Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata tracker of lost cats who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices & mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing but the identity of both victim & killer is a riddle. Murakami's novel is at once a classic quest but it is also a bold exploration of mythic & contemporary taboos of patricide of mother-love of sister-love. Above all it is a bewitching & wildly inventive novel from a master stylist. ...

The Prophet first published in 1923 is the story of a seer & his wisdom. The books astonishing success turned it into a mystical & spiritual guide for the modern era & earned its author cult status. In the 1960s Gibran was embraced by the American counterculture movement & confirmed as the pioneer of the New Age. His messages remain powerful to this day.
