Overview

Fenómeno internacional en quince países y uno de los mejores libros del año según The Guardian, The Economist y The Sunday Times.

«El repartidor de Pekín, de Hu Anyan, traducido por Jack Hargreaves, ofrece un relato sin adornos desde la primera línea de la economía gig... Lo más sorprendente es que ahora puede añadir un nuevo título: autor de éxito internacional». —Leah Greenblatt, The New York Times Book Review

Este relato, un éxito de ventas en China y vendido en más de 20 países, es deliciosamente honesto y divertido, y da rostro y voz al futuro del trabajo, como si Nomadland se encontrara con Nickel and Dimed.

¿EXISTE UNA MANERA DE GANARSE LA VIDA SIN DEJAR DE VIVIR?

El repartidor de paquetes lector de Chéjov y Carver que ha conquistado a millón y medio de lectores con su historia

«El idioma puede ser el chino, pero el agotamiento es global». —The New Statesman

El autor de este libro no es escritor. O no lo era hasta que el relato de su vida encadenando trabajos precarios en las megaciudades de China se convirtió en un fenómeno editorial.

Hu Anyan ha tenido diecinueve empleos distintos desde que se graduó: repartidor de paquetes, guardia de seguridad, dependiente... Cada vez que uno de ellos se volvía insoportable, lo dejaba y cambiaba de ciudad, llevando siempre consigo obras de sus autores favoritos. Chéjov, Carver o Foster Wallace eran las ventanas por las que entraba aire mientras intentaba sobrevivir en un sistema que nunca fue diseñado para sostenernos.

Con su voz sin adornos, su capacidad de observación y un delicado sentido del humor, Hu ilumina las vidas invisibles tras los oficios que mantienen el mundo en marcha, pero también muestra cómo, gracias a la literatura, encontró consuelo e incluso una forma de libertad.

Esta obra se interroga sobre el sentido del trabajo mientras plantea una pregunta más acuciante a lo largo de toda la narración: ¿acaso alguno de nosotros sabe de verdad cómo vivir?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An Economist Best Book of 2025
A Financial Times Best Book of 2025
A Sunday Times Best Book of 2025

"Hu Anyan’s I Deliver Parcels in Beijing, translated by Jack Hargreaves, offers an unvarnished dispatch from the front lines of the gig economy...The Cinderella bit of it is that now he can add a new title: internationally best-selling author." —Leah Greenblatt, The New York Times Book Review

A runaway bestseller in China, sold in 20+ countries, this delightfully honest and humorous account gives a face and voice to the future of work—as if Nomadland met Nickel and Dimed.

In 2023, I Deliver Parcels in Beijing became the literary sensation of the year in China. Hu Anyan's story, about short-term jobs in various anonymous megacities, hit a nerve with a generation of young people who feel at odds with an ever-growing pressure to perform and succeed.

Hu started posting essays about his experiences online during COVID lockdowns. His recollection of night shifts in a huge logistics center in the south of China went viral: his nights were so hot that he could drink three liters of water without taking a toilet break; his days were spent searching for affordable rooms with proper air-conditioning; and his few moments of leisure were consumed by calculations of the amount of alcohol needed to sleep but not feel drowsy a few hours later.

Hu Anyan tells us about brutal work, where there is no real future in sight. But Hu is armed with deadpan humor and a strong sense of self. He moves on when he feels stuck—from logistics in the south, to parcel delivery in Beijing, to other impossible jobs. Along the way, he turns to reading and writing for strength and companionship.

I Deliver Parcels in Beijing is an honest and startling first-person portrait of Hu Anyan's struggle against the dehumanizing nature of our contemporary global work system—and his discovery of the power of sharing a story.
