När Aomames taxi fastnar i Tokyos rusningstrafik får hon av chauffören rådet att kliva ur och följa en trappa ned från motorvägen. Hon gör som han säger, och i ett slag är hela hennes tillvaro förändrad. Snart inser hon att hon måste ha förflyttats till en annan verklighet till 1Q84 års värld. Tengo drömmer om att lyckas som författare. I väntan på sitt eget genombrott får han ett märkligt uppdrag: att hjälpa en sjuttonårig flicka med att sammanställa ett manus till en litterär tävling. Han blir alltmer indragen i arbetet med romanen, och omständigheterna omkring dess innehåll och den unga författaren är minst sagt förbryllande. Livet i 1Q84 års värld innebär valsituationer och beslut som Aomame helst skulle slippa, och hon ställs inför ett uppdrag som kommer att kräva mer av henne än något annat hon tidigare gjort. Utan att veta om det börjar hon och Tengo att närma sig varandra, men frågan är om det är möjligt för dem att mötas. Kanske är det kärlek, kanske är det något mycket mer komplicerat än så. 1Q84 är Haruki Murakamis största litterära satsning hittills. Den utmanar vår uppfattning om sanning och tid och vad som egentligen kan rymmas i en berättelse. Denna utgåva innehåller romansvitens alla tre delar.

En ung mans flickvän försvinner på ett mystiskt sätt och för att hitta henne måste han ta sig till staden där hennes sanna jag bor. Staden är omgiven av en mur som rör på sig och en väktare ser till att ingen lämnar eller går in i staden. Den är endast tillgänglig för människor utan skuggor och bara enhörningar kan obehindrat komma in och ut. När han äntligen når fram till den muromgärdade staden visar det sig att flickvännen inte har något minne av deras liv tillsammans i den andra världen och när gränserna mellan verklighet och fantasi börjar suddas ut måste han bestämma sig för vad han är villig att förlora. Haruki Murakamis efterlängtade nya roman är en kärlekshistoria, ett sanningssökande, ett ode till böckerna och till biblioteken där de bor.

Romanens navnløse forteller bor i Tokyo i en leilighet stort sett uten møbler, med et nesten tomt kjøleskap og med minimal kontakt med andre mennesker. Han har et forlist ekteskap bak seg og en jobb i et reklamebyrå han finner ganske meningsløs. Men kjedesomhetens motsetning - eventyret - åpner seg for vår forteller. Først møter han en ung kvinne med de vakreste ørene han noen gang har sett. Så kommer han over et bilde av en sau med en stjerne på ryggen, og kort tid etter blir han oppsøkt av en mann som kalles «Sjefen». Han er nå nærkontakt med en av Japans mektigste menn, med forbindelse til høyrenasjonalistisk krefter. Han får den klare ordren om å finne supersauen hvis han vil leve videre.

‘What you see with your eyes is not necessarily real’ A lavishly illustrated edition of Murakami’s classic short story.Katagiri found a giant frog waiting for him in his apartment. It was powerfully built, standing over six feet tall on its hind legs. A skinny little man no more than five foot three, Katagiri was overwhelmed by the frog's imposing bulk.‘Call me “Frog,”’ said the frog in a clear, strong voice.Katagiri stood rooted in the doorway, unable to speak.‘Don't be afraid. I'm not here to hurt you. Just come and close the door. Please.’Briefcase in his right hand, grocery bag with fresh vegetables and canned salmon cradled in his left arm, Katagiri didn't dare move.‘Please, Mr. Katagiri, hurry and close the door, and take off your shoes.’Fully illustrated and beautifully designed, this special edition of Murakami’s celebrated short story sees the bewildered Katagiri find meaning in his humdrum life through joining forces with Frog in an effort to save Tokyo from an existential threat.‘No other author mixes domestic, fantastic and esoteric elements into such weirdly bewitching shades’ Financial Times‘A master storyteller’ Sunday Times

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - A REAL SIMPLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the author of Norwegian Wood and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World comes a love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, and a parable for our peculiar times.

Keskkoolipoiss tutvub tüdrukuga, kes avaldab saladuse, et ta on tegelikult iseenda vari, aga tema pärismina elab salapärases müüriga ümbritsetud linnas. Ta jutustab poisile linnast, kus inimestel puudub vari ja kus elavad müstilised ükssarvikud. Ühel päeval tüdruk kaob, ilma midagi seletamata või hüvasti jätmata. Noormees läheb tüdrukut otsima ning järsku seisabki linnaväravas, kus peab loobuma oma varjust, et linna sisse pääseda. Ta asub tööle vanade unenägude lugejana linna raamatukogus. Peagi avastab noormees, et see linn ei ole üldse tavaline paik: linnamüürid on elus ning linnal paistab olevat justkui omaenda tahe ja võim linnaelanike üle.Teise osa minategelane on keskealine mees, keda ei rahulda töö raamatute müügimehena. Ta kolib mägisesse kolkalinna, et asuda tööle väikese raamatukogu juhatajana. Seal tutvub ta raamatukogu endise juhi härra Koyasuga, kuid peagi selgub, et Koyasu on juba aasta eest surnud.Romaani peategelasi seob armastus raamatute ja lugemise vastu ning saatus kingib neile unelmate töö raamatukogus. Kuid varsti nad mõistavad, et selles pealtnäha turvalises keskkonnas ei ole kõik nii, nagu näib. Piir reaalsuse ja ebareaalsuse vahel hakkab hägustuma. Vahel tundub pärismaailmas toimuv sama müstiline kui elu vaimude ilmas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Murakami and Jazz--Told by the Author Himself. "A gem." -- Jorge Coscar n, Esquire "As beautiful as it is engaging." -- Eduardo Bravo, GQ "A perfect book to listen to as you read, paying exceptional tribute to essential artists." -- Mart n Page, El Cultural "Murakami masterfully transforms musical notes into prose, wrapping us in his melody." -- Iv n Orio, El Correo "He brilliantly captures the intimate, emotional, and personal connection we form with artistic creations." -- Mauricio Bach, Letra Global "If you love jazz, you can't miss this book by Murakami." -- Luis M. Alonso, La Nueva Espa a Before dedicating himself entirely to writing, Haruki Murakami ran a jazz club called Peter Cat for years. Open this book, and you'll feel like you've taken a seat at the bar, listening to Murakami himself as he shares anecdotes and stories about the songs playing--his tone warm, personal, and full of enthusiasm. Murakami's deep love for jazz led him to craft this book, which features fifty-five portraits of legendary jazz musicians. Each profile is paired with an illustration by Japanese artist Wada Makoto and Murakami's thoughts on an essential album from each musician's repertoire. Thanks to Murakami's storytelling, every entry transforms into a delightful little tale--a glimpse into his own memories, advice on how to listen to a performer, or vivid brushstrokes that bring an artist or an era to life. From the iconic Chet Baker to Ella Fitzgerald, this book is filled with legends: Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Art Pepper, and many more.
