La Muerte del Comendador Libro 1 / Killing Commendatore Book 1
Haruki Murakami
(Author)
Description
The epic new novel from the internationally acclaimed and best-selling author of 1Q84 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 previously unseen painting in the attic, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances. 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 valley, 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. A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art-as well as a loving homage to The Great Gatsby-Killing Commendatore is a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest writers.

About the Author
Haruki Murakami (Kioto, 1949) es uno de los pocos autores japoneses que han dado el salto de escritor de prestigio a autor con grandes ventas en todo el mundo. Ha recibido numerosos premios, entre ellos el Noma, el Tanizaki, el Yomiuri, el Franz Kafka o el Jerusalem Prize, y su nombre suena reiteradamente como candidato al Nobel de Literatura. En España, ha merecido la Orden de las Artes y las Letras, concedida por el Gobierno español, y el Premio Internacional Cataluña 2011. Tusquets Editores ha publicado doce de sus novelas --entre ellas la aclamada Tokio blues. Norwegian Wood y Los años de peregrinación del chico sin color--, las personalísimas obras De qué hablo cuando hablo de correr y Underground, así como cuatro volúmenes de relatos: Sauce ciego, mujer dormida, Después del terremoto, Hombres sin mujeres y El elefante desaparece. HARUKI MURAKAMI was born in Kyoto in 1949 and now lives near Tokyo. His work has been translated into more than fifty languages, and one of the most recent of his many international honors is the Cino Del Duca World Prize, whose previous recipients include Jorge Luis Borges, Ismail Kadare, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Joyce Carol Oates.
