Описание What I Talk about When I Talk about Running

"О чем я говорю, когда говорю о беге" - книга самого знаменитого мастера современной японской литературы, собрание, по его словам, "зарисовок о беге, но никак не секретов здорового образа жизни". С той же фирменной легкостью и недосказанностью, виртуозно балансируя на грани бытового очерка и аллегории, Харуки Мураками фиксирует свои размышления о беге, приобретающем в силу ежедневного повторения "некую медитативную сущность". "Искренне писать о беге, - говорит он, означает искренне писать о самом себе".
Книга на английском языке.
In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he'
d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing. Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo'
s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical.
