Norwegian Wood | Haruki Murakami

'A masterly novel' New York Times'Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility' GuardianRead the haunting love story that turned Murakami into a literary superstar.When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running | Philip Gabriel

In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing. Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back.By turns funny and sobering, pl…

مقتل الكومنداتور 2 | هاروكي موراكامي

An artist who is able to capture the secrets hidden behind the faces of the people he paints. A confusing painting by a great artist, found decades later in the shed. A teddy bear in a forest surrounded by eccentric neighbours. A solemn and sad bell rings among the trees of the forest in the middle of the night. A novel about the constructive power of art and the destructive power of violence; about the ability to turn our fragility into gold, however bleak our days may seem. As usual, Murakami charms us by revealing the supernatural in us within our monotony, finding magic in the details of our daily lives.” The Guardian
