About the author

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.

村上春樹のギリシャとトルコの旅について書いたロードエッセイ。この本の前に「スプートニクの恋人」を読み、ギリシャが設定だったからそれに紐づけて何か書かれてあるかと思い読んだが特にそのような記載はなかった。
ギリシャでは修道院をひたすら周り、トルコでは3週間ロードトリップをし、その記録を綴った文章。旅行記録というよりかは冒険記録的な感じだった。特にトルコでクルド人のゲリラに会い、銃と白目を向けられた話なんかはハラハラして読んだ。

旅行で普通の人が行かないようなところへ行き、世界のいろんなパーツを見たからこそ彼の小説には独特の世界観があるのだなと感じる。相変わらず私にはまだ文学作品に状況を例えた比喩はわからなかったが、それもさらに深掘っていくとより深みの出る文章なのかなと思った。
何にせよ、村上春樹の世界の見え方や、感性を知る上では興味深い一冊だった。

スペイン巡礼のことを思い出しながら前半は読んだけれど、道の整備もされていたしアルベルゲもたくさんあったし、しんどさで言うと比べ物にならないなぁと思った。冬にやる巡礼はそれはそれとしてよかった。
トルコは中盤つまんないなと思って読んだけれど、最後の方にクルド人、イラン・イラクの入り込んだ話になるにつれてだんだんと面白かった。
ギリシャもトルコも、行く機会がなくて行けなかったのでいつかロードトリップでもしてみたい。絨毯は買いたくないけど

作者的心情与身体感受有用文字微妙得表达出来，所以那种情绪不高也就很是明显了

并没有太多让人眼前一亮的信息，但毕竟是冲着村上式体验而看，单纯享受这种节奏也很惬意。

看的出来对土耳其真的很不爽哈哈

從希臘回倫敦的飛機上讀完

这一本还挺有意思的，更像游记一些

[MIL]

村上在希臘篇自言對宗教抱持懷疑的態度
對建築文物又無多大興趣
那到亞陀斯到底要看什麼呢?????
難怪一直在抱怨

在土耳其篇除了黑海沿岸一路上也是怨言不斷
尤其對伊斯坦堡評價之低，帕慕克看到應該會痛哭流涕
不過既然對建築文物興致全無，那伊斯坦堡也就只能是擁擠煩躁的第一大城了
倒是在那時敢往土東跑膽子倒是挺大的
從村上對軍人的描述來看
他似乎不知道土耳其是徵兵制的
那些質樸的農家子弟都是不願役
才會看長相就知道是尋常百姓－－本來就是啊

整本書都在抱怨，雖然村上的怨言都非常有意思
但這不是我想看的遊記啊QQ
對我想了解的亞陀斯和土耳其沒什麼幫助

1988年的土耳其氣氛比我2007年去的時候肅殺好多啊
不變的是土耳其軍警密度還是一樣高
不知道現在是不是還是這樣呢?
想來07年去的時候是中東局勢相對平靜的一段日子吧
阿富汗伊拉克大規模戰事已經結束一陣子了，正在沒完沒了的綏靖
阿拉伯國家尚未茉莉花革命
現在的局勢土東大概又很危險了

”Pho mát mặn tới méo mặt. Cho người cao huyết áp ăn chắc chết luôn"
=)))))))

Khúc này với khúc coi tranh vẽ khổ nạn của của các thánh ở Prodromos viết mắc cười ghê nơi ("nhìn mặt hông vui lắm đâu", "ây da coi bộ cũng đau đấy").

p/s p.64: - Ủa bộ anh Murakami ghét người Ý lắm hả.
- Hông đâu, chỉ có điều tui mới đi khỏi Rome á, lết tới tận đây rồi tui không muốn gặp người Ý nữa đâu (bác già chê mấy cha nội Ý ồn ào :D)."

村上春树因公参观位于希腊的东正教圣山阿索斯半岛，然后开车环土耳其。第一次知道希腊存在这么个神奇的地方，也对土耳其这个国家在地缘文化上有了个大致了解。依然是村上春树杂文随笔独有的幽默，喜欢。
