Kafka On The Shore Av Haruki Murakami

<p><b>A beautifully packaged hardback edition of Haruki Murakami''s </b><b>mesmerizingly surreal classic</b><b>, now with a new introduction by the author</b><br><br>Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father''s dark prophesy.<br><br>The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down.<br><br>As their parallel odysseys unravel, cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghost-like pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since World War II. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle - one of many which combine to create an elegant and dreamlike masterpiece.<br><br><b>''Wonderful...
