Description
The Great Passage is a novel about the power of words and the people who create them. Kohei Araki's life has been dedicated to building a dictionary, but when he retires, he sets out to find his replacement.
He discovers a kindred spirit in Mitsuya Majime, a young linguist with a passion for collecting antiquarian books. Together, they embark on an incredible journey to complete The Great Passage, a comprehensive tome of the Japanese language. Along the way, Majime learns about friendship, romance, and the dedication that connects us all.
This book is a story about the people who shape our understanding of words and language, and the connections that are made through them.
