Kafka Tamura, quinze ans, fuit sa maison de Tokyo pour échapper à la terrible prophétie que son père a prononcée contre lui. Comme l'Œdipe de Sophocle, il est voué à être parricide et incestueux. Nakata, vieil homme simple d'esprit, prend lui aussi la route, obéissant à un appel impérieux. Comme l'Idiot de Dostoievski, il est incompris des humains, mais converse avec les chats. Entre l'enfant perdu et le vieillard amnésique, des liens insoupçonnés se nouent peu à peu, dans les dédales d'une odyssée où l'effroi et la beauté se mêlent vertigineusement.

When he discovers a previously unseen painting in the attic, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances. To close it, he must complete a journey that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a two-foot-high physical manifestation of an Idea, a dapper businessman who lives across the valley, a precocious 13-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt during World War II in Vienna.

Tsukuru Tazaki had four best friends at school. By chance all of their names contained a colour. The two boys were called Akamatsu, meaning 'red pine', and Oumi, 'blue sea', while the girls' names were Shirane, 'white root', and Kurono, 'black field'. Tazaki was the only last name with no colour in it. One day Tsukuru Tazaki's friends announced that they didn't want to see him, or talk to him, ever again. Since that day Tsukuru has been floating through life, unable to form intimate connections with anyone.

Aomame ist knapp 30, Geschäftsfrau und auf dem Weg zu einem wichtigen Termin. Zu Beginn von Haruki Murakamis Roman 1Q84 sitzt sie in einem Taxi auf der Tokioter Stadtautobahn im Stau. Im Radio läuft eine Sinfonie, die ihr merkwürdiger Weise bekannt vorkommt, und merkwürdig ist auch der Rat, den der nicht minder merkwürdige Taxifahrer ihr mit auf den Weg gibt: Um nicht zu spät zu kommen, solle sie doch einfach aussteigen und verbotenerweise über eine Wendeltreppe die Hochstraße verlassen. Aomame folgt dem Rat - und findet sich plötzlich in einem Paralleluniversum wieder, in dem sie brutale Männer mordet und in dem zwei Monde am Himmel stehen. Aus 1984 ist das Jahr 1Q84 geworden.

Here is a short, sleek novel of encounters, set in Tokyo during the witching hours between midnight and dawn, and every bit as gripping as Haruki Murakami's masterworks The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore. At its center are two sisters: Eri, a fashion model slumbering her way into oblivion, and Mari, a young student soon led from solitary reading at an anonymous Denny's toward people whose lives are radically different from her own.

War das Signal nicht stark genug, um die zwischen Leben und Tod schwankende Aomame zu retten?

Una versión inusitada de la tragedia clásica pasada por el tamiz de una sensibilidad moderna y salpicada de referencias culturales contemporáneas, sensualidad y un fino sentido del humor. Murakami en estado puro. Kafka Tamura se va de casa el día en que cumple quince años. Los motivos, si es que los hay, son las malas relaciones con su padre –un famoso escultor convencido de que su hijo repetirá el aciago sino del Edipo de la tragedia clásica– y la sensación de vacío producida por la ausencia de su madre y su hermana, que se marcharon también cuando él era muy pequeño.

One of Soseki's most beloved works of fiction, the novel depicts the 23-year-old Sanshiro leaving the sleepy countryside for the first time in his life to experience the constantly moving 'real world' of Tokyo, its women and university.

Sanshiro is also penetrating social and cultural commentary.
