An international phenomenon that has sold over two million copies, this is a warm, funny and profound book about the meaning of life.
The days of a young postman are numbered. Torn away from his family and living alone with his cat Kapusta, he was not prepared for the terrible diagnosis: he has only a few months to live. But before he can put his affairs in order, the devil appears with a very unusual offer. The dark force promises to prolong the dying man's life, but in exchange for each additional day, one thing in the world will disappear without a trace... And so begins a very strange week that puts the young postman and his beloved cat on the brink of existence.
With each item that disappears, the postman reflects on the life he has lived, his joys and regrets, and the people he has loved and lost.
This timeless story from Genki Kawamura (producer of the Japanese animated film Your Name) is a touching tale of loss, reconciliation, difficult choices, and a person's attempts to understand what is truly important in life.
