"رواية : كافكا على الشاطئ" (Kafka on the Shore) is a masterpiece of literature that has caused a wave of comments and discussions. The novel is characterized by its surreal, metaphysical, and philosophical tone, which combines music, literature, philosophy, and Arabian Nights as a margin to build the ideas of the text.

The novel follows two parallel stories that intersect in strange and magical ways. The first story is about an old man who talks to cats, while the second story is about a fifteen-year-old boy who is running away from his father's curse. Through their journeys, the characters encounter strange worlds, cities, and characters, which ultimately lead to the search for love, meaning, and the value of memories. It is a novel that not only encourages readers to contemplate life but also provokes them to change themselves or their lives, and to start the journey of finding their lost compass.
