Beschreibung
Fully illustrated and beautifully designed, this is a unique and wonderfully creepy tale that is sure to delight Murakami fans."All I did was go to the library to borrow some books."On his way home from school, the young narrator of The Strange Library finds himself wondering how taxes were collected in the Ottoman Empire. He pops into the local library to see if it has a book on the subject. This is his first mistake.Led to a special 'reading room' in a maze under the library by a strange old man, he finds himself imprisoned with only a sheep man, who makes excellent donuts, and a girl, who can talk with her hands, for company. His mother will be worrying why he hasn't returned in time for dinner and the old man seems to have an appetite for eating small boys' brains. How will he escape?

The name made me pick up the book. this short read was no less than a bomb. Imagine going to a library like any other normal day for returning some books, then you met an old man who is like a librarian, you asked him for more books but something about him was ominous, you try to avoid and go home. But he won't let you go! It's a story of a boy, a shipman, & some bizzare talesThe relationship of library and reader made it more spooky & terrifying. The next part will just keep you on your edge. It's just one of Murakami's way, he will left you with your thought without answering anything & you need to figure it out.
