Product Description

内容説明

With the same deadpan mania and genius for dislocation that he brought to his internationally acclaimed novels A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Haruki Murakami makes this collection of stories a determined assault on the normal. A man sees his favorite elephant vanish into thin air; a newlywed couple suffers attacks of hunger that drive them to hold up a McDonald's in the middle of the night; and a young woman discovers that she has become irresistible to a little green monster who burrows up through her backyard.

By turns haunting and hilarious, The Elephant Vanishes is further proof of Murakami's ability to cross the border between separate realities -- and to come back bearing treasure.


From Publishers Weekly

The virtuoso Japanese novelist presents 17 playful and darkly comic existentialist conundrums.

5.0 out of 5 stars まずは短編集からでも・・・, 2007/4/29
By route☆66 (大阪府) - See all my reviews
村上春樹の英訳版に挑戦したいなと思ってる方には最初の一冊としてお勧めです。
短編集なので集中して読みやすいですし、長編を読む足がかりになるのではないでしょうか。
アメリカの友人も面白いと読んでいましたし、言語の壁を超えて村上春樹の不思議ワールドを共有する喜びをもらいました。「パン屋再襲撃」は雰囲気が英語と妙にマッチしていてどちらが原文だか錯覚するほどの完成度。人物や場所の固有名詞が出てこない作品が多いので、英語で読んでも違和感なくすんなり入っていけると思います。外国人のお友達にも是非勧めてほしい一冊です。

4.0 out of 5 stars 英語の勉強に, 2004/2/26
『ねじまき鳥と火曜日の女達』、『中国行きのスロー･ボウト』
などおなじみの短編を収録。そして人気の『ファミリー･アフェア』
も収録されています！

何回か日本語で読んでから、ペーパーバックに
挑戦すれば、そこまで苦にはならないと思います

5.0 out of 5 stars おもしろくて不思議な世界！, 2007/4/24
By takahashi78 (埼玉県) - See all my reviews
代表的な短編が１７編載っていて次から次へと楽しませてくれる。前書きの｢The New York Times Book Review」でこの作品について日常生活で隠れているが近くに存在する微妙な世界を表現しているというようなことが書いてありましたがまさにそんな感じです。ユーモア、温かさ、時には皮肉も交えて日常生活とメルヘンが同居する不思議な世界という感じ。特にJay Rubin 訳はそんなHaruki Worldをうまく英語で表現しているような気がしました。中でもハンバーガーショップを襲撃してたくさんのバーガーを要求しながら飲み物は自分で払うと言い張る「パン屋再襲撃」はこっけいで面白かったです。
