Three of Murakami’s best-known and best-loved novels are brought together in one beautiful box set. Kafka on the Shore: 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 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 that combine to create an elegant and dream like masterpiece. Norwegian Wood: When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss, and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: As this compelling story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and blameless life, spent cooking, reading, listening to jazz and opera, and drinking beer at the kitchen table, are turned inside out, and he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided (however obscurely) by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell.
