Haruki Murakami – Norwegian Wood – First UK Edition 2000 – Two Books in Solander Box
£425.00
First edition, first printings published by Harvill in 2000. Issued in two volumes similar to the original Japanese first edition. This title is one of the author’s most celebrated works, rapidly achieving cult status in Japan. Jay Rubin’s translation is the authorized version for publication outside of Japan, published 13 years after the original Japanese edition. Norwegian Wood is a nostalgic, elegiac coming-of-age romance, dealing sensitively with issues of love, loss, and mental illness. Original red and green wrappers, lettered in black and gold. Housed in the original bronze solander box with black titles, which are slightly rubbed and marked in places. Both near fine with a little wear to the top of the volume one’s page edge. Rare in the original box.
