书籍简介

这部令人惊叹的新小说讲述了世界和个人之间的界限，作者是国际畅销书《1Q84》的作者。当一个年轻人的女朋友神秘地消失时，他下定决心寻找她真实生活的想象城市。他的搜索将导致他在一个偏远的图书馆工作与自己的奥秘。

当他终于来到了有城墙的城市，一个没有影子的地方，有角的野兽和柳树，他发现他的爱人在一个不同的图书馆工作——一个梦想的图书馆。但她对他们在另一个世界的生活没有任何记忆，随着现实与幻想之间的界限开始模糊，他必须决定他愿意失去什么。《城市及其不确定的城墙》是一个爱情故事，一个探索，是对书籍和图书馆的颂歌，是对这个奇怪时代的寓言。

赞扬村上春树:“可以肯定地说，没有人能像村上春树一样将国内、奇幻和深奥的元素融入到如此怪异迷人的色彩中。”《金融时报》“村上春树是一个讲故事的大师，他知道如何让我们着迷”《星期日泰晤士报》

The breathtaking new novel about the boundaries between worlds and individuals, from the internationally bestselling author of 1Q84. When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own.

When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library – a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he’s willing to lose. A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times.

作者简介

村上春树(作者)

1978年，29岁的村上春树在东京市经营着一家爵士酒吧。4月的一天，他在看棒球比赛时突然产生了写小说的冲动。她的一部小说《听风吟》获得了新作家奖，并于次年出版。随后，村上春树又出版了《追羊记》、《冷酷的仙境》和《世界末日》，但让村上春树从一个作家变成一种现象的，是1987年出版的《挪威的森林》。

在《发条鸟纪事》、《1Q84》、《当我谈论跑步时我谈论的是什么》和《没有女人的男人》等作品中，村上春树将神秘与日常、忧郁与幽默独特地融合在一起，继续吸引着读者，确保了他作为世界上受欢迎和受喜爱的作家之一的地位。

Haruki Murakami (Author)

In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon.

In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and Men Without Women, Murakami's distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.
