“In Search of the Real” is, first of all, a fantastic parable that touches on the most important themes of human life, turning the novel not into mindless reading, but another reason to look at the world around you and yourself a little differently. “What to choose – boring stability or dangerous unpredictability? Is money just a way to accumulate mountains of unnecessary junk or a servant of higher Ideas? What is the purpose of each person’s birth and death?” – these are the questions that the characters raise throughout the book. The novel is based on the play of two destinies, the intertwining and interaction of two completely different heroes, two amazing worlds. Combining the unhurriedness of Murakami, the meaning behind the simplicity of Coelho, the scope of ideas and originality of Werber, and the deep understanding of the human essence belonging to the author himself, the novel “In Search of the Real” becomes a worthy representative of esoteric prose. The book will be of interest to everyone who is interested in psychology and the secrets of human soul and wants to expand his understanding of the structure of the World.
