Produktinformation

Joining the rich literature of runaways, Kafka On The Shore follows the solitary, self-disciplined schoolboy Kafka Tamura as he hops a bus from Tokyo to the randomly chosen town of Takamatsu, reminding himself at each step that he has to be "the world¹s toughest fifteen-year-old." He finds a secluded private library in which to spend his days--continuing his impressive self-education--and is befriended by a clerk and the mysteriously remote head librarian, Miss Saeki, whom he fantasizes may be his long-lost mother. Meanwhile, in a second, wilder narrative spiral, an elderly Tokyo man named Nakata veers from his calm routine by murdering a stranger. An unforgettable character, beautifully delineated by Murakami, Nakata can speak with cats but cannot read or write, nor explain the forces drawing him toward Takamatsu and the other characters.
To say that the fantastic elements of Kafka On The Shore are complicated and never fully resolved is not to suggest that the novel fails. Although it may not live up to Murakami's masterful The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Nakata and Kafka's fates keep the reader enthralled to the final pages, and few will complain about the loose threads at the end. --Regina Marler -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

"Listen, Kafka. What you´re experiencing now is the motif of many Greek tragdies. Man doesn´t choose fate. Fate chooses man. ...People are drawn deeper into tragedy not by their defects but by their virtues. Sophocles´ Oedipus Rex being a great example."
"The woods don´t scare me as much as they used to, either, and I´ve started to feel a kind of closeness and respect. ...That´s the important thing - follow the rules and the woods will wordlessly accept me, sharing some of their peace and beauty. Cross the line, though, and beasts of silence lay in wait to maul me with razor-sharp claws. ... Menacing branches, branches fighting for space, cleverly hidden branches, twisted, crooked branches, contemplative branches, dried-up, dying branches - the same scenery repeated again and again. Though with each repetition the forest grows a bit deeper. ...The forest doesn´t scare me anymore. It has its own rules and patterns, and once you stop being afraid you´re aware of them. Once i grasp these repetitions, I make them a part of me. ...This forest is basically a part of me, isn´t it ? ...The journey i am taking is inside me. Just like blood travels through veins, what I´m seeing is my inner self, and what seems threatening is just the echo of the fear in my own heart. The spiderweb stretched taut there is the spiderweb inside me. ..."
