Haruki Murakami is a Japanese writer who became a classic during his lifetime. His novels "Norwegian Forest", "Sheep Hunting" and "Kafka on the Beach" brought him worldwide fame. Murakami is a great admirer of Franz Kafka's work. It is no coincidence that one of his latest collections begins with the story "Samsa in Love." This work became the starting point for the creation of the book "Men without Women." Murakami's main characters are men who have been abandoned by women for a variety of reasons. Some of them were separated by the betrayal of their beloved, some by death, some were left alone by chance, and for some it was a conscious choice. "It's very easy to become men without women. Loving a woman hard enough to make her disappear. In most cases, they are stolen by treacherous sailors. They talk the girls out of their teeth and quickly take them to Marseille or the Ivory Coast. And there's nothing we can do about it. Or maybe they end their lives without contact with the sailors. There's nothing we can do about that either. Not only us, but even the sailors."
