Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Hear the Wind Sing (The Rat #1)
風の歌を聴け = Kaze no uta o kike = Hear the Wind Sing (The Rat, #1), Haruki Murakami Hear the Wind Sing is the first novel by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. It first appeared in the June 1979 issue of Gunzo (one of the most influential literary magazines in Japan), and in book form the next month. The novel was adapted by Japanese director Kazuki Ōmori in a 1981 film distributed by Art Theatre Guild. An English translation by Alfred Birnbaum appeared in 1987. Feeling writing as a terribly painful task, the narrator re-tells the story of his 1970 summer. He was a student of a university in Tokyo then, and returned to his seaside hometown for summer vacation. That spring a girl he dated at the university committed suicide. During the summer vacation, he frequented J's bar with his friend "Rat" and spent much time drinking beer obsessively. One day, he came across a girl lying on the floor in the washroom of the bar and carried her home. The girl had no left little finger. Later, he ran into the girl by chance in the record shop where she worked. After that, she started calling him and they hung out a few times. Meanwhile, Rat was clearly troubled about some woman but he did not disclose the details. One day, the girl without a little finger met the narrator at a restaurant near the harbor. They took a walk in the dusk along the warehouse street. She told him, "When I sit there alone, I could hear a lot of people coming talk to me ..." That night, at her apartment, she revealed she just had an abortion. When he came back in the winter, the girl had left the record shop and her apartment. He is married now living in Tokyo. Rat is still writing novels and sends his novel manuscript to the narrator every Christmas. تاریخ نخستین خوانش: روز پنجم ماه فوریه سال 2017 میلادی عنوان: بشنو آواز باد را - کتاب 1 - سری موش صحرایی؛ نویسنده: هاروکی موراکامی؛ مترجم: گیل آوایی؛ هلند، هنر و ادبیات پرس لیت، آبان 1393؛ در 293 ص؛ شابک: 9786007545097؛ موضوع: داستانهای نویسندگان ژاپن - سده 20 م عنوان: بشنو آواز باد را - کتاب 1 - سری موش صحرایی؛ نویسنده: هاروکی موراکامی؛ مترجم: آراز بارسقیان؛ تهران، میلکان، 1393؛ در 150 ص؛ شابک: 9786007545097؛ گیل آوایی مترجم اثر میگویند: روز درد را میشمارم، شب رویا را؛ خواب، فاصله ی دردها و رویاهاست؛ مستی، بهانه ای که طرحی تازه ببینی؛ هستم هنوز؛ میان همه هیچ، همین. با مهر و احترام؛ گیل آوایی، ماه اکتبر سال 2014 میلادی - هلند این داستان در روز هشتم ماه آگوست سال 1970 میلادی آغاز، و هجده روز به طول میانجامد. به این معنی که در روز بیست و ششم ماه آگوست همان سال پایان مییابد. نقل از متن آغاز داستان: «موش صحرایی (رت) داستانش را روی پیشخوان گذاشته، همچنانکه سر من داد میزد: افسرده نگاهم میکرد. یا شاید داشت به دستگاه قهوه ساب در پشت سرم داد میزد. موش صحرایی و من در بار(کافه) کنار هم نشسته بودیم، و هیچ دلیلی نداشت آنطور سر من داد بزند. اما به هر دلیل وقتی داد زدنش را تمام کرد؛ آبجوی به نظر دلچسبش را که مینوشید، خرسند بود. طبیعتا هیچکس در دور و برمان توجهی به داد زدن او نمیکرد. بار کوچک از مشتری پر بود. و هر کدامشان به همان صورت به همدیگر داد میزدند...»؛ پایان نقل. ا. شربیانی

"How can those who live in the light of day possibly comprehend the depth of night?"- NietzcheA nice first novel(la) with most all the known Murakami tropes already stirred in. There is music (pop, jazz, classical) with specific references to actual pressings. There are: cats, bars, whiskey, birds, alienation and needy women. Murakami ventures into existential philosophy and Western literature (both real and fake). It is all there. Things that would later pop up again and again in his later,When the time comes, everybodys got to end up where they belong. Only me, I didnt have a place to call my own. Its like musical chairs.A little rough around the edges, and heavily influenced by Kerouac(i.e. On the Road), Hear the Wind Sing is Murakami's first ever novel. The novel tells the story from the perspective of an unnamed narrator as he writes down the events of the summer vacation of 1970 that he spent at his hometown on the seaside. The story introduces some of the most notable
One of the problems with Murakami's writing is that his books start to feel really similar to one another if you read a lot of them consecutively. In that regard, Hear the Wind Sing was refreshingly different from his other works.You can see the author finding his voice in this book. He conducted a lot of experiments, especially ones with form (like the Radio DJ segments, for example). This is something he stopped doing as his style matured, but I quite liked the bits of uncertainty on display

Hooray, another new Murakami book to sink my teeth into! When I say new, I mean newly published as Hear the Wind Sing was Haruki Murakami's first ever published novel, in 1979, and has recently been published with Pinball, 1973 in a new English translation.This book doesn't really have a plot at such - it follows our narrator who spends his time sitting in his favourite bar with his best friend The Rat, chatting, watching baseball, and pursuing a girl with nine fingers. What I loved about it
although this is beautifully written, I completely missed the plotline in this one
Hear the Wind Sing is the first book by Murakami. It was okay, only okay.
The first work ever written by Haruki Murakami. Hadnt it won a prize, we wouldnt have ever heard if him as a writer, as he never had a copy if it before he sent it to that magazine. Lots of Murakamis writing themes started in this novel .. its the first of the Rat series ( that it seems I read in reverse) and now Im going to read it all in order .. Thanks dear Murakami for being my favorite contemporary writer <3 <3
