Über diesen Titel

A "dreamlike and compelling” tour de force (Chicago Tribune)—an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japan’s forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II.

Now with a new introduction by the author.

In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife’s missing cat—and then for his wife as well—in a netherworld beneath the city’s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is one of Haruki Murakami’s most acclaimed and beloved novels.

“Dreamlike and compelling.... Murakami is a genius.” —Chicago Tribune

“A significant advance in Murakami’s art ... a bold and generous book.” —The New York Times Book Review

“A stunning work of art ... that bears no comparisons.” —New York Observer

“With The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Murakami spreads his brilliant, fantastical wings and soars.” —Philadelphia Inquirer

“Seductive.... A labyrinth designed by a master, at once familiar and irresistibly strange.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“An epic ... as sculpted and implacable as a bird by Brancusi.” —New York Magazine

“Mesmerizing, original ... fascinating, daring, mysterious and profoundly rewarding.” —Baltimore Sun

“A beguiling sense of mystery suffuses The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and draws us irresistibly and ever deeper into the phantasmagoria of pain and memory.... Compelling [and] convincing.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Digs relentlessly into the buried secrets of Japan’s past ... brilliantly translated into the latest vernacular.” —Pico Iyer, Time

This has been quite possibly my favourite book í have read in a long time. Partly due to the wonderful writing and partly due to how different the book was. The voice acting was beautifully done as well.

A journey to the land of dreams.

Murakami makes you think, feel, taste his reality in an outstanding language. I enjoyed every minute of this performance. Also the way the spaker told the story consequently imitating nicely fitting voices to the characters of the book I loved so much.

Nice magic world

The story was ok, but the narrator was terrible! I was getting little temper tantrums whenever he did female voices. It was so frustrating and I thought I'd never finish this book.

Also not the best Murakami, as everyone claims it to be. I'm disappointed by the story.

My ears were bleeding

There are very few who can weave a story such a this. Excellent storytelling performance.

It’s a special kind of storytelling.
