1Q84 (Volume 2) - Haruki Murakami


Alice ran the White Rabbit into the hole and went to Wonderland. For who ran Tengo? For Fukaeri or her book - "the Air chrysalis." I went to the year 1Q84.
second volume of the trilogy, " 1Q84 " kidnapped more than the first. Usually the book Murakami flowing slowly, feelings and emotions raised a hero. Here, while we race through the eyes of page after page to find out what has happened stand for a moment. And no wonder. We've got Aomame, which is a killer and does his job perfectly, and believe me, do not kill an ordinary gun. Tengo is also a writer before the debut, which improved the novel Fukaeri seventeen, so she won a literary contest and was a bestseller. In this novel, the sky, there are two moons, amazing things are happening straight from a fairy tale. Except that ... I
Aomame, and Tengo also see the two moons of its skies, the smaller and larger. The reality is mixed with a book, book with reality. But who said that what we see around us is true? Who has any, the right to stick to the world-the evidence with the word "truth"?

I read many a book, Murakami and hand on heart, I must confess that none was as good as "1Q84." And I mean both volumes, though the second seems to catch even more. Delicate and misty world what makes Murakami, charge the reader. There is everything: fantasy, and sensation, and crime, and erotica, and even historical topics. World sects are mixed with extraterrestrial world, Murakami repeals a sliver of the mystery before us. But does this very, very slowly.

It is also worth mentioning the issue of the same book. For years, I praise myself it seems like MUSE Murakami's prose. Beautiful and thoughtful cover, a phenomenal idea of \u200b\u200badding them quotations from the book, and vertical writing the author's name and the paper itself make it until you want to keep this book in my hands. With all this crept into the small but significant downside. From the rear, on the book jacket, in the description of the novel, read no description, and summary. Moreover, a summary of two the last chapters of "1Q84 - 2". In my opinion, something is unacceptable, because anyone who envy the back cover, knows the end of the novel. And yet, not what we mean.

In summary, all of them recommend this book. Her magic mixed with reality will surely delight readers of many generations. In our culture figures such as White Rabbit, Hatter and Cheshire Cat are almost real. There are so long and were created with so much skill that they can not be separated from our culture. Reading Murakami's novel, I can not help feeling that, hitting the Japanese version of Wonderland. Although more logical, and has some symbols that seem almost palpable. Air chrysalis, Little People, and ... two moons. I do not think a reader of "1Q84" looked at the sky, to make sure it sees as its moons.
