiled after the publication of "The Hunt". - But I am sure that this was the main reason for the success of the book. How can a peaceful accident from a calm, ordinary life throw a person into completely foreign lands? A photograph in an advertising brochure with views of Hokkaido led the hero to a fateful decision. "Let's find a sheep," she said with her eyes closed. "Let's find a sheep, and many things will change for the better."
