Human Acts
Winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature
A riveting, poetic and powerful work from the author of the International Booker Prize-winning novel The Vegetarian. 'Exquisite, painful and deeply courageous' Philippe Sands, Best Books of the Year, Guardian Gwangju, South Korea, 1980. Amid a violent student uprising a young boy named Dong-ho is killed. As his friend searches for Dong-ho's corpse, we also meet an editor struggling against censorship, a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories, and Dong-ho's grief-stricken mother. Through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope comes a tale of a brutalised people in search of a voice. A modern classic, Human Acts has been both a controversial bestseller and an award-winning book in Korea, and it confirmed Han Kang as a writer of international importance. '[Han Kang's] way of telling about the events of a 10-day insurgency in Gwangju, South Korea in 1980 and its psychological, spiritual and political aftermath opened my eyes' Susie Orbach, Best Books of the Year, Guardian

Donnerfee und Blitzfee
Das Kinderbuch der Nobelpreisträgerin Han Kang - eine bezaubernde, fröhliche Geschichte, illustriert von Jin Tae-Ram. Erstmals auf Deutsch.Zwei kleine Feen weben fleißig weiße Schäfchenwolken und große Regenwolken, schwarz wie die Nacht. Doch sie finden es langweilig, still zu sitzen und aufzupassen, dass sich die langen Röcke ihrer Flügelkleider bei der Arbeit nicht zwischen den Beinen verheddern. Da beschließen sie, die unbequemen Kleider abzuwerfen und sich aufzumachen, die Welt unter den Wolken zu erkunden. Ganz so einfach ist es aber nicht. Die Ausreißerinnen müssen einige Hürden überwinden. Als sie herausfinden, wie sie aufregende Gewitter erzeugen können, ist es mit der Langeweile ein für alle Mal vorbei. Sind Blitz und Donner etwas, was man fürchten muss? Oder sind sie nicht vielleicht eine weitere Möglichkeit, Regentage lustig zu verbringen? Eine fröhliche Geschichte für alle, die Angst vor Blitz und Donner haben, für alle, die keine Angst davor haben, und für alle, die gern Regenbogen am Himmel sehen. Erstmals auf Deutsch - das Kinderbuch der Nobelpreisträgerin Han Kang.

Light and Thread
What is love?<BR>It is the gold thread connecting between our hearts.<BR><BR>In this light-filled and multi-faceted book, her first since being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, Han Kang draws together the threads of her work and life, tracing the connections between her interior and exterior worlds through a sequence of essays, poems, photographs and diaries.<BR><BR>A book of reflections, of words and light, it has at its heart the tiny, north-facing courtyard garden at her home, cultivated solely through the reflected sunlight of the mirrors which she must move throughout the day, as the earth turns on its axis.<BR><BR>In a poem written at eight years old, Han Kang imagined a 'gold thread' of connection - an idea which she explores here with luminous attention, beginning with her Nobel Lecture. She writes of the wonder of following the thread we call language into the depths of other hearts, and her profound sense of an electric current which joins writer and reader.<BR><BR>Both intimate and illuminating, Light and Thread is a book for all readers of Han Kang's unique body of work.

The White Book
WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURESHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE'A brilliant psychogeography of grief, moving as it does between place, history and memory... The White Book is a mysterious text, perhaps in part a secular prayer book' Deborah Levy, Guardian From the author of The Vegetarian and Human Acts comes a book like no other. The White Book is a meditation on colour, beginning with a list of white things. But it is also a book about mourning, and of rebirth and the tenacity of the human spirit. It is a stunning investigation of the fragility, beauty and strangeness of life from one of the great literary voices of our time. 'Wonderful. A quietly gripping contemplation on life, death and the existential impact of those who have gone before' Eimear McBride 'The White Book is a profound and precious thing... Han Kang is a genius' Lisa McInerney

Weiß
Nobelpreis für Literatur 2024.Han Kangs persönlichstes Buch.'Ich glaube, dass dies die besten Worte für einen Abschied sind. Bitte stirb nicht. Lebe.'Während eines Aufenthalts in einer europäischen Stadt, die im weißen Winterschlaf liegt, überfällt die Erzählerin plötzlich die Erinnerung an ihre Schwester, die als Neugeborenes in den Armen der Mutter starb. Sie ringt mit dieser Tragödie, die das Leben ihrer Familie bestimmt hat, ein Ereignis, das in Bildern von Weiß wieder und wieder aufscheint: das Weiß der Muttermilch, der Windel, der reiskuchenweißen Haut des kleinen Mädchens. Nur eine Autorin wie Han Kang vermag es, aus einer so zutiefst persönlichen Erinnerung eine große literarische Erzählung zu erschaffen: 'Weiß' ist ein Buch über Trauer und die Widerstandskraft des menschlichen Daseins -- Han Kangs persönlichstes Buch und zugleich ihr literarisches Meisterstück. 'Ein geheimnisvoller Text, der es vermag, Schmerz durch Sprache zu überwinden.' Deborah Levy, The Guardian'¿Weiß¿ ist ein tiefgründiges und kostbares Werk. Die Sprache ist schmerzlich persönlich, jedes Bild wahrhaftig und tief bewegend. Eine ungeheure Leistung, Han Kang ist ein Genie.' Lisa McInerney

Die Vegetarierin
Der Roman, der Han Kang international bekannt machte"Ich hatte einen Traum", sagt Yeong-Hye, als sie nachts im Dunkeln die Gefrierbeutel aus dem Kühlschrank in der Küche räumt: Fonduefleisch, Schweinebauch, Rinderfilets. Sie isst kein Fleisch mehr und lehnt sich damit gegen ihren Mann auf - die erste Stufe einer Subversion in drei Akten: Ihr Weg mit dem Gesetz des Fleisches und des Vaters zu brechen, indem sie beschließt, eine Pflanze zu sein und fortan nur noch von Sonne und Wasser zu leben - sehr zum Entsetzen ihrer Familie. Die Vegetarierin gilt als Meisterwerk der zeitgenössischen südkoreanischen Literatur und ist das Buch, das die Autorin Han Kang schlagartig international bekannt machte.

Non dico addio
È una sorta di arduo e doloroso viaggio d'inverno, quello che compie la protagonista, Gyeong-ha, quando, senza esitare, accetta la pressante richiesta dell'amica Inseon, ricoverata in ospedale a Seul, di andare sull'isola di Jeju per dare da bere al suo pappagallino, che è rimasto da solo e rischia di morire. A Jeju, infatti, la accoglie una terribile tempesta di neve, e poi un sentiero nel buio dove si perde, cade e si ferisce. Ma niente riesce a fermarla. Gyeong-ha si rialza e prosegue, perché sa che deve assolutamente raggiungere la casa di Inseon e salvare il pappagallo. Quando arriverà, potrà soltanto seppellirlo, scavando a fatica nella neve e nella terra gelata. Poco dopo, però, lo vedrà di nuovo svolazzare nelle stanze buie e fredde - e insieme a lui comparirà anche l'amica, che aveva lasciato all'ospedale. Sotto la sua guida, Gyeong-ha compirà un altro viaggio: una discesa agli inferi, questa volta, nella storia della famiglia di Inseon e di uno dei massacri più infami che la Corea abbia mai conosciuto - quello perpetrato, tra la fine del 1948 e i primi mesi del 1949, ai danni di trentamila civili accusati di essere comunisti. E il lettore, a sua volta, non potrà che lasciarsi guidare dalla virtuosità narrativa di Han Kang, dalla sua scrittura al tempo stesso lirica e implacabilmente precisa, nell'itinerario onirico e memoriale di Gyeong-ha, dove la frontiera tra visibile e invisibile sembra svanire. Ma non può svanire la realtà atroce della violenza. Das Urheberrecht an bibliographischen und produktbeschreibenden Daten und an den bereitgestellten Bildern liegt bei Informazioni Editoriali, I.E.
