The year is 1984. Aomame sits in a taxi on the expressway in
Tokyo.Her work is not the kind which can be discussed in public but
she is in a hurry to carry out an assignment and, with the traffic
at a stand-still, the driver proposes a solution. She agrees, but
as a result of her actions starts to feel increasingly detached
from the real world. She has been on a top-secret mission, and her
next job will lead her to encounter the apparently superhuman
founder of a religious cult.Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a
nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently
becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize
to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her
remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences
and moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be
true?Aomame and Tengo's stories influence one another, at times by
accident and at times intentionally, as the two come closer and
closer to intertwining. As 1Q84 accelerates towards its conclusion,
both are pursued by persons and forces they do not know and cannot
understand. As they begin to decipher more about the strange world
into which they have slipped, so they sense their destinies
converging. What they cannot know is whether they will find one
another before they are themselves found.1Q84 is a magnificent and
fully-imagined work of fiction – a thriller, a love-story and a
mind-bending ode to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is a
world from which the reader emerges stunned and altered.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
