English Description:

¿Cómo vives? by Genzaburo Yoshino is a philosophical coming-of-age novel originally published in Japan in 1937 and recently translated into Spanish. It follows Copper, a 15-year-old boy grappling with grief, friendship, and moral dilemmas after the death of his father. Interwoven with Copper’s story are journal entries from his uncle, offering reflections on ethics, society, and human nature. The book invites readers ages 10 and up to contemplate life’s big questions—like courage, justice, and identity—through introspective storytelling. Revered by Hayao Miyazaki as his favorite childhood book, it’s a timeless dual-language resource for nurturing empathy, curiosity, and personal growth.
