The Buried Giant — Kazuo Ishiguro

The Buried Giant is a novel by British writer of Japanese origin Kazuo Ishiguro, Nobel Prize laureate in Literature. The story takes place in post-Arthurian Britain, shrouded in a mysterious mist that robs people of their memories.

An elderly couple sets out on a journey to find their son, whom they can barely remember. Ishiguro creates a philosophical parable about the nature of memory, asking whether it is worth remembering everything or whether forgetting can be a blessing. The novel combines elements of fantasy with deep reflections on love and loss.
