Description

Erdogan faces criticism: Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is facing mounting criticism from opposition figures over the state's response. During a visit to Hatay - one of the hardest-hit regions - President Erdogan insisted it was "not possible to be prepared for a disaster this big" In 1999, when a tremor of similar magnitude hit the heavily populated eastern Marmara Sea region near Istanbul, it killed more than 17,000. Meraviglioso racconto che adotta la forte metafora del terremoto per sconfinare in un limbo di consapevolezza. All God's Children Can Dance is brilliantly written. Murakami deceives with what initially appears to be a simple story, and then we venture with Yoshiya deeper into the underbelly of his life until he finds his "God." Super-Frog Saves Tokyo" was a real misunderstanding for me and it really was the foggiest story from all the six. I even can't describe it (sorry!)

All God’s Children Can Dance” is a weird story, which combines religion, mother-son relationship (with some forbidden stuff), strange sexuality and desperate search of father. I'm not sure what I feel about this story. Quella sera, nel suo grande letto immacolato, Satsuki pianse. Riconobbe il fatto che si stava dolcemente avviando verso la morte. Riconobbe di avere una pietra bianca e dura dentro il suo corpo. Riconobbe che da qualche parte nel buio si nascondeva un serpente verde tutto ricoperto di squame. Pensò al bambino che non era mai nato. Lei se n'era liberata e l'aveva gettato in un pozzo senza fine. E aveva continuato a odiare un uomo per trent'anni. Gli aveva augurato di morire fra atroci dolori. Per quello nel fondo del cuore aveva sperato persino in un terremoto. In un certo senso, si disse, sono stata io a provocare quel terremoto. Lui ha trasformato il mio cuore e il mio corpo in una pietra. Le scimmie color cenere in quella montagna lontana l'avevano guardata in silenzio. In un certo senso vivere e morire si equivalgono, dottoressa. Nach dem Beben ist ein bewundernswert konstruiertes Buch. (...) Denn Murakamis Erzählungen beunruhigen nicht, wie es beispielsweise die von Kafka tun, auch wenn sie mitunter ganz kafkaesk beginnen (.....) Sie erschüttern nicht wie das Erdbeben, auf das sie sich beziehen, sondern umfangen den Leser leicht und sicher, so dass er sich in ihnen rasch wohl zu fühlen beginnt." - Leopold Federmair, Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Success!

Twenty-five seconds,” Sala said. “That’s great, Mommy, a new record! Your best time so far was thirty-six seconds.” Ushers the reader into a hallucinatory world where the real and surreal merge and overlap, where dreams and real-life nightmares are impossible to tell apart.”—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

Ultima, "Placinta cu miere" este povestea micutei Sara care il viseaza pe Nenea Cutremur si se trezeste tipand noapte de noapte, epuizata de acest cosmar care se tot repeta. E de prisos sa mentionez ca nu cred nici in Nenea Cutremur. Her driver, Nimit, is the perfect care-taker for her, taking her to a secluded swimming pool away from the hotel where she can rest and swim in peace. Focul are forma libera. Si datorita acestui fapt, poate arata in orice fel, in functie de ce e in sufletul celui care il priveste."In these stories . . . Murakami proves himself to be almost as fantastic–and as heroic–as his creations.”– Elle Recitava Agostino d'Ippona che "vivere nel rancore è l'equivalente di bere un veleno e sperare che sia l'altro a morire". Murakami's storytelling inspires intimacy. It's the particular kind of intimacy that can evolve between a reader and a book, unspoken and unexpected, familiar, satisfying, strange.
