"Brought to you by Penguin. Katagiri found a giant frog waiting for him in his apartment. It was powerfully built, standing over six feet tall on its hind legs. A skinny little man no more than five foot three, Katagiri was overwhelmed by the frog's imposing bulk. ‘Call me “Frog,”’ said the frog in a clear, strong voice. Katagiri stood rooted in the doorway, unable to speak. ‘Don't be afraid. I'm not here to hurt you. Just come and close the door. Please.’ Briefcase in his right hand, grocery bag with fresh vegetables and canned salmon cradled in his left arm, Katagiri didn't dare move. ‘Please, Mr. Katagiri, hurry and close the door, and take off your shoes.’ Fully illustrated and beautifully designed, this special edition of Murakami’s celebrated short story sees the bewildered Katagiri find meaning in his humdrum life through joining forces with Frog in an effort to save Tokyo from an existential threat. ‘No other author mixes domestic, fantastic and esoteric elements into such weirdly bewitching shades’ Financial Times ‘A master storyteller’ Sunday Times © Haruki Murakami 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025"

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
"Brought to you by Penguin. Murakami's surreal, mind-bending masterpiece: a sci-fi pastiche and a Utopian fantasy novel ingeniously woven together. A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan. Unicorn skulls and voracious librarians. John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story, post-modern manifesto. All this rolled into one rip-roaring novel, End of the World and Hard-boiled Wonderland is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami’s international following. Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy. 'Here is abundant imagination at play.' Sunday Times ‘A remarkable writer...he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head’ Jay McInerney ‘His fantasies, with their easy reference to western pulp fiction and music, retain a beauty of the mind’ Guardian WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR © Haruki Murakami 2001 (P) Penguin Audio 2025"

The City and Its Uncertain Walls
"Brought to you by Penguin. The breathtaking new novel about the boundaries between worlds and individuals, from the internationally bestselling author of 1Q84. When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own. When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library – a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he’s willing to lose. A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times. 'It’s safe to say that there’s no one like Murakami' Literary Review 'No other author mixes domestic, fantastic and esoteric elements into such weirdly bewitching shades' Financial Times 'Murakami is a master storyteller and he knows how to keep us hooked' Sunday Times © Haruki Murakami 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024"

"Roman yazmak yüreğinizdeki karanlığın dibine dek inmektir. Yalnız yapılan bir iş olduğunu söylemek sıradan bir ifade olur ama roman yazmak –özellikle de uzun bir roman yazmak- gerçekten de yalnız yapılan bir iştir. Bazen derin bir kuyunun dibinde tek başıma oturuyormuşum gibi bir hisse kapılırım. Ne kimse yardım edebilir bana, ne de biri çıkıp 'Bugün iyi iş çıkardın' diyerek sırtımı sıvazlar. Neticede ortaya koyduğum eser birileri tarafından (elbette iyi olmuşsa) övülebilir ama kimse roman yazma işinin kendisini değerlendirmez. Bu, yazarın tek başına sessizce sırtlanacağı bir yüktür. Yaşayan en büyük edebiyatçılardan biri olan Haruki Murakami'den bir meslek olarak 'yazarlık'... Tüm yazma heveslilerine ilham verecek tespitlerle dolu, 'yazma dersleri' olarak da okunabilecek bir metin."

[Turkish] - Birinci Tekil Şahıs
"Belki de bir anlamda gerçek aşktı bu. Ya da gerçek yalnızlık… Hepimiz öyle ya da böyle maske takarak yaşıyoruz. Bu vahşi dünyada maske takmadan yaşanamaz çünkü. Kötü ruhların maskesinin altında meleklerin gerçek yüzü, meleklerin maskesinin altında kötü ruhların gerçek yüzü vardır. Sadece biri olması mümkün değildir. Birinci Tekil Şahıs'ta sıra dışı kahramanların sıra dışı öykülerini anlatıyor bize Haruki Murakami. Ölüm ve aşk üzerine şiirler yazan bir genç kız, kadınlara evet kadınlara âşık olan ve onların isimlerini çalan bir maymun, çok çirkin ama tuhaf bir çekim gücüne sahip bir kadın, uydurduğu bir yazıyla bir caz sanatçısının yeniden 'doğmasını' hatta albüm yayınlamasını sağlayan bir genç adam… Murakami'nin yazmak ve koşmak dışındaki üçüncü büyük aşkı beyzbol da var bu öykü seçkisinde. Ve yazarın sizi gülümsetecek, şaşırtacak, beyzbol üzerine yazdığı muzip şiirler de…"

"يواصل «تورو أوكادا» رحلته السريالية للبحث عن زوجته وقطتها. وبعد فترةٍ وجيزة، يكتشف مكان زوجته، لكن لا تتوقف رحلته للبحث عن ذاته في ذلك العالم الخيالي الموازي. تنتهي الرواية نهاية بوليسية كما بدأت، وتتركنا في حالة ذهول. ليس في مواجهة تساؤلات زمن العولمة الأكثر إلحاحًا، وليس بالمأزق الوجودي الذي تواجهه البشرية الذي حاول الكاتب تصويره، بل بالمتاهة التي يعيشها الإنسان الفرد وحيدًا في عزلة الوجود. إنها حكاية تشبه سقوط أحجار الدومينو، لكن ما هو الحجر الأول الذي سقط؟ هل هو اختفاء القط أم زوجته؟ أم هي المرأة التي اتصلت بـ«تورو» وأرادت التحدث معه لعشر دقائقٍ فقط؟ أم يعود الأمر إلى ما هو أقدم من ذلك بكثير، لدرجة أنه يعود لزمن الحرب العالمية واحتلال اليابان لاقليم منشوريا الصيني؟! «يوميات طائر الزنبرك 3» هي خاتمة ثلاثية روائية خيالية بوليسية للروائي الياباني «هاروكي موراكامي». يرمز طائر الزنبرك إلى مفاهيم متعددة مثل استكشاف الذات والشفاء وفكرة الهوية. كما تجمع موضوعات الرواية التقاليد الثقافية اليابانية الكلاسيكية مع القيم الغربية المعاصرة للاستقلال والثقافة الشعبية. يستكشف موراكامي من خلالها الطبيعة البشرية، ويفترض أن العدمية والأمل، والنور والظلام، والألم والفرح كلهم متشابكين. وقد حصلت الرواية على جائزة يوميوري الأدبية، وظهرت في قائمة التلغراف لعام 2014 لأعظم عشر روايات آسيوية على الإطلاق. استمع الآن."

Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love
"Brought to you by Penguin. The international literary icon opens his eclectic closet: Here are photographs of Murakami's extensive and personal T-shirt collection, accompanied by essays that reveal a side of the writer rarely seen by the public. Haruki Murakami's books have galvanized millions around the world. Many of his fans know about his 10,000-vinyl-record collection, and his obsession with running, but few have heard about a more intimate, and perhaps more unique, passion: his T-shirt-collecting habit. In Murakami T, the famously reclusive novelist shows us his T-shirts - including gems found in bookshops, charity shops and record stores - from those featuring whisky, animals, cars and superheroes, to souvenirs of marathons and a Beach Boys concert in Honolulu, to the shirt that inspired the beloved short story 'Tony Takitani'. Accompanied by short, frank essays that have been translated into English for the first time, these photographs reveal much about Murakami's multifaceted and wonderfully eccentric persona. © Haruki Murakami 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021"
