In characteristically daring style, Anthony Burgess combines two responses to Orwell's 1984 in one book. The first is a sharp analysis: through dialogues, parodies and essays, Burgess sheds new light on what he called 'an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears', creating a critique that is literature in its own right. Part two is Burgess' own dystopic vision, written in 1978. He skewers both the present and the future, describing a state where industrial disputes and social unrest compete with overwhelming surveillance, security concerns and the dominance of technology to make life a thing to be suffered rather than lived. Together these two works form a unique guide to one of the twentieth century's most talented, imaginative and prescient writers. Several decades later, Burgess' most singular work still stands.

1995 kommt Hussein Akkouche als viertes von sechs Kindern einer Familie mit libanesischen Wurzeln zur Welt. Dass er Rapper wird, steht für den jungen Hussein fest, seit seine älteren Brüder ihn mit Songs von Tupac, Sido oder Bushido bekannt machen. Ohne Plan B stürzt er sich in die Musik und rappt sich voller Hunger und Talent aus Berlin-Lichterfelde nach ganz oben. Den Künstlernamen liefert ihm der Kosename seiner Oma: Samra, »der Dunkle«. Seine Geschichte ist die eines kleinen Jungen, der etwas gefunden hat, das ihm Spaß macht. Ein Träumer, direkt aus dem Herzen des Blocks, dessen Leben von Erfolg, aber auch bitteren Zerwürfnissen, Drogen und einem Vorwurf gezeichnet ist, der beinahe sein Leben zerstörte. Es ist eine Geschichte voller Licht und Schatten. Schon jetzt ließe sich ein Buch damit füllen. Hier ist es.

This deluxe three-volume paperback boxed set-gorgeously designed editions in a see-through case, with a removeable sticker on the shrink wrap packaging-is a collector's item in the making. It beautifully showcases Haruki Murakami's most ambitious novel yet, 1Q84-a love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a dystopia to rival George Orwell's. The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo. A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84-"Q is for 'question mark.' A world that bears a question." Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled. As Aomame's and Tengo's narratives converge over the course of this single year, we learn of the profound and tangled connections that bind them ever closer: a beautiful, dyslexic teenage girl with a unique vision; a mysterious religious cult that instigated a shoot-out with the metropolitan police; a reclusive, wealthy dowager who runs a shelter for abused women; a hideously ugly private investigator; a mild-mannered yet ruthlessly efficient bodyguard; and a peculiarly insistent television-fee collector. An instant bestseller around the world, 1Q84 is a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.

"Murakami is like a magician who explains what he's doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers . . . But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it's the rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves." - The New York Times Book Review§§The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.§§A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her.

Als Tengo seinen komatösen Vater im Krankenhaus besuchen will, findet er in dessen Krankenbett eine Puppe aus Luft vor, die ein Abbild Aomames als junges Mädchen in sich birgt. Er greift nach ihrer Hand, und eine unsichtbare Verbindung entsteht. Fortan wartet Tengo darauf, der Puppe nochmals zu begegnen, doch vergebens. War das Signal nicht stark genug, um die zwischen Leben und Tod schwankende Aomame zu retten?§Unterdessen setzt die gefährliche Sekte alles daran, um den Mord an ihrem Leader aufzuklären. Aomames Spur wird von einem so unheimlichen wie unangenehmen Agenten aufgenommen. Er ermittelt mit tödlicher Präzision, doch schließlich bringt er mehr in Erfahrung, als gut für ihn ist§Im dritten Teil des Epos beweist Murakami erneut aufs Eindrucksvollste, dass sich die Schraube des gnadenlos packenden Erzählens immer noch etwas weiter drehen lässt. Auch die jüngste Episode seines größten Werks wird Sie mit dem Wunsch zurücklassen, diese unfassbare Geschichte möge niemals enden.
1984. Aomame hat zwei verschieden große Ohren. Beim Rendezvous mit einem reichen Ölhändler zückt sie eine Nadel und ersticht ihn - ein Auftragsmord, um altes Unrecht zu sühnen. Tengo ist Hobby-Schriftsteller. Er soll einen Roman der exzentrischen 17-jährigen Fukaeri überarbeiten, damit sie einen Literaturpreis bekommt. Der Text ist äußerst originell, aber schlecht geschrieben - ein riskanter Auftrag. Aomame wundert sich, warum die Nachrichten ihren Mord nicht melden. Ist sie in eine Parallelwelt geraten? Um diese Sphäre vom gewöhnlichen Leben im Jahr 1984 zu unterscheiden, gibt Aomame der neuen, unheimlichen Welt den Namen 1Q84.
