O romance que confirmou Haruki Murakami como um dos mais talentosos autores da ficção contemporânea.Um avião prepara-se para aterrar no aeroporto de Frankfurt. Aos ouvidos de TÅru Watanabe chegam os acordes de «Norwegian Wood», a famosa canção dos Beatles. O mítico tema dos Beatles tem o condão de transportar este executivo de 38 anos aos tempos da juventude, vividos na turbulenta Tóquio em finais dos anos sessenta.Saído da casa dos pais com dezoito anos e deixando para trás a pacatez de província e o velho Toyota Corolla da família, TÅru chega à capital japonesa a fim de estudar teatro na universidade instalando-se uma residência estudantil só para rapazes. Filho único e solitário por natureza, passa o tempo a ler O Grande Gatsby e a estudar atentamente os colegas e as pessoas que o rodeiam. Um belo dia, o narrador reencontra um rosto de passado: Naoko, antiga namorada do seu grande amigo de adolescência, Kizuki, antes de este cometer suicídio na flor da idade, depois de vencer um jogo de snooker. Marcados por essa tragédia em comum, os dois começam a dar longos passeios e constroem uma relação delicada na qual a fragilidade psicológica de Naoko se torna cada vez mais evidente culminando com o seu internamento na casa de repouso, onde conhecem Reiko, uma mulher madura com rugas a condizer e um passado trágico. Por esses dias, Watanabe trava ainda conhecimento com Midori: estudante de teatro como ele, símbolo da mulher moderna, lutadora... e dona de uma livraria à moda antiga. Isto sem esquecer a figura impagável de Facho, colega de quarto que faz ginástica matinal ao som do hino e se masturba a olhar para a Ponte de São Francisco. Qual das figuras femininas conquistará o coração do protagonista, que continua a bater desalmadamente?Norwegian Wood tem sido comparado ao romance À Espera no Centeio, de J.D. Salinger.

Read the haunting love story that turned Murakami into a literary superstar. 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. 'Evocative, entertaining, sexy and funny; but then Murakami is one of the best writers around' Time Out'Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility' Guardian'This book is undeniably hip, full of student uprisings, free love, booze and 1960s pop, it's also genuinely emotionally engaging, and describes the highs of adolescence as well as the lows' Independent on Sunday Digital Content>E-books>Romance>Contemporary Romance>Contemporary Romance, CASA DAS LETRAS Digital >16<
