Acerca de este libro

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami explores loss and sexuality as told from a first-person perspective in the late 1960s. During this time Japanese students were protesting against the established order, which serves as a basis for the events in the novel. The original Japanese title, Noruwei no Mori is the standard Japanese translation of a Beatles song “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)”, which is often referenced in the story and a favorite song of the character Naoko. Murikamis writing has received numerous awards with notable works being The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Kafka on the Shore, and 1Q84. A film adaptation of Norwegian Wood was released in 2010.

Translated from the Japanese by Jay Rubin.
