Norwegian wood
Tokyo blues
of Haruki Murakani
One of the most sensational literary successes Japanese of all time is the book most intimate, introspective Murakami, which here comes off the dreamlike and surreal that made him famous, to explore the world and in the shadow of the feelings of loneliness. Norwegian Wood is also a great novel about adolescence, the conflict between the desire to be integrated into the world of "others" to enter victorious in adult life and the essential need to be yourself, no matter what cost. Like Holden Caulfield, Toru is constantly assailed by doubts that he can make mistakes or wrong choices in his life and love, but is also stubborn and driven by a personal sense of morality and an instinctive aversion to anything that smacks of fake and manufactured. Torn between two girls, Naoko and Midori, which attract both with irresistible force, Toru can not do is decide. Or wait for the life (and death) for him to decide.
