We all live our lives carrying secrets we cannot disclose. 'Beguiling... Murakami is brilliant at folding the humdrum alongside the supernatural; finding the magic that's nested in life's quotidian details' Guardian When a thirty-something portrait painter is abandoned by his wife, he holes up in the mountain home of a famous artist. The days drift by, spent painting, listening to music and drinking whiskey in the evenings. But then he discovers a strange painting in the attic and unintentionally begins a strange journey of self-discovery that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt and a haunted underworld. A stunning work of imagination, Killing Commendatore is a surreal tale of love and loneliness, war and art.

*PRE-ORDER HARUKI MURAKAMI’S NEW NOVEL, THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS, NOW*A marvelous hybrid of mythology and mystery, A Wild Sheep Chase is the extraordinary literary thriller that launched Haruki Murakami’s international reputation.It begins simply enough: A twenty-something advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend, and casually appropriates the image for an insurance company’s advertisement. What he doesn’t realise is that included in the pastoral scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back, and in using this photo he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man in black who offers a menacing ultimatum: find the sheep or face dire consequences. Thus begins a surreal and elaborate quest that takes our hero from the urban haunts of Tokyo to the remote and snowy mountains of northern Japan, where he confronts not only the mythological sheep, but the confines of tradition and the demons deep within himself. Quirky and utterly captivating, A Wild Sheep Chase is Murakami at his astounding best.''A Wild Sheep Chase has the conventional hull of a thriller - a quest, a mystery, an extraordinary woman, and plenty of elegant duress - but its fantastic superstructure transforms it into something quite different...a science fiction fantasy, a romance, a metaphysical tease, or a dramatisation of philosophical ideas'' Independent

Haruki Murakami's first two novels, available for the first time in English outside Japan. With a new introduction by the author. '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. This sends him on a quest to find the exact model of pinball machine he had enjoyed playing years earlier: the three-flipper Spaceship.

Audiokniha: Exotika, milostné vztahy, nespoutaný sex, studentský život, ale také studentské bouře na konci 60 let v Tokiu, – to vše lze v románu Norské dřevo nalézt. Jeho název je zvolen podle známé písně Beatles, oblíbené skladby jedné z ústředních postav dívky Naoko. Hlavní hrdina Tóru Watanabe prožívá první roky na vysoké škole, bydlení na koleji, lásku k Naoko - sebevraždami přátel poznamenané dívce, intenzivní přátelství s živočišnou spolužačkou Midori, noční tahy Tokiem s cynickým a světáckým kamarádem Nagasawou a také smrt. Melancholický nádech celého příběhu podtrhuje sebevražda Tóruova kamaráda Kizukiho a vůbec jeho poselství „Smrt je již v našem životě skryta“. Norské dřevo nabízí směsici japonských reálií a pohledů do nejhlubšího nitra duše; zároveň přibližuje exotické prostředí, charakteristické dramatickým příběhem, mistrovsky zvládnutou minimalistickou zkratkou i nevyzpytatelností hlavních postav.

Moje sny mi to dávají najevo s naprostou jasností. Hotel U Delfína je v nich zdeformovaný k nepoznání. Je hrozně uzounký a dlouhý. Tak úzký a dlouhý, že spíš než hotel připomíná dlouhatánský zastřešený most. Tenounký most, který se táhne vesmírem od prvopočátků až na sám konec. A já do něj náležím. A kdosi tam pláče. Kdosi tam roní slzy kvůli mně. Hrdina příběhu se vrací na nejsevernější ostrov Hokkaidó, kde před lety zažil napínavé chvíle při hledání tajemné ovce. Zároveň tam přišel o svou přítelkyni, která beze stopy zmizela z hotelu U Delfína. Rozhodne se, že ji musí najít. Na místě starého, zpustlého hotýlku však stojí moderní, komfortní budova. Po zaměstnancích není ani stopy – jen uvnitř stále přebývá Ovčí mužík. Volné pokračování Murakamiho bestselleru Hon na ovci neodložíte ani na chvíli.

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.

He begins with the infamous execution of Lord Mountbatten in 1979 – for which the IRA took full responsibility – before tracing the rise of Margaret Thatcher, her response to the ‘Troubles’ in Ireland and the chain of events that culminated in the hunger strikes of 1981 and the death of 10 republican prisoners, including Bobby Sands. From that moment on Thatcher became an enemy of the IRA – and the organisation swore revenge.Opening with a brilliantly-paced prologue that introduces bomber Patrick Magee in the build up to the incident, Carroll sets out to deftly explore the intrigue before and after the assassination attempt – with the story spanning three continents, from pubs and palaces, safe houses and interrogation rooms, hotels and barracks. On one side, an elite IRA team aided by a renegade priest, US-raised funds and Libya’s Qaddafi and on the other, intelligence officers, police detectives, informers and bomb disposal officers. An exciting narrative that blends true crime with political history, this is the first major book to investigate the Brighton attack.

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.

Audiokniha: Kdo chce mít budoucnost, musí pochopit minulost. Cukuru Tazaki sám sobě odjakživa připadá trochu neslaný nemastný. Nemůže zapomenout na dobu na střední škole, kdy mu pocit výjimečnosti dodávala čtveřice osobitých přátel, z nichž každý měl přímení, které obsahovalo nějakou barvu. Po příchodu na univerzitu ho však skupinka bez vysvětlení vyloučila ze svého středu. Až po mnoha letech si v dospělosti díky své nové známosti uvědomí, jak moc ho tahle událost poznamenala. Sara s ním odmítne navázat intimnější vztah, dokud v sobě Cukuru nevyřeší staré rány a nejistoty. A tak se vydává na cestu za objasněním záhady, co se tenkrát vlastně stalo… Haruki Murakami (* 1949) Narodil se v Kjótu, ale většinu mládí strávil v Kóbe. Psát začal těsně před třicítkou, když novelu Slyš vítr zpívat poslal do literární soutěže a vyhrál literární cenu Gunzo pro začínající autory. Literární „superstar“ se ale stal až v roce 1987, kdy vydal román Norské dřevo. Je jedním z mála současných japonských autorů, který se prosadil celosvětově. V češtině zatím vyšly v nakladatelství Odeon tituly: Norské dřevo (2002), Na jih od hranic, na západ od slunce (2004), Kafka na pobřeží (2006), Afterdark (2007), Konec světa & Hard-boiled Wonderland (2008), Sputnik, má láska (2009), O čem mluvím, když mluvím o běhání (2010), Po otřesech (2010), 1Q84 (2012, 2013), Spánek (2013), Kronika ptáčka na klíček (2014), Podivná knihovna (2014), Bezbarvý Cukuru Tazaki a jeho léta putování (2015). Martin Myšička (* 1970) Vystudoval činoherní herectví na pražské DAMU a Matematicko-fyzikální fakultu v oboru subnukleární fyziky. Ještě během studií hrál např. v Národním divadle nebo ve Studiu Ypsilon. Od roku 1997 je ve stálém angažmá v Dejvickém divadle. Filmoví a televizní diváci jej znají např. ze snímků Šeptej (1996), Jedna ruka netleská (2003), Karamazovi (2008), Protektor (2009), Občanský průkaz (2010), Rozkoš (2013), Díra u Hanušovic (2014), Ztraceni v Mnichově (2015), Zločin v Polné (2016) nebo ze seriálů Čtvrtá hvězda (2014), Vraždy v kruhu (2015), Pět mrtvých psů (2016), V.

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.

Tsukuru Tazaki had four best friends at school. By chance all of their names contained a colour. The two boys were called Akamatsu, meaning ‘red pine', and Oumi, ‘blue sea', while the girls' names were Shirane, ‘white root', and Kurono, ‘black field'. Tazaki was the only last name with no colour in it. One day Tsukuru Tazaki's friends announced that they didn't want to see him, or talk to him, ever again. Since that day Tsukuru has been floating through life, unable to form intimate connections with anyone. But then he meets Sara, who tells him that the time has come to find out what happened all those years ago.

An unprecedented glimpse into the minds of two maestros. Haruki Murakami's passion for music runs deep. Before turning his hand to writing, he ran a jazz club in Tokyo, and the aesthetic and emotional power of music permeates every one of his much-loved books. Now, in Absolutely on Music, Murakami fulfills a personal dream, sitting down with his friend, acclaimed conductor Seiji Ozawa, to talk about their shared interest. They discuss everything from Brahms to Beethoven, from Leonard Bernstein to Glenn Gould, from record collecting to pop-up orchestras, and much more. Haruki Murakami (Author) Haruki Murakami is the author of many novels as well as short stories and non-fiction.

In 2011, an elite group of US Navy SEALS stormed an enclosure in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad and killed Osama bin Laden, the man the United States had begun chasing before the devastating attacks of 9/11. The news did much to boost President Obama's first term and played a major part in his reelection victory of the following year. But much of the story of that night, as presented to the world, was incomplete, or a lie. The evidence of what actually went on remains hidden. At the same time, the full story of the United States' involvement in the Syrian civil war has been kept behind a diplomatic curtain, concealed by doublespeak. It is a policy of obfuscation that has compelled the White House to turn a blind eye to Turkey's involvement in supporting ISIS and its predecessors in Syria. This investigation, which began as a series of essays in the London Review of Books, has ignited a firestorm of controversy in the world media. In his introduction, Hersh asks what will be the legacy of Obama's time in office. Was it an era of "change we can believe in" or a season of lies and compromises that continued George W. Bush's misconceived War on Terror?How did he lose the confidence of the general in charge of America's forces who acted in direct contradiction to the White House? What else do we not know?
