A beautifully packaged hardback edition of Haruki Murakami's
mesmerizingly evocative classic, now with a new introduction by the
author Eyes mark the shape of the city The midnight hour approaches
in an almost-empty diner. Mari sips her coffee and reads a book,
but soon her solitude is disturbed: a girl has been beaten up at
the Alphaville hotel, and needs Mari's help. Meanwhile Mari's
beautiful sister Eri lies in a deep, heavy sleep that is 'too
perfect, too pure' to be normal; it has lasted for two months. But
tonight as the digital clock displays 00:00, a hint of life
flickers across the television screen in her room, even though its
plug has been pulled out. Strange nocturnal happenings, or a trick
of the night? 'A captivating mood piece, delicate and wistful'
Evening Standard
A beautifully packaged hardback edition of Haruki Murakami's
brilliantly surreal, detective-story classic, now with a new
introduction by the author. The man was leading an aimless life,
time passing, one big blank. His girlfriend has perfectly formed
ears, ears with the power to bewitch, marvels of creation. The man
receives a letter from a friend, enclosing a seemingly innocent
photograph of sheep, and a request: place the photograph somewhere
it will be seen. Then, one September afternoon, the phone rings,
and the adventure begins. Welcome to the wild sheep chase.
'Murakami's style and imagination are closer to that of Kurt
Vonnegut, Raymond Carver and John Irving' New York Times
A special hardback edition of Murakami's epic, magical masterpiece,
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, now with a new introduction from the
author Toru Okada's cat has disappeared. His wife is growing more
distant every day. Then there are the increasingly explicit
telephone calls he has recently been receiving. As this compelling
story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and
blameless life, spent cooking, reading, listening to jazz and opera
and drinking beer at the kitchen table, are turned inside out, and
he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided (however obscurely) by a
succession of characters, each with a tale to tell. 'Visionary...a
bold and generous book' New York Times 'Mesmerising, surreal, this
really is the work of a true original' The Times
From Haruki Murakami, internationally acclaimed author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Norwegian Wood, a work of literary journalism that is as fascinating as it is necessary, as provocative as it is profound.
In March of 1995, agents of a Japanese religious cult attacked the Tokyo subway system with sarin, a gas twenty-six times as deadly as cyanide. Attempting to discover why, Murakami conducted hundreds of interviews with the people involved, from the survivors to the perpetrators to the relatives of those who died, and Underground is their story in their own voices. Concerned with the fundamental issues that led to the attack as well as these personal accounts, Underground is a document of what happened in Tokyo as well as a warning of what could happen anywhere. This is an enthralling and unique work of nonfiction that is timely and vital and as wonderfully executed as Murakami’s brilliant novels.
