With the same deadpan mania and genius for dislocation that he brought to his internationally acclaimed novels A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Haruki Murakami makes this collection of stories a determined assault on the normal.

The 24 stories that make up Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman generously express the incomparable Haruki Murakami’s mastery of the form. Here are animated crows, a criminal monkey, and an ice man, as well as the dreams that shape us and the things for which we might wish.

In Men Without Women, Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic, marked by the same wry humor and pathos that have defined his entire body of work.

The six stories in Haruki Murakami’s mesmerizing collection are set at the time of the catastrophic 1995 Kobe earthquake, when Japan became brutally aware of the fragility of its daily existence.

Stefan Zweig: Sternstunden der Menschheit. Zweigs Sternstunden taugen nicht als Rekordverzeichnis nach dem Motto: die Schönste, der Stärkste, der oder die Erfolgreichste. Vielmehr schildern sie Extremsituationen des Menschlichen. Erfolg und Scheitern, Glückseligkeit und Verzweiflung, geben sich dabei die Hand. Die Sternstunden folgen auch nicht akribisch den Tatsachen, sondern konzentrieren sich auf den vom Schicksal gepackten, erhobenen und dann wieder niedergeschmetterten Menschen. Die Sternstunde, -minute oder -sekunde beschreibt die Bewährung eines Menschen, der seinem Schicksal unentrinnbar begegnet.
