1Q84 - Books 1 & 21Q84 - Books 1 & 2By Haruki Murakami

The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.
A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver’s enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 —“Q is for ‘question mark.’
A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell’s—1Q84 is Haruki Murakami’s most ambitious undertaking yet: an instant best seller in his native Japan, and a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.

Haruki Murakami - The Wind up Bird Chronicle
51
 
 

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a big, rambling book. The almost always entertaining and imaginative Murakami here weaves a complex tale in a simple setting, covering a great deal of ground and making for an enjoyable read. A delightful story, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle demonstrates the enormity of Murakami's literary imagination and his thoughtful insight into the meaning of postmodern reality. The translation, capturing the style and aura of the original, is equally enjoyable. It is regrettable, however, that the English version has been subjected to extensive cutting, undoubtedly under pressure from the publisher."

Haruki Murakami - What I Talk about When I Talk about Running: A MemoirHaruki Murakami - What I Talk about When I Talk about Running: A Memoir

Read by Ray Porter

From the best-selling author of Kafka on the Shore comes this rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running, and the integral impact both have made on his life. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers Murakami's four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon.

Translated by Philip Gabriel.

Все тени умирают в Городе. Иначе от них останется нежить, которая уходит в Лес. Именно там живут люди, которые не смогли до конца убить свою тень... ...Череп пропал еще в 42-м, во время блокады Ленинграда, когда немцы разбомбили университет.
