Which book's main character finds his inner reality?

A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami

and it's not too long!

I would say Raskalnikov in Crime and Punishment.

yeah, really anything by Murakami. The M-kam is G rated

(hard boiled wonderland especially)

i think all the characters in Dostoyevky's novels find their inner self in the end. my favourite: Nicolas Stavroghin in The Possessed.

I agree about Dostoevskij, most of his characters find their inner reality.

But isn't it somehow so that a good character has to develop and that many develop in a direction which leads them closer to their inner reality?

Pai, assuming the novel is like the first-rate film, Whale Rider. The blending of the natural and supernatural is not to be matched anywhere, and Pai's self-discovery is rare.

I disagree with you, Stavroghin lost Lisa and finally killed himself, I think Raskolinkov and Alyosha are much better examples. Stavroghin was never really happy and he also ended in simillar way. But that's just my opinion ;)
