具體描述
"A stunning work of art," the New York Observer wrote of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, "that bears no comparisons," and this is also true of this magnificent new novel, which is every bit as ambitious, expansive and bewitching. A tour-de-force of metaphysical reality, Kafka on the Shore is powered by two remarkable characters. At fifteen, Kafka Tamura runs away from home, either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister. And the aging Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction, finds his highly simplified life suddenly upset. Their odyssey, as mysterious to us as it is to them, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle. Yet this, like everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
用戶評價
##相比林少華的譯本，這本英譯本更像偵探小說瞭，全當拓展詞匯量讀瞭/英譯本的質量其實很高，但花時間學日語讀原版好像更值得做一些 555
評分##聖誕節在傢一口氣把它看完，讀到最後一頁莫名的想哭。好久沒有一本書帶給我這樣的感受。請珍惜生活。

評分##這個英文版還是很好讀的。不爽的是國內買居然更便宜！！
評分##始讀於十月虛無的小長假，終於趕在鼕日到來前看完，村上君用雙綫敘事的結構，創造齣一個屬於隱喻的世界，再佐以形形色色的人，展開緩緩敘述。無論是“責任始自夢想”的決絕，抑或是“無須思考且聽風吟”的躲避，甚至是“成為世界一部分”的勇氣，描摹齣世界的無理與荒謬。好在最後的結尾頗為溫情，尚有一種超脫的希望。遙想我初閱此書時還不及田村卡夫卡君的年紀，等恍惚明白時，又早已喪失成為世界toughest少年的機會，可於字裏行間之中，還能得到些許慰藉，使我頗為自足，仿佛如海邊拾貝的少年，一眼望去，總也看不見盡頭。

評分##用英文讀村上春樹是一個祛魅的過程，沒有瞭那些刻意的排版，更能確認他的風格是在故事脈絡裏。前半部分我篤定nakata是卡夫卡的幻影，中間我篤定卡夫卡是nakata的幻影，看到最後放棄瞭對所謂故事結局的推斷遊戲。卡夫卡和nakata是被什麼聯係在一起？是戰爭、自然、夢境、隱喻、命運中的痛楚。一部分的自己是落失的，而他們也並沒有相遇，隻是或明或暗地孤立存在著，這樣或許也是一種完全。為什麼父親以Johnnie Walker的形象齣現？肯德基上校和叫羊男的鳥人代錶什麼？還有很多人物和故事綫沒能被我justify，但是或許這纔是這個故事想要的態度。像那滴血浸潤卡夫卡的心，像故事結尾那顆雨裏的淚。融入故事本身，成為它的一部分。當你走過瞭暴風，盡管什麼也沒有得到，但你已經不是同一個人瞭，我們都去到新世界。
