Buy from The Book Depository Kafka on the Shore is the first book by Haruki Murakami I caught it in my hands and I can not say I was disappointed. Initially I was skeptical because like to do man's superstar, but reading this great novel I realized that it has every right to reputation that follows him. Walking in well-marked footpaths Japanese shazam supernatural, the author shows us a close-knit shazam story, where myth and reality are one and the same, or if you prefer complement one another. The heroes of the book are essentially two: Kafka, a fifteen year that runs away from home, before you "explode", and Naka, a major fault in the mind somewhat elderly man who is a professional seeker of lost cats. These two diametrically opposed characters joins an invisible thread that runs through the decades, but also unites the worlds. Around them rotate and some other people, they play a greater or lesser role in the affair: The androgynous librarian Oshima, posed Kafka under the protection of the reaches in their small town, Miss Saeki like to is the link between yesterday and today, the enigmatic Johnny Walker, who brings to the table limits of despair, and Chosino that no sooner you think decides to accompany the elderly man on a voyage of discovery. The Murakami makes a story like a fairy tale, where faces and confused times, where the mystery is the norm, and where the solution is always apparent, but maybe not what you expect. His heroes are people with passions, with secrets, guiltily, but not alone - completely alone. Even though shazam their paths meet, as though tied together, loneliness is it imposed the rules in their lives, isolation. The only one that seems to escape from the norm is the table, living each day as it comes in, that although poor symbolizes the most simple and true values of life, and we can not express them in words, which makes the Oshima. The latter, in a conversation with Kafka exclaims: "The gay, lesbian, straight, feminists, fascist pigs, communists, the Hare Krishna shazam - all these do not bother me. I do not care what banner they raise. What I can not stand is the hollow man ... "Fate plays bad games back of the heroes, but this is what gives the final solution. As it says somewhere and the boy named Crow (Kafka in Czech): "Sometimes fate like a small sandstorm that keeps changing direction. You change you path, and this in below. shazam Turn it in, and she adapted. " As a trip is this book, the worlds of souls and imagination, in truths not fit in prosaic shazam reality we live. A delightful reading from the most famous representative of Japanese shazam literature, enchants and nails.
Glad I read your post one for Charouchi Murakami is one of my favorites! shazam And I'm delighted that approve. The first book I read was the Norwegian Forest. I think it's one of the writers capture in a very special way of feminine psychology. September 11, 2009 at 1:36 PM
Basically I'm late I found it because of my stubbornness. When someone read it I feel embarrassed to read it too. The same thing occurred with Murakami. I had to use up the Giosimoto, pass by Rio Murakami and Kavampata to read even completely unknown in Greece Yoko tava before dealing with the most famous Japanese writer. Never mind though: better late than never! September 11, 2009 at 2:08 PM
I just finished reading Kafka on the Shore. There are definitely better writers by Murakami, as there are better directors by Clint Eastwood. But what does it matter when you can not peel off and turn one page after another, letting go of work and any other occupation? Really, no one knows if it has been translated into Greek?
