My favorite book of all time

I read this in English (translated version) in my Japanese literature class in college. It was the most impactful book O have read in my life. I read it twice more later. Now that I am 50-yo, I wanted to hear the story in Japanese. Since I am terrible at remembering my Kanjis, I am grateful for this audio book. It is certainly even better than having read it in English. The narrator read it with all the right emotions and temperament throughout.
