Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami Peter Abelsen Voor de kust van Ithaka

Voor de kust van Ithaka dicteren de grillen der goden de oorlogen van de mens

Huiveringwekkend gruwelijk roept het de dagen van de Revolutie op

En dus dienden ze te worden verwend

nu zij zelfs tunnels in de tuin graaft om aan hem te ontsnappen

Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami Peter Abelsen Voor de kust van IthakaWhen he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past.
