Ryu Murakami's prose is dark and provocative. In his works, he exposes the problems of modern Japan and shows its dark sides. For his creative work, Ryu Murakami received one of the most prestigious literary awards in his country –...
the Akutagawa Prize.
From 1969 to 1975, sixty-eight infants were found in storage rooms in Japan. Only two of them survived – Hashi and Kiku. Thirty hours on the brink of death changed them forever.
Hashi, with obsessive determination, will search for the sound he heard with Kiku in a psychiatric hospital. The search will lead him to the fame of a pop idol and… madness. Kiku, on the other hand, will be obsessed with the idea of finding datura – a substance with which he will destroy Tokyo and take revenge on everyone for his birth in a storage room.
The white cat Michi is the mascot of the series. Along with you, he will embark on a literary journey through the countries of Asia: from enchanting Japan to mysterious Taiwan. Michi will be waiting for you on the pages of the book. Together with him, you will share the impressions of what you read. As a souvenir from the journey, Michi will give a collectible bookmark.
