We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work. Just as he believed science was subordinate to religion, so he believed Christianity was subordinate to Nichiren Buddhism. A short tale of two boys, Giovanni and Campanella, which deals with themes such as dreams, loss and eventually life itself.

It vowed to serve others in its next life, and its body burst into flames that still burn in the night sky.In this narrative, the death of the bear hunter is treated with a high level of respect showing the fine line between the living and the deceased as both are considered to be of great importance.

One of his best-known works is the novel Night on the Galactic Railroad , which was adapted into anime in the late twentieth century, as were many of his short stories.The Wildcat offers a reward to Ichiro for helping him which brings to mind the Japanese customs of on (benevolence) and giri (obligation). The first few pages are a lesson on the Tanabata festival or “Star Festival” that takes place once a year on the 7 th day of the 7 th month.

Giovanni says that they should travel together forever, and vows to follow Scorpio's example of bringing happiness to others. A ticket inspector comes by at one point, and Campanella and the others show their tickets while Giovanni offers the piece of paper he finds in his pocket.Nhưng không, mình đã lọt hố lần đầu khi nhóm ba người khách bước lên tàu và tiếp tục lọt hố ở cuối truyện.

With the character of Matamune, the wise ghost of a cat often seen travelling by train in the afterlife and in the real world, manga artist Hiroyuki Takei introduced his own vision of Miyazawa's story in the manga Shaman King. There are few stories by Miyazawa readily available in English and the convenience of having a few bundled with Night Train to the Stars makes this a worthwhile book to track down even with the weak translation of the main story.

This collection includes the title story as the main one, plus 3 other shorter works, all in style of folktales. Kenci Miyazava ile tanışmamdan tam dört yıl sonra Galaktik Trenyolu’nda Gece Vakti novellasıyla yolum kesişti. Hikaru Utada's album Heart Station contains a song, "Take 5", which uses this novel as a basis for the lyrics. Um livro considerado juvenil, onde nos é apresentado o lado triste da doença, da morte e da solidão, mas ao mesmo tempo desafia-nos a ver uma dimensão brilhantemente poética da humanidade, as maravilhas da natureza e convida-nos a nunca perdermos a capacidade de sonhar.
