adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Zoals elke Murakami ook nu weer een prachtig verhaal over mensen die je graag zou kennen en waar je graag mee bevriend zou zijn. Heb meteen het liedje van de Beatles waar de titel naar verwijst gedownload. ( )Norwegian Wood - by Haruki Murakami review by Gabriel Norwegian Wood is a novel about youth, love, and death, and the pain that comes from all three. It’s unusual amongst Murakami’s work in that it is firmly grounded in reality, absent of his signature style of magic realism. Nonetheless, the author is still instantly recognisable due to his distinctive first person narration and addictive readability. Norwegian Wood is a tragedy. The character’s flaws and fates are apparent to the reader, and the conclusion inevitable. Like all great tragedies, it draws you in despite the certain outcome. It’s a testament to Murakami’s skill as a writer that he can create such a sad story and address serious themes while maintaining a compelling narrative. I read the last hundred pages late into the night, without moving, hoping that events would not unfold as foreshadowed, sharing the character’s heartbreak when they did. Which I hope is enough of a recommendation for anyone, really. For a longer reveiw, please go to: http://writeronwriter.wordpress.com/2... Mientras aterriza en un aeropuerto, Toru Watanabe escucha una vieja canción que le hace retroceder a su juventud, al turbulento Tokio de los años sesenta. Recuerda entonces con melancolía a la misteriosa Naoko, la novia de su mejor amigo de la adolescencia. El suicidio de éste les distanció durante un año, hasta que se reencontraron e iniciaron una relación íntima. La aparición de otra mujer lleva a Toru a experimentar el deslumbramiento y el desengaño. De roman gaat over een groepje studenten in Tokio, waarvan eerst de beste vriend van de verteller en vervolgens zijn voormalige vriendin, die inmiddels vriendin van verteller is geworden, voor zelfdoding kiezen. Het verhaal kabbelt rustgevend voort zonder dat het saai wordt. Ook in de liefde en sex is er sprake van weinig passie. Uiteindelijk kiest verteller voor zijn volgende vriendin maar dan is er al heel wat water door de zee gestroomd. De stijl komt gestileerd over, eigenlijk zoals je verwacht van een Japanse tuin, maar is wel bijzonder mooi en eigentijds en soms ook erg Europees aandoend. Songtekst van het Beatles nummer 'Norwegian wood' (= Knowing she would ?) door John Lennon I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me... She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood? She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere, So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair. I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine. We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed" She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh. I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood. Muy bueno. Lo primero que leo de Murakami y realmente me ha abierto las puertas a todo un nuevo panorama de la mano de sus trabajos. Siento que tanto en este como en sus otros libros hay una gran "unidad". El estilo, las problemáticas, los planteos que realiza... es fácil reconocer un texto de él y me gusta que un autor tenga una personalidad bien marcada. Un libro muy recomendable. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
Norwegian Wood is a simple coming-of-age tale, primarily set in 1969-70, when the author was attending university. The political upheavals and student strikes of the period form the novel's backdrop. But the focus here is the young Watanabe's love affairs, and the pain and pleasure and attendant losses of growing up. The collapse of a romance (and this is one among many!) leaves him in a metaphysical shambles:
I read Naoko's letter again and again, and each time I read it I would be filled with the same unbearable sadness I used to feel whenever Naoko stared into my eyes. I had no way to deal with it, no place I could take it to or hide it away. Like the wind passing over my body, it had neither shape nor weight, nor could I wrap myself in it.This account of a young man's sentimental education sometimes reads like a cross between Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and Stephen Vizinczey's In Praise of Older Women. It is less complex and perhaps ultimately less satisfying than Murakami's other, more allegorical work. Still, Norwegian Wood captures the huge expectation of youth--and of this particular time in history--for the future and for the place of love in it. It is also a work saturated with sadness, an emotion that can sometimes cripple a novel but which here merely underscores its youthful poignancy. --Mark Thwaite
