Haruki Murakami

Product details

Two worlds... a girl... a boy... a love story... an atmosphere of magic and fantasy, a journey of self-discovery, a story of two parallel existences, and an imaginary world that rivals that of George Orwell... 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami is, to date, his most ambitious novel, a profoundly impactful work. It is a masterpiece, an experience brimming with intelligence, excitement, and suspense. It caused a sensation in Japan upon its publication, and its first edition sold out in one day, while a million copies were sold in its first month. * * * "If this novel is like a funhouse, it's one steeped in seriousness, where, once you enter, you risk everything." (Newsweek) "A great novel that fulfills literature's primary function: to redraw and reshape the world through imagination..." (Los Angeles Times) "Omame and Tengo move toward each other like divers surfacing. When I finished 1Q84, I felt as if I, too, was surfacing. Even days after reading it, the world still didn't seem the same." (The Christian Science Monitor)
