Abstract
Commentary and psychology In this chapter I would like to approach the novels of Haruki Murakami. His famous novels are Norwegian Wood (2000), The Wind-up Bird Chronicle (1997), Sputnik Sweetheart (2001) and, most recently, Kafka on the Shore (2002a). These are stories with deep psychological and philosophical dimensions and, at the same time, they have sold millions of copies. In this sense, they seem to reflect the collective in modern Japan and grasp its depth. In terms of cultural comparison and encounter it is also advantageous that the works have been translated into sixteen languages. Most of Murakami’s works are available in English.
