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. (lib)

We Do Not Part. International Limited Edition
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE 2024Like a long winter's dream, this haunting and visionary new novel from 2024 Nobel Prize winner Han Kang takes us on a journey from contemporary South Korea into its painful history'One of the most profound and skilled writers working on the contemporary world stage' Deborah LevyBeginning one morning in December, WE DO NOT PART traces the path of a young woman, Kyungha, as she travels from the city of Seoul into the forests of Jeju Island, to the home of her old friend Inseon. Hospitalised following an accident, Inseon has begged Kyungha to hasten there to feed her beloved pet bird, who will otherwise die.Kyungha takes the first plane to Jeju, but a snowstorm hits the island the moment she arrives, plunging her into a world of white. Beset by icy wind and snow squalls, she wonders if she will arrive in time to save the bird - or even survive the terrible cold which envelops her with every step. As night falls, she struggles her way to Inseon's house, unaware as yet of the descent into darkness which awaits her.There, the long-buried story of Inseon's family surges into light, in dreams and memories passed from mother to daughter, and in a painstakingly assembled archive documenting a terrible massacre on the island seventy years before.We Do Not Part is a hymn to friendship, a eulogy to the imagination and above all an indictment against forgetting.Translated by e. yaewon and Paige Aniyah Morris'A vital voice and a writer of extraordinary humanity. Her work is a gift to us all' Max Porter'A remarkable novelist who reflects our modern condition with courage, imagination, and keen intelligence' Min Jin Lee (lib)

Weiß
»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. »>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 (lib)

Human Acts
From the internationally bestselling author of The Vegetarian, a "rare and astonishing" (The Observer) portrait of political unrest and the universal struggle for justice. In the midst of a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed. The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre. From Dong-ho's best friend who meets his own fateful end; to an editor struggling against censorship; to a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories; and to Dong-ho's own grief-stricken mother; and through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope is the tale of a brutalized people in search of a voice. An award-winning, controversial bestseller, Human Acts is a timeless, pointillist portrait of an historic event with reverberations still being felt today, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression and the resounding, extraordinary poetry of humanity.Shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary AwardAmazon, 100 Best Books of 2017The Atlantic, "The Best Books We Read in 2017"San Francisco Chronicle, "Best of 2017: 100 Recommended Books"NPR Book Concierge, 2017's Great ReadsLibrary Journal, "Best Books of 2017"Huffington Post, "Best Fiction Books of 2017"Medium, Kong Tsung-gan's "Best Human Rights Books of 2017"

Winner of the 2016 Man Booker International Prize NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Publisher's Weekly • Buzzfeed • Entertainment Weekly • Time • Wall Street Journal • Bustle • Elle • The Economist • Slate • The Huffington Post • The St. Louis Dispatch • Electric Literature Featured in the New York Times selection of "15 remarkable books by women that are shaping the way we read and write fiction in the 21st century" A beautiful, unsettling novel about rebellion and taboo, violence and eroticism, and the twisting metamorphosis of a soul Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams-invasive images of blood and brutality-torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It's a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that's become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman's struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

The White Book
Shortlisted for the 2018 Man Booker International PrizeFrom Booker Prize-winner and literary phenomenon Han Kang, a lyrical and disquieting exploration of personal grief, written through the prism of the color whiteWhile on a writer's residency, a nameless narrator wanders the twin white worlds of the blank page and snowy Warsaw. THE WHITE BOOK becomes a meditation on the color white, as well as a fictional journey inspired by an older sister who died in her mother's arms, a few hours old. The narrator grapples with the tragedy that has haunted her family, an event she colors in stark white--breast milk, swaddling bands, the baby's rice cake-colored skin--and, from here, visits all that glows in her memory: from a white dog to sugar cubes. As the writer reckons with the enormity of her sister's death, Han Kang's trademark frank and chilling prose is softened by retrospection, introspection, and a deep sense of resilience and love. THE WHITE BOOK--ultimately a letter from Kang to her sister--offers powerful philosophy and personal psychology on the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction.

Non dico addio (Fabula)
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.

Atti umani
Una palestra comunale, decine di cadaveri che saturano l'aria di un 'orribile tanfo putrido'. Siamo a Gwangju, in Corea del Sud, nel maggio 1980: dopo il colpo di Stato di Chun Doo-hwan, in tutto il paese vige la legge marziale. Quando i militari hanno aperto il fuoco su un corteo di protesta è iniziata l'insurrezione, seguita da brutali rappresaglie; "Atti umani" è il coro polifonico dei vivi e dei morti di una carneficina mai veramente narrata in Occidente. Conosciamo il quindicenne Dong-ho, alla ricerca di un amico scomparso; Eun-sook, la redattrice che ha assaggiato il 'rullo inchiostratore' della censura e i 'sette schiaffi' di un interrogatorio; l'anonimo prigioniero che ha avuto la sfortuna di sopravvivere; la giovane operaia calpestata a sangue da un poliziotto in borghese. Dopo il massacro, ancora anni di carcere, sevizie, delazioni, dinieghi; al volgere del millennio stentate aperture, parziali ammissioni, tardive commemorazioni.
