About This Book
To today’s youth opening the pages for the first time, and to yesterday’s youth who carry a passage of this book in long-held memory, Haruki Murakami’s landmark work, Norwegian Wood, speaks with a consistent resonance to the sensitive and delicate emotions of youth, earning its place as an enduring must-read. Translated and introduced in more than 36 countries, it sparked a global Haruki boom and established the author’s literary achievements worldwide. Following its release in the Minumsa World Literature Collection, it now appears as a standalone edition.
Norwegian Wood is like a finely drawn sketch, vividly portraying nearly every facet of human experience: alienation and connection, solitude and love, past and memory, life and death. Set in late 1960s Japan, a period marked by dazzling postwar economic growth led by the older generation alongside the counterculture movement of the youth, the novel follows the young Watanabe’s perspective to confront directly the central questions of life: love and death.
What it means for one person to love another, to live through an era together, and the words inscribed in this story reach readers across generations, reviving our own youth, our loves, our memories, and those fleeting moments. The pain of youth in 1960s Japan resonates with readers today, and the universality and timelessness of Murakami’s literature make this work a classic for the present day, a meeting to anticipate with excitement.
