desertcart.co.jp: After the Quake : Murakami, Haruki: Foreign Language Books

Review: 英作文教本としてお勧めの本です。 - 英作文の練習にと 村上春樹の原作「神の子どもたちはみな踊る」と共に購入しましたが 英文に魅了される素敵な本です。十分に味わってから、日本語との表現比較をして英作文力を付ける教本にしていきたいと思います。実践ビジネス英会話の添削英作文のコーナーのお勧めはやはり確かなものだ実感しました
Review: Muru-kami's 'club sandwich' - What this collection of short stories is, is not Mura-kami in deep, pensive, late night bottle-of-whiskey-at-the-kitchen-table mode. It is not steak and a hearty bordeaux, rather it is a club sandwich and a Heineken. This collection of short stories finds Mura-kami in a less introspective and more playful frame of mind, And shows us an entirely different facet to the authors very complex mind. The connecting thread of the 'great Han-shin earthquake' is largely irrelevant and probably more of a marketing ploy that an actual construct that runs throughout the fabric of these short stories. The event, it often seems, is more of an afterthought - something lurking in the shadows, rather than something at the forefront of the narrative. These stories, for the most part consist of thoughts, echoes, dreams, characters, situations or recollections of ideas which have been more fully developed elsewhere in Murakami's work. That leaves the reader with a certain familiar sense of 'been there, seen that, done that', something which is not altogether a bad thing, and to some extent something to be expected. Without exception this collection is saved by the metaphorical bell of `Honey Pie', which although again, treads very familiar territory, is a fabulously endearing tale and something which Mura-kami has proven time and time again he has the propensity to render with heart warming prose. In summation, a quick, light, enjoyable read - something to help unwind the stresses of the day rather than stimulate your consciousness and hijack your dreams. Dictated directly into Dragon Dictate 2.0 (with very minor corrections by the author) ※勿論レビューは主観的ですが、この収集は星五つのランクじゃないです。星五つの意味は「完璧」です、この物語六つは村上さんの傑作じゃないです。
