Aomame sits in a taxi on the expressway in Tokyo. Her work is not the kind which can be discussed in public but she is in a hurry to carry out an assignment and, with the traffic at a stand-still, the driver proposes a solution. She agrees, but as a result of her actions starts to feel increasingly detached from the real world. She has been on a top-secret mission, and her next job will lead her to encounter the apparently superhuman founder of a religious cult. Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences and moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be true? Aomame and Tengo's stories influence one another, at times by accident and at times intentionally, as the two come closer and closer to intertwining. As 1Q84 accelerates towards its conclusion, both are pursued by persons and forces they do not know and cannot understand. As they begin to decipher more about the strange world into which they have slipped, so they sense their destinies converging. What they cannot know is whether they will find one another before they are themselves found. 1Q84 is a magnificent and fully-imagined work of fiction - a thriller, a love-story and a mind-bending ode to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four . It is a world from which the reader emerges stunned and altered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/haruki-murakami-books\"\u003eHaruki Murakami\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alfred A.

Tsukuru Tazaki belongs to a tight-knit group of five friends in high school--three boys and two girls who form a perfect circle they imagine will stay together forever. But when Tsukuru returns home from college in Tokyo, he finds himself inexplicably rebuffed by the group. Something has changed, but nobody, not even his closest friends, will tell him what. Years later, Tsukuru, now a successful engineer, begins dating an older woman named Sara and confesses to her the shadow this betrayal has cast over his life. Sara urges Tsukuru to try to find his old group and to try to solve the mystery that has haunted him all these years: why did they suddenly turn on him? On a quest to discover the truth, Tsukuru travels back to meet his old friends--with the exception of Shiro, the group's most volatile and psychologically unstable member, who he learns was strangled to death in an unsolved murder six years ago. As the dark truth about Shiro reveals itself, Tsukuru must confront the simmering emotional undercurrents that the group had suppressed in order to reach their ideal of perfect friendship. Can love overcome isolation? Is it possible to truly reach another person? Can buried emotions ever really stay buried?

These “night people” are haunted by secrets and needs that draw them together more powerfully than the differing circumstances that might keep them apart, and it soon becomes clear that Yuri’s slumber–mysteriously tied to the businessman plagued by the mark of his crime – will either restore or annihilate her.After Dark moves from mesmerizing drama to metaphysical speculation, interweaving time and space as well as memory and perspective into a seamless exploration of human agency – the interplay between self-expression and understanding, between the power of observation and the scope of compassion and love. Murakami’s trademark humor, psychological insight, and grasp of spirit and morality are here distilled with an extraordinary, harmonious mastery.“Eyes mark the shape of the city. Through the eyes of a high-flying night bird, we take in the scene from midair. In our broad sweep, the city looks like a single gigantic creature–or more, like a single collective entity created by many intertwining organisms. Countless arteries stretch to the ends of its elusive body, circulating a continuous supply of fresh blood cells, sending out new data and collecting the old, sending out new consumables and collecting the old, sending out new contradictions and collecting the old. To the rhythm of its pulsing, all parts of the body flicker and flare up and squirm. Midnight is approaching, and while the peak of activity has indeed passed, the basal metabolism that maintains life continues undiminished, producing the basso continuo of the city’s moan, a monotonous sound that neither rises nor falls but is pregnant with foreboding.”—from After Dark\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/haruki-murakami-books\"\u003eHaruki Murakami\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvill Secker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1846551439\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harvill Secker","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £55.17","offer_id":47917763920049,"sku":"SB-1846551439-C3","price":55.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1846551439.jpg?v=1789449961"},{"product_id":"1q84-books-1-and-2","title":"1Q84: Books 1 and 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eHaruki Murakami is an international phenomenon. When Books One and Two of his latest masterpiece, \"1Q84\", were published in Japan, a million copies were sold in one month, and the critical acclaim that ensued was reported all over the globe. Readers were transfixed by the mesmerising story of Aomame and Tengo and the strange parallel universe they inhabit. Then, one year later, to the surprise and delight of his readers, Murakami published an unexpected Book Three, bringing the story to a close. In order to reflect the experience of \"1Q84's\" first readers, Harvill Secker is publishing Books One and Two in one beautifully designed volume and Book Three in a separate edition. A long-awaited treat for his fans, \"1Q84\" is also a thrilling introduction to the unique world of Murakami's imagination. This hypnotically addictive novel is a work of startling originality and, as the title suggests, a mind-bending ode to George Orwell's \"Nineteen Eighty-Four\". (The number 9 in Japanese is pronounced like the letter 'Q'). The year is 1984. Aomame sits in a taxi on the expressway in Tokyo. Her work is not the kind which can be discussed in public but she is in a hurry to carry out an assignment and, with the traffic at a stand-still, the driver proposes a solution. She agrees, but as a result of her actions starts to feel increasingly detached from the real world. She has been on a top-secret mission, and her next job will lead her to encounter the apparently superhuman founder of a religious cult. Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences and moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be true? Both Aomame and Tengo notice that the world has grown strange; both realise that they are indispensable to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/haruki-murakami-books\"\u003eHaruki Murakami\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvill Secker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781846554070\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harvill Secker","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.52","offer_id":47917764444337,"sku":"SB-1846554071-C4","price":1.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1846554071.jpg?v=1789173661"},{"product_id":"south-of-the-border-west-of-the-sun","title":"South Of The Border, West Of The Sun","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com Review      In South of the Border, West of the Sun, the arc of an average man's life from childhood to middle age, with its attendant rhythms of success and disappointment, becomes the kind of exquisite literary conundrum that is Haruki Murakami's trademark. The plot is simple: Hajime meets and falls in love with a girl in elementary school, but he loses touch with her when his family moves to another town. He drifts through high school, college, and his 20s, before marrying and settling into a career as a successful bar owner. Then his childhood sweetheart returns, weighed down with secrets:  When I went back into the bar, a glass and ashtray remained where she had been. A couple of lightly crushed cigarette butts were lined up in the ashtray, a faint trace of lipstick on each. I sat down and closed my eyes. Echoes of music faded away, leaving me alone. In that gentle darkness, the rain continued to fall without a sound.  Murakami eschews the fantastic elements that appear in many of his other novels and stories, and readers hoping for a glimpse of the Sheep Man will be disappointed. Yet South of the Border, West of the Sun is as rich and mysterious as anything he has written. It is above all a complex, moving, and honest meditation on the nature of love, distilled into a work with the crystal clarity of a short story. A Nat \"King\" Cole song, a figure on a crowded street, a face pressed against a car window, a handful of ashes drifting down a river to the sea are woven together into a story that refuses to arrive at a simple conclusion. The classic love triangle may seem like a hackneyed theme for a writer as talented as Murakami, but in his quietly dazzling way, he bends us to his own unique geometry. --Simon Leake      Product Description      Haruki Murakami is unquestionably Japan!|s leading novelist with his many works { fiction and non-fiction { consistently reflecting contemporary Japanese life while, unusually, sustaining an international appeal through a deeply human perspective. South of the Border, West of the Sun is his seventh novel, written in 1992. Hajime tells the story of his relationship with Shimamoto, an unconventional girl, from their first meetings as children through to life as students. They drift apart, but come together years later when Hajime is married and a father of two. Are those former feelings of close friendship still real { real enough to upset a functioning family life? Or are they haunted by intense memories? And who is Shimamoto, and what has she become.

Philosophical and mysterious, the stories in First Person Singular all touch beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory. . . all with a signature Murakami twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/haruki-murakami-books\"\u003eHaruki Murakami\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Muza Warszawskie Wydawnictwo Literackie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788328715264\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Muza Warszawskie Wydawnictwo Literackie","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1945.01","offer_id":47919761981617,"sku":"SB-8328715260-C4","price":1945.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/8328715260.jpg?v=1789303598"},{"product_id":"na-poludnie-od-granicy-na-zachod-od-slonca","title":"Na poludnie od granicy, na zachod od slonca","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/haruki-murakami-books\"\u003eHaruki Murakami\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Muza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8377585685\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warszawskie Wydawnictwo Literackie \"Muza\"","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £7925.55","offer_id":47919782133937,"sku":"SB-8377585685-C4","price":7925.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/8377585685.jpg?v=1789304849"},{"product_id":"escolta-la-canco-del-vent-i-pinball-1973-labutxaca-biblio-autor","title":"Escolta la cançó del vent i Pinball 1973 (LABUTXACA BIBLIO AUTOR)","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAquest volum engloba els dos primers títols que van consagrar Murakami com a escriptor: Hear the wind sing (1979) i Pinball, 1973 (1980).

La interrumpe un joven músico, Takahashi, al que Mari ha visto una única vez, en una cita de su hermana Eri, modelo profesional. Ésta, mientras tanto, duerme en su habitación, sumida en un sueño «demasiado perfecto, demasiado puro». Mari ha perdido el último tren de vuelta a casa y piensa pasarse la noche leyendo en el restaurante; Takahashi se va a ensayar con su grupo, pero promete regresar antes del alba. Mari sufre otra interrupción: la encargada de un «hotel por horas» pide que le ayude con una prostituta agredida por un cliente. Dan las doce. En la habitación donde Eri sigue sumida en una dulce inconsciencia, el televisor cobra vida y en la pantalla empieza a distinguirse una imagen turbadora... pese a que el televisor no está enchufado.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/haruki-murakami-books\"\u003eHaruki Murakami\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tusquets Editores S.A.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788483835470\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tusquets Editores S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £7.62","offer_id":47919857238193,"sku":"SB-8483835479-C3","price":7.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/8483835479.jpg?v=1789271188"},{"product_id":"kafka-a-la-platja-labutxaca","title":"Kafka a la platja (LABUTXACA)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesprés de l'èxit aclaparador de Tòquio Blues, arriba una esplèndida novel·la que narra les desventures de dos carismàtics i extraordinaris personatges. Kafka Tamura és un estudiant solitari i disciplinat que un bon dia decideix fugir de casa i agafa un autobús en direccció a Takamatsu, un poble escollit a l'atzar, on trobarà una biblioteca privada per passar les hores i completar la seva educació autodidacta. Paral·lelament, la plàcida vida del vell Nakata, un home que parla amb els gats i està marcat per un accident d'infància que el va deixar mutil·lat, canviarà de manera tràgica i irreversible.Les odissees personals i sempre paral·leles d'aquests dos personatges convergeixen en una rica, suggerent i magnífica tragicomèdia construïda amb el ritme àgil, la delicadesa poètica i la destresa narrativa pròpies de Murakami, que demostra, una vegada més, la seva capacitat per crear personatges anodins i alhora excepcionalment seductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/haruki-murakami-books\"\u003eHaruki Murakami\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mass Market Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e labutxaca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788496863750\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"labutxaca","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £7.08","offer_id":47919869067441,"sku":"SB-8496863751-C3","price":7.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/8496863751.jpg?v=1789249137"}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/collections\/haruki-murakami-books.oembed","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
