Overview

Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI según el New York Times

El fenómeno literario internacional que catapultó a Han Kang y que está destinado a ser un clásico


«Un libro que resistirá el paso de los años». -Gabi Martínez

«Palabra a palabra, La vegetariana es una experiencia extraordinaria». -Daniel Hahn, The Guardian

«Una de las escritoras más sublimes que pueblan el escenario contemporáneo». - Berna González Harbour, El País

Hasta ahora, Yeonghye ha sido la esposa diligente y discreta que su marido siempre ha deseado. Sin ningún atractivo especial ni ningún 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 frigorífico. A partir de ese momento, Yeonghye impondrá en casa una dieta exclusivamente vegetariana que su marido aceptará entre atónito y molesto. Este será un primer acto subversivo seguido de muchos otros que la llevarán a la búsqueda de una existencia más pura y despojada, más cercana a la vida vegetal, un lugar donde el poder erótico y floral de su cuerpo romperá 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 catapultó internacionalmente a la que es una de las voces más interesantes y provocadoras de la literatura asiática contemporánea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.
