Ganadora del premio Nobel de Literatura 2024 Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI seg?n el New York Times El fen?meno literario internacional que catapult? a Han Kang y que est? destinado a ser un cl?sico
«Un libro que resistir? el paso de los a?os . -Gabi Mart?nez
«Palabra a palabra, La vegetariana es una experiencia extraordinaria . -Daniel Hahn, The Guardian
«Una de las escritoras m?s sublimes que pueblan el escenario contempor?neo . - Berna Gonz?lez Harbour, El Pa?s
Hasta ahora, Yeonghye ha sido la esposa diligente y discreta que su marido siempre ha deseado. Sin ning?n atractivo especial ni ning?n defecto en particular, cumple los requisitos necesarios para que su matrimonio funcione sin sobresaltos. Todo cambia cuando unas pesadillas brutales y sanguinarias empiezan a despertarla por las noches, y siente la imperiosa necesidad de deshacerse de toda la carne del frigor?fico. A partir de ese momento, Yeonghye impondr? en casa una dieta exclusivamente vegetariana que su marido aceptar? entre at?nito y molesto. Este ser? un primer acto subversivo seguido de muchos otros que la llevar?n a la b?squeda de una existencia m?s pura y despojada, m?s cercana a la vida vegetal, un lugar donde el poder er?tico y floral de su cuerpo romper? las estrictas costumbres de una sociedad patriarcal y ultra capitalista. Situada en Corea del Sur, La vegetariana es la historia de una metamorfosis radical y un acto de resistencia contra la violencia y la intolerancia humanas. Galardonada con el Premio Booker Internacional, esta bella y perturbadora novela catapult? internacionalmente a la que es una de las voces m?s interesantes y provocadoras de la literatura asi?tica contempor?nea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature. WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE - "[Han] Kang viscerally explores the limits of what a human brain and body can endure, and the strange beauty that can be found in even the most extreme forms of renunciation."--Entertainment Weekly
One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century
"Ferocious."--The New York Times Book Review (Ten Best Books of the Year)
"Both terrifying and terrific."--Lauren Groff
"Provocative [and] shocking."--The Washington Post 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. A Best Book of the Year: BuzzFeed, Entertainment Weekly, Wall Street Journal, Time, Elle, The Economist, HuffPost, Slate, Bustle, The St. Louis Dispatch, Electric Literature, Publishers Weekly.
