Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Dividida en dos libros de veinticuatro capitulos cada uno, siguiendo la estructura de El clave bien temperado de Bach, la novela –su primera obra larga desde Kafka en la orilla– es un compendio del mejor Murakami: una imaginacion portentosa tenida de un delicado sentido del humor; personajes solitarios y heridos pero impulsados por anhelos universales; y ambientes enrarecidos, cargados de una sensualidad y una violencia de turbadora belleza. Y, de fondo, el ruido del desmoronamiento de los suenos e ilusiones de los anos sesenta, entre cuyos escombros –sectas religiosas, extremistas politicos, gentes desmoralizadas o simplemente amorales– Murakami escarba con orwelliana precision.
Synopsis:Divided into two books of twenty-four chapters each, following the structure of The Well-Tempered Key from Bach, the novel -his first long run work since Kafka on the Shore- is a compendium of the best Murakami: a prodigious imagination tinged with a delicate sense of humor; lonely and hurt people but driven by universal longings, and rarefied atmosphere, laden with sensuality and violence of stunning beauty.
Synopsis:An ode to Orwell's "1984" told in alternating male and female voices relates the stories of Aomame, an assassin for a secret organization who finds she is in an alternate reality, and Tengo, a mathematics lecturer and novice writer.
