Haruki Murakami (japanisch 村上 春樹 Murakami Haruki *12. Januar 1949 in Kyōto) ist ein japanischer Autor von Romanen, Erzählungen und Sachbüchern. Sein Stil zeichnet sich durch surrealistische Elemente und Anspielungen auf die Popkultur aus. Obgleich seine Erzählungen in Japan spielen, sind sie durch Vorbilder westlicher Literatur geprägt.

Seine Bücher erhielten zahlreiche Literaturpreise, wurden in rund 50 Sprachen übersetzt und zum Teil zu Filmen oder Bühnenstücken adaptiert. Der Autor führte darüber hinaus eine Jazzbar in Tokio, betätigte sich als Übersetzer amerikanischer Literatur und hatte vier Jahre lang Gastprofessuren an US-amerikanischen Universitäten inne.
"In a world that often seems divided, empathy serves as a bridge, connecting hearts and fostering a sense of unity. It's the superpower that allows us to see beyond our differences, to recognize the common threads that weave us together. When we practice empathy, we become catalysts for change, advocates for justice, and sources of healing. It's through empathy that we can build a more compassionate and inclusive society. Empathy requires us to listen deeply, to suspend judgment, and to hold space for others' experiences. It's an ongoing practice that invites us to step outside of ourselves and truly connect with the emotions and struggles of those around us. But empathy doesn't stop at understanding. It moves us to take action, to uplift, and to support one another. It's a call to kindness, to random acts of compassion, and to standing up for what is right. So, let empathy be our guiding light. Let's cultivate this extraordinary quality within ourselves and spread its transformative power to every corner of the world. Together, we can create a more empathetic and harmonious existence."~A.E.
