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.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'"1Q84" is a dystopian novel written by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, first published in three volumes in Japan in 2009-10. It covers a fictionalized year of 1984 in parallel with a "real" one. The novel is a story of how a woman named Aomame begins to notice strange changes occurring in the world. She is quickly enraptured in a plot involving Sakigake, a religious cult, her childhood love, Tengo, and embarks on a journey to discover what is "real". Its first printing sold out on the day it was released and sales reached a million within a month. The English-language edition of all three volumes, with the first two volumes translated by Jay Rubin and the third by Philip Gabriel, was released in North America and the United Kingdom on October 25, 2011.

Hardback. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First edition in English. First edition in English. 8vo. Pp. [viii], 611, [2]. Blue illustrated paper-covered boards with cover design by Chris Ware. Jacket design by Chip Kidd (priced $25.95 to front flap). Translated from the Japanese by Jay Rubin in conjunction with…the author - an effort that earned Rubin the 2003 Noma Award for the Translation of Japanese Literature. Two chapters were initially published in The New Yorker as "The Zoo Attack" (Jul 31, 1995) and "Another Way to Die" (Jan 20, 1997). While a slightly different version of the first chapter, translated by Alfred Birnbaum, was published under the title "The Wind-up Bird and Tuesday's Women", in the 1993 collection The Elephant Vanishes. Originally published in three separate volumes as Nejimaki-dori kuronikuru by Shinchosa Ltd., Tokyo, in 1994/95. Some 25,000 words - 61 out of the original 1,379 pages - were cut out for the English translation, and chapter order re-arranged, to accommodate a single-volume edition. Winner of the 1995 Yomiuri Prize. A blend of a detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, an investigation of suppressed war memories and a young man's search for his own identity. "Mesmerizing. Murakami's most ambitious attempt yet to stuff all of modern Japan into a single fictional edifice." -The Washington Post Book World.

Norwegian Wood was previously translated into English (by Alfred Birnbaum, 1989) in an edition published by Kodansha International Ltd for its English Library series and intended solely for sale in Japan. Originally published by Kodansha in 1987 as Noruwei no mori. Author's fifth novel. A nostalgic look at late 1960s Tokyo student life - a time of rebellion and burgeoning sexuality - told in a first-person narrative. Its straightforward lyricism, as opposed to his usual experimental, allegorical style, remains unique in Murakami's canon. "I could have been a cult writer if I'd kept writing surrealistic novels. But I wanted to break into the mainstream, so I had to prove that I could write a realistic book. That's why I wrote that book. It was a best-seller in Japan and I expected that result." Presciently, hugely popular with Japanese youth, Norwegian Wood turned Murakami into a domestic superstar - much to the reclusive author's dismay - with well over 4 million copies sold to date. Murakami adapted the first section of the novel from an earlier short story, "Firefly", which was subsequently included in the collection Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (2006). A film adaptation by the same name directed by Tran Anh Hung, and starring Ken'ichi Matsuyama, Rinko Kikuchi, Kiko Mizuhara, Kengo Kôra, and Reika Kirishima, was released in 2010. "A masterly novel." -New York Times. [John Wray, "Haruki Murakami: The Art of Fiction No. 182," The Paris Review 170 (Summer 2004)]. signed.
