  • "The six stories in Haruki Murakami's mesmerizing collection are set at the time of the catastrophic 1995 Kobe earthquake, when Japan became brutally aware of the fragility of its daily existence. But the upheavals that afflict Murakami's characters are even deeper and more mysterious, emanating from a place where the human meets the inhuman. An electronics salesman who has been abruptly deserted by his wife agrees to deliver an enigmatic package--and is rewarded with a glimpse of his true nature. A man who has been raised to view himself as the son of God pursues a stranger who may or may not be his human father. A mild-mannered collection agent receives a visit from a giant talking frog who enlists his help in saving Tokyo from destruction. As haunting as dreams, as potent as oracles, the stories in From the Trade Paperback edition."

  • "In 1995, the Japanese city of Kobe suffered a massive earthquake. Nearly 6,000 people died. This collection of shourt stories was the imaginative response from Japan's leading novelist, Haruki Murakami: six stories, each dealing not directly with the catastrophe but the wider seismic effect it had on the emotional lives of people many miles away. It became a catalyst for individuals to reassess their lives with unexpected consequences for themselves and their families and friends around them."

  • ""La magnitud del terremoto que en 1995 asoló la ciudad japonesa de Kobe, y que se cobró más de cinco mil vidas, inspiró a Haruki Murakami seis impactantes relatos que transcurren poco después de la tragedia. Un comercial de equipos de sonido al que su mujer abandona abruptamente tras el seísmo, una adolescente huida de su casa, un chófer que trata de mitigar la misteriosa melancolía que consume a una mujer, un joven huérfano cuya existencia da un giro al descubrir parte de su pasado, un modesto empleado de banco a quien una rana gigantesca le pide ayuda para salvar a Tokio de un segundo terremoto, y un escritor con dificultades para "escribir" su propia vida son los protagonistas de los seis cuentos que componen el volumen. El protagonista omnipresente, sin embargo, es el propio seísmo, que irrumpe sutil o significativamente en las vidas de aquellos que sobrevivieron al apocalipsis. Sólo Murakami podía transmitir en seis historias tantas verdades sobre la compasión, el coraje y el sufrimiento humano." --Contratapa."@es
