PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA 2024

«Hay que leer la tremenda Actos humanos [...] Una mirada casi imperturbable hacia el horror, la sangre y la crueldad desplegada institucionalmente .
Elena Hevia, El Periódico

Mayo de 1980. La ciudad de Gwangju se moviliza contra la dictadura militar de Chun Doo-hwan, que hace unos meses tomó el poder en Corea del Sur. La oposición civil, liderada por los estudiantes universitarios, se subleva a favor de la democracia, pero el ejército reprime cruelmente las protestas disparando indiscriminadamente a la multitud, sin hacer distinciones entre estudiantes y civiles.

Tras la sanguinaria matanza, un joven busca el cadáver de un amigo, un alma intenta aferrarse a su cuerpo abandonado y a sus recuerdos, y un país brutalizado busca su voz. En esta novela polifónica, las víctimas y los supervivientes que los lloran se enfrentan a la censura, a la negación, al perdón, a la culpa y a la memoria de un episodio traumático que sigue resonando en nuestros días.

Han Kang, galardonada con el premio Nobel de Literatura «por su intensa prosa poética que confronta los traumas históricos y expone la fragilidad de la vida humana , homenajea a las víctimas de la masacre de su ciudad natal a través de las voces de los mártires de la dictadura surcoreana. Actos humanos es una novela brutal, profundamente atemporal y universal que nos habla de las heridas colectivas, la represión y la violencia humana.

Amid 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.
