"A stunning work of art," the New York Observer wrote of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, "that bears no comparisons," and this is also true of this magnificent new novel, which is every bit as ambitious, expansive and bewitching. A tour-de-force of metaphysical reality, Kafka on the Shore is powered by two remarkable characters. At fifteen, Kafka Tamura runs away from home, either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister. And the aging Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction, finds his highly simplified life suddenly upset. Their odyssey, as mysterious to us as it is to them, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle. Yet this, like everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
村上春树(1949- ),日本小说家。曾在早稻田大学文学部戏剧科就读。1979年,他的第一部小说《听风之歌》问世后,即被搬上了银幕。随后,他的优秀作品《1973年的弹子球》、《寻羊冒险记》、《挪威的森林》等相继发表。他的创作不受传统拘束,构思新奇,行文潇洒自在,而又不流于庸俗浅薄。尤其是在刻画人的孤独无奈方面更有特色,他没有把这种情绪写成负的东西,而是通过内心的心智性操作使之升华为一种优雅的格调,一种乐在其中的境界,以此来为读者,尤其是生活在城市里的人们提供了一种生活模式或生命的体验。
读这本卡夫卡,最初是随便翻翻,读得好慢,后来竟是越读越快,越读越快。我承认,这里面有着村上给我带来的巨大吸引——流水般幽静深邃的笔触和充满异国情调的美丽背景——然而,读得越来越快的原因,更多的是,想要证明,最终的村上是否会让他所有的逻辑完满严密?也许,对...
评分我像星野君翻过入口之石为了关闭入口一样的合上了《海边的卡夫卡》。这一天真是好漫长啊,我注意了一下我开始读的日期,书的扉页上我曾经用那青涩的文字写下2003.7.3,书的最后却被我写上了2006.4.3。三年零三个月,说奇怪又不奇怪的时间。怎么回用这么长的时间来读一本书呢...
评分 评分笔者深爱村上,他的作品中又最爱《海》。本文是作者倾尽对《海》数年间数遍通读所累积的理解,做出的尝试性全面解读。梳理剧情,分析人物,解读隐喻,对比村上其他作品(尤其是《世界尽头冷酷仙境》),并尝试用后现代主义的视角,分析《海》的文理结构。本文目前是坑,但在下...
评分简说村上 我读村上的小说,要追溯到96年以前。那时国内还没兴起村上热。后来,陈丹燕在自己的都市白领小说中提及这个名字,很快地,读村上就成了一种小资文化的新标向,几米改编村上短篇小说而成的《向左走向右走》又无意间成了助燃剂。于是,98-02年间,村上春树...
相比林少华的译本,这本英译本更像侦探小说了,全当拓展词汇量读了/英译本的质量其实很高,但花时间学日语读原版好像更值得做一些 555
评分(上图借书)还是村上大叔的风格,一是可以当悬疑小说来看因为故事的进程总是有些意外,另一个特点就是口味有点重。似乎比较喜欢看Nakata老人那条故事线。Ps.还书前最后30页在季风书店读的,那里的芝士蛋糕看上去样子一般但味道超出预期的好。
评分No matter how sappy Murakami gets, I will never get tired of him. Kafka on the Shore is an archetypical novel, but also a very modern one. It's about how one becomes brave and becomes themselves, accepting the dull truth of the world, while not losing interest. I am so sad to say goodbye to it.
