About Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami claims that he learned to write novels by listening to music, and he refers constantly to the qualities of rhythm, melody, harmony, and free improvisation. His novels are quirky: surrealistic and supernatural, melancholic and fatalistic. They blend myth and modern, magical realism and traditional Japanese tales.

Haruki Murakami (born 1949) is a Japanese writer. Both of his parents taught Japanese literature. Since childhood, Murakami has been heavily influenced by Western culture, particularly American and Russian music and literature.

Landmarks in Humanities is a single-volume survey of global culture designed to help students of humanities, cultural history, and history of the arts to understand and appreciate the relevance of historical works and ideas to their own daily lives. In chronological sequence, Landmarks guides students on a journey of the most notable monuments of the human imagination and the most prominent ideas and issues that have shaped the course and character of the world’s cultures from prehistory to the present.
