編輯推薦
In a complete stylistic departure from his mysterious and surreal novels (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle; A Wild Sheep Chase) that show the influences of Salinger, Fitzgerald and Tom Robbins, Murakami tells a bittersweet coming-of-age story, reminiscent of J.R. Salamanca's classic 1964 novel, LilithAthe tale of a young man's involvement with a schizophrenic girl. A successful, 37-year-old businessman, Toru Watanabe, hears a version of the Beatles' Norwegian Wood, and the music transports him back 18 years to his college days. His best friend, Kizuki, inexplicably commits suicide, after which Toru becomes first enamored, then involved with Kizuki's girlfriend, Naoko. But Naoko is a very troubled young woman; her brilliant older sister has also committed suicide, and though sweet and desperate for happiness, she often becomes untethered. She eventually enters a convalescent home for disturbed people, and when Toru visits her, he meets her roommate, an older musician named Reiko, who's had a long history of mental instability. The three become fast friends. Toru makes a commitment to Naoko, but back at college he encounters Midori, a vibrant, outgoing young woman. As he falls in love with her, Toru realizes he cannot continue his relationship with Naoko, whose sanity is fast deteriorating. Though the solution to his problem comes too easily, Murakami tells a subtle, charming, profound and very sexy story of young love bound for tragedy. Published in Japan in 1987, this novel proved a wild success there, selling four million copies.
《挪威的森林》的作者村上春樹幾乎囊括瞭日本所有的文學奬項,在日本銷售瞭700多萬冊,現已被譯成多種文字在世界流行。可以說,小說情節是平平的,筆調是緩緩的,語氣是淡淡的,然而字裏行間卻鼓湧著一股無可抑製的衝擊波,激起讀者強烈的心靈震顫與共鳴。小說想嚮我們傾訴什麼呢,生與死?死與性?性與愛?坦率與真誠?一時竟很難迴答。讀罷掩捲,隻是覺得整個身心都浸泡在漫無邊際的冰水裏,奔波於風雪交加的旅途中,又好像感受著暴風雨過後的沉寂、大醉初醒生的虛脫……
內容簡介
When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past.
《挪威的森林》是一部動人心弦的、平緩舒雅的、略帶感傷的、百分之百的戀愛小說。小說主人公渡邊以第一人稱展開他同兩個女孩間的愛情糾葛。渡邊的第一個戀人直子原是他高中要好同學木月的女友,後來木月自殺瞭。一年後渡邊同直子不期而遇並開始交往。此時的直子已變得嫻靜靦腆,美麗晶瑩的眸子裏不時掠過一絲難以捕捉的陰翳。兩人隻是日復一日地在落葉飄零的東京街頭漫無目標地或前或後或並肩行走不止。直子20歲生日的晚上兩人發生瞭性關係,不料第二天直子便不知去嚮。幾個月後直子來信說她住進一傢遠在深山裏的精神療養院。渡邊前去探望時發現直子開始帶有成熟女性的豐腴與嬌美。晚間兩人雖同處一室,但渡邊約束瞭自己,分手前錶示永遠等待直子。返校不久,由於一次偶然相遇,渡邊開始與低年級的綠子交往。綠子同內嚮的直子截然相反,“簡直就像迎著春天的晨光蹦跳到世界上來的一頭小鹿”。這期間,渡邊內心十分苦悶彷徨。一方麵念念不忘直子纏綿的病情與柔情,一方麵又難以抗拒綠子大膽的錶白和迷人的活力。不久傳來直子自殺的噩耗,渡邊失魂魄地四處徒步旅行。最後,在直子同房病友玲子的鼓勵下,開始摸索此後的人生。

精彩書評
"This account of a young man's sentimental education sometimes reads like a cross between Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and Stephen Vizinczey's In Praise of Older Women. It is less complex and perhaps ultimately less satisfying than Murakami's other, more allegorical work. Still, Norwegian Wood captures the huge expectation of youth--and of this particular time in history--for the future and for the place of love in it. It is also a work saturated with sadness, an emotion that can sometimes cripple a novel but which here merely underscores its youthful poignancy."

當十年後我第二次讀《挪威的森林》,看到最後一頁,渡邊在那個不知名的地方隻能不停地呼喚綠子的名字的時候,我忽然纔意識到十年過去瞭呢。

其實在某一個瞬間我非常能夠理解這個人物的無奈。寂寞到至深處終究是需要一個依靠。況且自己麵前的這個男子是這樣的健康而儒雅。他時常會讓人産生一種生活其實還是很美好的幻覺,讓人間歇性的在精神上有所好轉。然而當夜深人靜獨自形影相吊的時候,當寂寞被無限放大的時候,我們往往會發現,很多事情其實如烙印一般深深刻進我們的皮膚,一輩子都不可能被忘記。

《挪威的森林》的作者村上春樹幾乎囊括瞭日本所有的文學奬項,在日本銷售瞭700多萬冊,現已被譯成多種文字在世界流行。此書為《挪威的森林》英譯版,用語似乎與之前網上流傳的電子版基本相同,但書總還是讀實體的好。握在手裏,小小一冊,不錯。
