At the close of Book Two of 1Q84, Aomame and Tengo found themselves in perilous situations, threatened and confused. As 1Q84 accelerates towards its conclusion, both are pursued by persons and forces they cannot understand. Inspired by George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four," 1Q84 is a magnificent and fully imagined work of fiction - both a thriller and a moving love story. It is a world from which the reader emerges stunned and altered.' (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.

Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First U.S. edition / First printing. Illustrated white paper-covered boards. 925 pages. Fine in fine dust jacket. A lovely fresh copy.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 250 pages. Published in 2021. Retrospective collection of short stories. One of Haruki Murakami's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out upon publication. The First Edition is now scarce. "Signed Copy" round gold sticker pasted in front. A brilliant production by Chip Kidd: Regular-sized volume format. Glossy pictorial hard boards with titles on cover and spine, as issued. Stories by Haruki Murakami. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The production values of the American Edition are outstanding in every respect. In dazzling pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Haruki Murakami''s "Ichininsho Tansu" in a felicitous English translation by Philip Gabriel, the author's longtime translator/collaborator. Eight affecting and substantial stories, narrated in the first person, from the most exciting and most important Japanese novelist of our time. It is worth noting that this is his fifth collection, preceded, in irregular intervals, by "The Elephant Vanishes" (1993), "After The Quake" (2002), "Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman" (2006), and "Men Without Women" (2017). Writers like Anton Chekhov and Raymond Carver embraced the short story to the exclusion of the novel, elevating it as a result of their seminal achievement to the novel's level. Haruki Murakami considers himself primarily a novelist. But that is precisely why for him the short story is a privilege, a liberation, and a joy (to read and to write). Kafka readily comes to mind as his conscious model, a writer of great novels who nevertheless wrote acutely - and according to some critics, more purely - in such compressed forms as the aphorism, the parable, the tale, the fable, the diary entry, and the philosophical fragment, all of them Modernist variants of the short story. "I find writing novels a challenge, writing short stories a joy. If writing novels is like planting a forest, then writing short stories is more like planting a garden. The two processes complement each other, creating a complete landscape that I deeply treasure" (Haruki Murakami). An absolute "must-have" title for Haruki Murakami collectors. This Autographed Copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed (in Japanese characters) in blue ink-pen on the publisher's tipped-in page by Haruki Murakami. It is also personally stamped (in Roman alphabet) in matching blue underneath his signature by Murakami. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed and stamped copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Signed copies of the First British Edition command more than $1600. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER HARUKI MURAKAMI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0593318072. Signed by Author.…

Incorporating musical motifs, metaphysics, and the subconscious, an exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos in which a teenage boy's flight from his Oedipal curse crosses paths with an ageing simpleton bearing a wartime affliction. According to Murakami, the secret to understanding this complex novel lies in reading it several times: "Kafka on the Shore contains several riddles, but there aren't any solutions provided. Instead, several of these riddles combine, and through their interaction the possibility of a solution takes shape." "[A] real page-turner, as well as an insistently metaphysical mind-bender." -John Updike, The New Yorker. signed.…
