First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First U.K. edition, first printing. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are lovesick doctors, students, ex-boyfriends, actors, bartenders, and even Kafka's Gregor Samsa, brought together to tell stories that speak to us all. In Men Without Women Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic, marked by the same wry humor and pathos that have defined his entire body of work."--Fantastic Fiction. "Haruki Murakami's Men Without Women examines what happens to characters without important women in their lives; it'll move you and confuse you and sometimes leave you with more questions than answers." Barack Obama.

Here he meets a girl, Shimamoto, who is also an only child and suffers from polio, which causes her to drag her leg as she walks. They spend most of their time together talking about their interests in life and listening to records on Shimamoto's stereo. Eventually, they join different high schools and grow apart. They are reunited again at the age of 36, Hajime now the father of two children and owner of two successful jazz bars in Aoyama, the trendy part of Tokyo. With Shimamoto never giving any detail as to her own life and appearing only at random intervals, she haunts him as a constant "What if". Despite his current situation, meeting Shimamoto again sets off a chain of events that eventually forces Hajime to choose between his wife and family or attempting to recapture the magic of the past.' [Synopsis from Wiki] ***'Following the massive complexity of "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" - Haruki Murakami's best-selling, award-winning novel - comes this deceptively simple love story, a contemporary rendering of the romance in which a boy finds and then loses a girl, only to meet her again years later. ***Bittersweet, passionate, and ultimately redemptive, "South of the Border, West of the Sun" is an intricate examination of desire, illuminating the persistent power of childhood and memory in matters of the heart.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first edition in English, in its original dustwrapper. A short novel. Of interest to collectors of the work of Haruki Murakami. Uncommon in first edition, and particularly hard to find copies in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Hardcover. Condition: New. No Jacket. Limited Edition. Brand New. First Folio Edition / First Print. Bound in blocked cloth, no dustjacket as issued. Set in Arno with Futura as display, 528p. Frontispiece, plus 6 colour illustrations including 3 double-page spreads, each with red motifs on reverse. Printed throughout in black and blue, including 41 illustrated motifs. Metallic printed endpapers. Blocked and die-cut slipcase. Teetering on the edge of a dreamworld. Haruki Murakam's novels operate in the space between reality and fantasy, sanity and insanity and Kafka on the Shore is no exception. A master of magical realism, Murakami draws the reader into his world and makes them want to stay, despite the darkness he is so adept at portraying, and this truthful yet romantic storytelling has earned him millions of devoted fans around the world. In his deeply personal new introduction to this edition, Murakami revisits the emotionally charged experience of creating 15-year-old Kafka s journey from confused runaway to enlightened sage. His vision of loneliness and philosophical awakening has been beautifully interpreted by award-winning Colombian artist Daniel Liévano, whose stunning illustrations, motifs and binding design make this an artists book and one of Folio's finest editions to date. (34/6).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First American edition. SIGNED. 213pp. Duodecimo [19.5 cm] Black paper over boards with a metallic-pink stamped title on the backstrip and a circular printed title label on the front board. With a very minor lean to the spine and light soiling to the label on the front board. No dust jacket. Signed by Haruki Murakami on the front flyleaf. A often dreamlike novel which recounts the story of Hajime ("Beginning") from his childhood as an only child in a small town in Japan to his adulthood in Tokyo. From the publisher- "Hajime has arrived at middle age with a loving family and an enviable career, yet he feels incomplete. When a childhood friend, now a beautiful woman, shows up with a secret from which she is unable to escape, the fault lines of doubt in Hajime's quotidian existence begin to give way. Rich, mysterious, and quietly dazzling, in South of the Border, West of the Sun the simple arc of one man's life becomes the exquisite literary terrain of Murakami's remarkable genius.".
