Assassination Knight Leader

About This Novel
Haruki Murakami's first novel in seven years ranked first among Japanese novels in 2017. The Chinese translation will be released on March 8, 2018! Lin Shaohua once again took charge of translation 10 years later. A stunning painting hidden in the attic connects the trauma of World War II with the paradox of reality! "I" am 36 years old and a portrait painter. My wife filed for divorce without warning, so "I" left the house without taking anything. My friend Masahiko let me live in his father's old house and introduced me to the job of teaching in Yamashita's painting class. "I" and two wives there became lovers. Masahiko's father is the famous painter Tomohiko Amada. Shortly after moving into that house, "I" discovered a masterpiece unknown to the world by Tomohiko Amada in the attic, titled "Assassination of the Knight Leader." After that, I was involved in a series of incredible events. The ringtone in the middle of the night and the entrance to the ancient temple, the mysterious neighbor Wataru Menshiki and Marie Akikawa, a female student in the painting class, the uninvited "Knight Leader" and the "Man with a Face", the real world and the metaphorical world... Murakami uses his good writing method of peeling off layers to lead readers to follow the many mysteries and lead them into a wonderful world. Faced with irreparable loss, he tells us to return to the cave and face the unspeakable evil.

Murakami is still the same Murakami, but he is further and further away from the Nobel Prize. People may become paranoid as they get older, but Murakami is still persistently writing about the changes in the world after the human spirit has been alienated. The core of this book can be seen as, underground, a continuation of 1Q84. However, the coat was too stuffy. However, some writers are destined to write novels all their lives. No matter what intentions and ambitions they have, they cannot achieve their goals. Murakami's continuous writing work is obvious to all readers. Just like Woody Allen, he still makes one movie a year. Although the glory is not there, it is also a kind of persistence of faith. Worthy of respect.
"Violence" and "evil" have always been one of Haruki Murakami's most important writing themes. He spared no effort to explore the source of violence, the way violence is presented, the factors of violence disguised and hidden, the violent past hidden in the hearts of the post-war generation of Japanese, and the indelible scars caused by violence. Describing violence is Haruki Murakami's way of calling for peace. "We must understand violence in order to have peace." Almost every novel by Haruki Murakami writes about violence and evil, and calls for peace and kindness. This is the cornerstone of his creation throughout his life.
How much does the actual book cost? The e-book costs more than 60? Are you crazy about money?
I have been reading Haruki Murakami for ten years, spent time with him through adolescence, and now it seems that I will also spend time with him during his midlife crisis. This new work has a unique sense of mourning for a middle-aged uncle, but fortunately, Uncle Murakami did not mourn all the way to the end, leaving some way for people like us who still have to go back and forth in mourning in the real world to survive.
What was I reading when I read Murakami?
Two words, loneliness and style. The loneliness in his works can be seen in the texture. Murakami is also a running enthusiast. Running is a lonely sport, and writing is still lonely. Looking for inspiration in loneliness is like looking for light in the dark night. People who are accompanied by writing are doomed to be lonely and noble.

Personally, I think Haruki Murakami's books should be read with caution. Those who are not mentally strong should not read them, and those who are underage should not read them. Because the views he conveyed were a bit extreme and decadent.
Very good book, highly recommended. Although it may involve some forbidden things and have extreme content, overall it is still very good-looking. Highly recommended, but those with low psychological quality should not read it, otherwise you will make nonsense again if it does not suit your aesthetic taste.
I bought the whole book, I'll take a look at it. The introduction looks good, I hope the content is worth reading.
Why can't individual chapters be sold?
