«La mort del comanador 1: Llibre 1» is the novel by Haruki Murakami, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (440 pages, in Catalan).
The novel, narrated in the first person, follows a painter abandoned by his wife who retreats to an isolated house in the mountains. While searching for a reason to paint, the nocturnal sound of a bell leads him to a world of strange characters, tunnels, passageways and leaps in time, with the blend of realism and dreaminess habitual in Murakami.
This volume is the first part of «La mort del comanador», a novel in two parts. The original Japanese edition was published in 2017; the Catalan one, translated by Albert Nolla Cabellos, in 2018.
For readers of contemporary fiction and narrative with dreamlike elements and mystery, especially for those who already know Murakami's universe.
