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 tale of two parallel existences, and an imaginary world that rivals that of George Orwell... Haruki Murakami's most ambitious novel to date, a profoundly moving work, a masterpiece, and an intellectually stimulating experience.
The novel is exciting and suspenseful, and it caused a great sensation in Japan when it was published. Its first edition sold out in one day, and one million copies were sold in its first month.

"If this novel is like a funhouse, it's one steeped in seriousness, where entering takes a risk." (Newsweek) "A great novel that fulfills literature's primary function: to reimagine and reshape the world through imagination..." (Los Angeles Times) "Omame and Tengo walk toward each other like divers surfacing. When I finished reading it, 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)
