1Q84: The Complete Trilogy

In 1Q84: The Complete Trilogy, acclaimed Japanese author Haruki Murakami presents a large-scale, genre-defying novel that blends thriller, romance and speculative fiction. Set in Tokyo in the year 1984, the story opens as Aomame, a fitness instructor turned assassin, accepts a taxi ride which triggers her unexpected entry into a parallel reality dubbed “1Q84” — where the sky bears two moons and common assumptions unravel. Meanwhile, in the same world but following a separate thread, aspiring writer Tengo becomes involved in a mysterious literary prize when he agrees to rewrite a remarkable first novel submitted by a 17-year-old girl with extraordinary gifts. As their paths converge, unseen forces linked to a shadowy cult and a strange child called the Little People begin to pull their lives into collision. Murakami masterfully orchestrates twin perspectives, weaving the metaphysical with the mundane, pondering chance, love and identity in a world that feels both familiar and uncanny. This omnibus edition presents all three books together, offering a full immersion into a richly imagined universe that has captivated readers worldwide. If you seek a novel that challenges the boundaries of realism, delivers emotional depth and offers psychological suspense, 1Q84 is a landmark literary achievement.
