In Killing Commendatore, a thirty-something portrait painter in Tokyo is abandoned by his wife and finds himself holed up in the mountain home of a famous artist, Tomohiko Amada. When he discovers a strange painting in the attic, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumtances.To close it, he must complete a journey that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a two-foot-high physical manifestation of an idea, a dapper businessman who lives across the volley, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt during World War II in Vienna, a pit in the woods behind the artist's home, and an underworld haunted by Double Metaphors.

Biographie de Haruki Murakami

In 1978, Haruki Murakami was 29 and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a nel came to him suddenly while watching ã'baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wring, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, which turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon.
His books became blstsellers, have been translated in more than so langues, and he has received m honours, including the Fr a Kafka Prize. His works include non-ftçtion, such as What ITalk About When ITalkAbout Running and Absolutely on Music, short story collections, like Men Without Women, and the masterful novels The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1084 and Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage.
He is one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.
