NORWEGIAN WOOD – Romance, by Haruki Murakami

When your geographical horizon extends – for business or pleasure – you have the wonderful opportunity to hear you inside, like the perfectly proportioned man (created by Leonardo da Vinci), correlating the symmetry of human anatomy to the symmetry of the universe. What you see, hear, eat and feel, it’s all inside the Vitruvian approach to life. The original title “Noruwei no mori”, is the Japanese translation of “Norwegian Wood”. A very personal love story – written in Mykonos, Athens, Sicily and Rome – that the author has dedicated to all his friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtHkW97AJk8&list=RDXtHkW97AJk8#t=7 A plane lands at the airport in Hamburg, while a human being listening to a Beatles song (Norwegian Wood), thinking of a dead friend, and to his girlfriend. Imagine, as you read this novel, it all takes place at the end of the sixties, and imagine also that the life of those years contains a special guest: the death. Tōru Watanabe is the protagonist of the story you’re passionate about, Naoko is a beautiful girl and Kizuki is her boyfriend. The Naoko apartment, the library Kobayashi and the Tōru apartment are the scenarios where the existential events unroll, including the obsession with cleanliness and that of fitness. http://www.amazon.com/Norwegian-Wood-Haruki-Murakami/dp/0375704027
