STORYTELLING AUDIO CD PACK

June 1942, a small book was published: “L’Etranger” (The stranger). The unknown author was a 28 years old who was to soon modify the history of both literature and philosophy of th 20th century, expressing the absurdity of the human destiny. This man is Albert CAMUS, who was awarded the Nobel prize in 1957. On April 7, 8 and 9 1954, Albert CAMUS recorded the integrality of his most famous work “L’Etranger” for the National Radio. This 3-CD set offers a restored edition of this reading by Albert Camus himself (in French) of “L’Etranger”. Includes a 16 pages booklet written by Roger Grenier, who Camus helped to become a journalist for “Combat”, and who wrote a intellectual biography on Albert Camus.

A Wild Sheep Chase is one of Murakami's most fantastical novels. An advertising executive, infatuated with a girl who possesses the most perfect ears (an erotic charge for him) uses a picture of a sheep with a star on it's back. This catapults him into a weird adventure to find the mythical sheep up in the wilds of Hokkaido, Japan's northern island. There are strange encounters, a hotel with an extra disappearing floor, and other oddities. A Wild Sheep Chase is an early Murakami work, but it's remarkable and individual voice makes it one of the most thrilling of his books.
