Haruki Murakami’s epic 1Q84 is brought to life in this stunning two-volume Folio edition, featuring surreal artwork by acclaimed illustrator Daniel Liévano. A tale about parallel worlds and a mysterious cult, this is the first ever illustrated edition of Murakami’s masterwork.

Editor's Notes
Descend the emergency staircase of the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway and enter a world where things are not what they seem. A love story across parallel worlds, a violent detective thriller revolving around a mysterious cult – 1Q84 is Haruki Murakami's magnum opus, with over 1000 pages of weird and wonderful storytelling. It is suffused throughout with a heady dose of surrealness that is quintessential Murakami.

Full to burst with magical illustrations from series artist Daniel Liévano, this grand Folio edition is a fitting tribute to the meganovel. Bound in luxurious purple cloth, this two-volume set contains 12 full-page artworks and over 60 beguiling motifs, all held within an intricate foil-blocked binding in a dreamy palette of golds, pinks and lilacs.

Synopsis
Tokyo, 1984 – but not quite. Two moons hang in the sky, a sinister cult casts its shadow, and something has shifted in the air. As Aomame and Tengo move through their separate worlds, they begin to sense that their lives are quietly, uncannily linked. Murakami’s hypnotic novel is a sprawling, surreal love story wrapped in a mystery, all set in a reality that’s not quite real. Haunting, heart-tugging and deliciously disorienting, 1Q84 is the kind of book you emerge from blinking, unsure which world you’ve just left.
