Features: With a melancholic song titled "Norwegian Wood" at Haneda Airport, the protagonist Toru Watanabe's nostalgic memories of his 20s are revived: Yasmin, a quiet, shy, and sensitive girl, is the one he deeply falls for. Her lingering illness, gentle tenderness, and even after her passing, she remains etched in his mind at all times; Noriko, full of vitality and untamed spirit, is the lover he meets by chance. Her charming energy and bold declarations are irresistible even when he has already pledged his love to someone else. Joy and sorrow in love, like a plucked string, like a quiet melody, linger in the mind long after the book is closed; extraordinary phrases and profound insights flow like a spring, like dew congealed, leaving the reader's mouth tingling with appreciation. Pure and pure youthful emotions, a 100% love story novel, a million-selling phenomenon, Haruki Murakami's lifetime masterpiece.
