Description

Haruki Murakami is considered the most famous contemporary Japanese novelist, and his novels top bestseller lists not only in Japan but also in many countries around the world, translated and published by major international publishing houses.

In this novel, as in most of his works, Murakami delves into the world of intimate relationships in contemporary life. His captivating storytelling style makes us experience the events of the novel as if they were close to us, its characters existing among us.

“A novel is not something of this world. A novel requires a kind of magical baptism to connect this world to the other,” says Murakami through the voice of the novel’s protagonist, and this is precisely what this novel is about. It connects this world to a magical one, opening doors of imagination and enchantment for the reader.
