kafka on the shore haruki murakami

Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. 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. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami''s new novel is at once a classic tale of quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.

From the award-winning, bestselling author of Cod--the irresistible story of the science, history, art, and culture of the least efficient way to catch a fish. Fly fishing, historian Mark Kurlansky has found, is a battle of wits, fly fisher vs. fish--and the fly fisher does not always (or often) win. The targets--salmon, trout, and char--are highly intelligent, wily, strong, and athletic animals. The allure, Kurlansky finds, is that fly fishing makes catching a fish as difficult as possible. There is an art, too, in the crafting of flies. Beautiful and intricate, some are made with more than two dozen pieces of feather and fur from exotic animals. The cast as well is a matter of grace and rhythm, with different casts and rods yielding varying results. Kurlansky is known for his deep dives into the history of specific subjects, from cod to oysters to milk. But he spent his boyhood days on the shore of a shallow pond. Here, where tiny fish weaved under a rocky waterfall, he first tied string to a branch, dangled a worm into the water, and unleashed his passion for fishing. Since then, a lifelong love of the sport has led him around the world to many countries, coasts, and rivers--from the wilds of Alaska to Basque country, from the Catskills in New York to Oregon''s Columbia River, from Ireland and Norway to Russia and Japan. And, in true Kurlansky fashion, he absorbed every fact, detail, and anecdote along the way. The Unreasonable Virtue of Fly Fishing marries Kurlansky''s signature wide-ranging reach with a subject that has captivated him for a lifetime--combining history, craft, and personal memoir to show readers, devotees of the sport or not, the necessity of experiencing nature’s balm first-hand.

Switzerland is home to illustrious soul-searchers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) and Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961). The small country in the heart of Europe has a density of historic and current hotspots of psychiatry and psychoanalysis like hardly any other place in the world. From Geneva to Zurich, from Kreuzlingen, on the shore of the Lake Constance in the north, to Monte Verità near Ascona, close to the Italian border in the south, a dense network stretches across the map. Switzerland as a psycho-geographic space thus became a hub of psychoanalysis with a global reach.Coinciding with C.G. Jung''s 150th birthday, this book for the first time contextualises his thought and influence with the overall history of psychoanalysis in Switzerland. Besides Jung, its protagonists include, among other, Ludwig Binswanger, pioneer of existential psychology; Jean Piaget, best-known for his research of child development; Goldy and Paul Parin-Matthèy and Fritz Morgenthaler, co-founders of the Zurich School of Ethno-psychoanalysis; and Judith le Soldat with her radical feminist Nimbus theory.Twelve thematic essays by distinguished authors are supplemented and put into perspective by key historical texts and art works, as well as visual material and documents, many of them from archives that have so far been virtually inaccessible.

Audiokniha: Komorní milostný příběh, v němž hraje roli tajemství a osudovost, příběh ztrácení a nalézání, návratů k téže ženě, dilema muže, který má vše, o čem dřív mohl jen snít, a přesto tápe v domnění, že skutečnost je jiná, než jak se jemu či nám jeví… Milostný trojúhelník, v jehož středu sledujeme nejprve chlapce jménem Hadžime, trpícího tím, že je jedináček, později dospělého muže, který si vzal dívku ze zámožné rodiny a má s ní dvě děti, Hadžimeho, jenž znovu potkává svou lásku z dětství, tajemnou Šimamoto. Potkává i ztrácí, nalézá, aby ztratil. V neskutečné, mystické noci, která děj graduje až k šílenství, možná vytušíme odpověď na otázku, co se událo: s námi či s postavou audioknihy? Dílo nejvýznamnějšího japonského spisovatele současnosti, v němž autor až obsesivně „operuje“ se svými nejvnitřnějšími, palčivými tématy. Murakamiho nejcitlivější román poprvé jako audiokniha v češtině! „Hadžime je muž, který toho má z hlediska osudových vztahů více za sebou než před sebou, a především má co ztratit. Hraje o svou poslední šanci a čtenáři nezbývá, než mu držet palce.“ © Richard Olehla – 23. 9. 2004 „Možná, že jim připadala až moc nad věcí a sebevědomá. Možná, že se některým zdála být dokonce studená a pyšná. Já ale cítil, že se za touhle její maskou ve skutečnosti skrývá člověk se srdcem na dlani, který by snadno mohl být zraněn. Člověk, který, podobně jako malé děti při hře na schovávanou, zároveň netrpělivě čeká, kdy už ho konečně někdo objeví. Začal jsem to tušit poté, co jsem si jednou pořádně uvědomil, jak mluví a jak se dívá.“ – ukázka z knihy Haruki Murakami: Na jih od hranic, na západ od slunce | Překlad Tomáš Jurkovič | Čte Jan Zadražil | Režie Kateřina Višinská | Zvuk a střih Kate Hamsíková | Mastering Štěpán Škoch | Hudba Štěpán Škoch a Kate Hamsíková | Natočeno ve studiu All Senses Production s. r. o. | Grafiku podle knižní obálky upravila Jana Lhotáková | Vydala Euromedia Group, a. s. – Témbr, říjnu 2025. | Natočeno podle knihy: Haruki Murakami: Na jih od hranic, na západ od slunce, KOKKJÓ NO MINAMI, TAIJÓ NO NIŠI, Copyright © 1992 by Haruki Murakami, Překlad © Tomáš Jurkovič, 2004, Vydala Euromedia Group, k. s. – Odeon, 2014

Od japonského vydání posledního románu Komturova smrt uběhly už více než čtyři roky. Haruki Murakami nyní přichází s novou sbírkou povídek, kterou identifikuje už názvem: První osoba jednotného čísla. Pro autora bylo dlouho typické, že psal v první osobě. Třetí vyprávěcí osobu začal používat až v pozdních dílech. Nejen tímto prvkem, ale i stylem a tématy se teď vrací ke kořenům. A také bilancuje. Máme tu osm textů, které si můžeme labužnicky vychutnat. Murakami píše o studentském životě v 60. letech minulého století, hovoří o lásce k jazzu nebo o obdivu ke skupině Beatles; ostatně spisovatel už dvě starší povídky nazval podle jejich písní: Drive My Car a Yesterday. V povídkách se dostávají ke slovu náhodná i záhadná setkání, autor popustí uzdu fantazii: slavný jazzový saxofonista Charlie Parker podle něj nezemřel roku 1955, ale dožil se 60. let. V úsměvné povídce Zpověď opice z Šinagawy se vypravěč na svých cestách dostane do malého hotýlku, kde narazí na mluvícího opičáka, který má rád hudbu Antona Brucknera a který mu ochotně umyje záda. Haruki Murakami v povídkovém souboru také bilancuje. Říká, že na přibývajících letech není zvláštní to, že člověk sám stárne. Překvapivé je spíš to, jak hrozně zestárli lidé z jeho generace, obzvláště ženy… Nečekejte poselství, vysvětlení nebo rozuzlení, ba ani překvapivé pointy ne. Povídky mají jinou schopnost – zůstanou vám v hlavě nadlouho. Možná už se jich nezbavíte nikdy.

The international literary icon opens his eclectic closet: Here are photographs of Murakami's extensive and personal T-shirt collection, accompanied by essays that reveal a side of the writer rarely seen by the public. Haruki Murakami's books have galvanized millions around the world. Many of his fans know about his 10,000-vinyl-record collection, and his obsession with running, but few have heard about a more intimate, and perhaps more unique, passion: his T-shirt-collecting habit. In Murakami T, the famously reclusive novelist shows us his T-shirts - including gems found in bookshops, charity shops and record stores - from those featuring whisky, animals, cars and superheroes, to souvenirs of marathons and a Beach Boys concert in Honolulu, to the shirt that inspired the beloved short story 'Tony Takitani'. Accompanied by short, frank essays that have been translated into English for the first time, these photographs reveal much about Murakami's multifaceted and wonderfully eccentric persona.

Discover Haruki Murakami''s first two novels.''If you''re the sort of guy who raids the refrigerators of silent kitchens at three o''clock in the morning, you can only write accordingly. That''s who I am.'' Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 are Haruki Murakami''s earliest novels. They follow the fortunes of the narrator and his friend, known only by his nickname, the Rat. In Hear the Wind Sing the narrator is home from college on his summer break. He spends his time drinking beer and smoking in J''s Bar with the Rat, listening to the radio, thinking about writing and the women he has slept with, and pursuing a relationship with a girl with nine fingers. Three years later, in Pinball, 1973, he has moved to Tokyo to work as a translator and live with indistinguishable twin girls, but the Rat has remained behind, despite his efforts to leave both the town and his girlfriend. The narrator finds himself haunted by memories of his own doomed relationship but also, more bizarrely, by his short-lived obsession with playing pinball in J''s Bar.

Audiokniha: Táto kniha je nezvyčajným súborom esejí o behaní na dlhé trate a zároveň spisovateľovým denníkom každodennej štvormesačnej prípravy na Newyorský maratón. Haruki Murakami behá už dvadsaťpäť rokov, každý deň desať kilometrov. Hovorí tu o fyzickej i psychickej bolesti, o starnutí, aj o tom, na čo myslí, keď behá a púšťa si pritom hudbu. Dnešný svet praje najmä silným osobnostiam a aj v literárnom svete sa uchytia cieľavedomí spisovatelia-manažéri v dobrej kondícii, a taký je aj Murakami.
