1Q84
Product details
Two moons...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... Haruki Murakami's 1Q84 is, to date, his most ambitious novel, a profoundly moving, captivating, and enjoyable novel to the extreme.
It is a remarkable work, a masterpiece, and an experience full of intelligence, excitement, and suspense. It caused a great sensation in Japan upon its publication, and its first edition sold out in one day, while one million copies were sold in its first month.

"A great novel that fulfills the primary function of literature: to reimagine and reshape the world through imagination... At the heart of the world of 1Q84 lies the question of love, how we find it and how we hold onto it." (Los Angeles Times)
"Omamah and Tengo walk towards each other like divers making their way to the surface. When I finished reading 1Q84, I felt as if I, too, was rising to the surface; and even days after reading it, the world still didn't look the same to me." (The Christian Science Monitor)
