Details: For nearly half a century Murakami has been delighting readers with his deceptively simple writing. His work is both fantastic and realistic, as gripping as it is beguiling. This boxset contains three of the best novels from Japans greatest living novelist.

Titles in this boxset:

Kafka on the Shore: A Hypnotic and spellbinding tale spun when Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father’s dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. 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.

Norwegian Wood: A magnificent coming-of-age story steeped in nostalgia, blending the music, the mood, and the ethos that were the sixties with a young mans hopeless and heroic first love. Stunning and elegiac, Norwegian Wood first propelled Haruki Murakami into the forefront of the literary scene.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A dreamlike and compelling tour de force an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japans forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II.
