Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami (村上春樹) is a Japanese writer. His novels, essays, and short stories have been best-sellers in Japan and internationally, with his work translated into 50 languages and having sold millions of copies outside Japan. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Gunzo Prize for New Writers, the World Fantasy Award, the Tanizaki Prize, Yomiuri Prize for Literature, the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, the Noma Literary Prize, the Franz Kafka Prize, the Kiriyama Prize for Fiction, the Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Fiction, the Jerusalem Prize, and the Princess of Asturias Awards.
Growing up in Ashiya, near Kobe before moving to Tokyo to attend Waseda University, he published his first novel Hear the Wind Sing (1979) after working as the owner of a small jazz bar for seven years. His notable works include the novels Norwegian Wood (1987), The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994–95), Kafka on the Shore (2002) and 1Q84 (2009–10); the last was ranked as the best work of Japan's Heisei era (1989–2019) by the national newspaper Asahi Shimbun's survey of literary experts. His work spans genres including science fiction, fantasy, and crime fiction, and has become known for his use of magical realist elements. His official website cites Raymond Chandler, Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan as key inspirations to his work, while Murakami himself has named Kazuo Ishiguro, Cormac McCarthy and Dag Solstad as his favourite currently active writers. Murakami has also published five short story collections, including First Person Singular (2020), and non-fiction works including Underground (1997), an oral history of the Tokyo subway sarin attack, and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running (2007), a memoir about his experience as a long distance runner.
His fiction has polarized literary critics and the reading public. He has sometimes been criticised by Japan's literary establishment as un-Japanese, leading to Murakami's recalling that he was a "black sheep in the Japanese literary world". Meanwhile, Murakami has been described by Gary Fisketjon, the editor of Murakami's collection The Elephant Vanishes (1993), as a "truly extraordinary writer", while Steven Poole of The Guardian praised Murakami as "among the world's greatest living novelists" for his oeuvre.

احيانا نقلل كثيرا من أهمية التقزز و اثره البالغ في تغيير نفوسنا.. فبين ليلة و ضحاها قد تنقلب حياتك راسا"على عقب. .و لاسباب واهية جدا Screenshot-2018-11-29-12-33-57-1

ا{هل تعلم؟ الأكل أكثر أهمية مما يظن معظم الناس.
قد تمر عليك أوقات في حياتك عندما تكون قد تحصلت للتو على شيء خارق اللذة..و عندما تكون واقفا في مفترق الطرق يمكن لحياتك بأكملها أن تتغير، حسب المطعم الذي تلج إليه- الجيد أو الرديء، الأمر أشبه بأن تقع على هذه الجهة من السور، أو الجهة الأخرى.”ا

وفقا للائحة الطعام فإن سنغافورة تضم العشرات من أنواع السلطعونات، مع قرابة مائة نوع من أطباق السلطعونات

لأول مرة أعجز عن فهم مغزى قصة لهاروكي ..التقزز قريب جدا من الخوف. .و آثاره احيانا أسوأ بمراحل ..لكن هناك شيء لم يصلني وسط هذا الفيض من الكابوريا 🙉..
و ان كان اختياره لها ذكي حقا فهي طعام المزجانجية ..السعداء..ممن لديهم وقت فراغ
كنت أحب اكلها جدا زمان ..الان صارت تستغرق منى وقتا طويلا ..فصرت اتكاسل

Кефи ме как историята накара по-голямата част от класа да се закълне, че няма да яде раци ако не никога повече, то в скоро време, със сигурност. И това как е накарала госпожата да спре да яде раци за 6 месеца, въпреки че ги е обожавала. Но, за съжаление, историята не възпроизведе никакъв ефект върху мен. С удоволствие бих опитала сега един добре сготвен рак.
