Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. La clase de griego es impresionante. En humanidad, en lenguaje, en las formas del dolor y el silencio dentro y alrededor de nosotros. Han Kang siempre es una de las escritoras mas lucidas: ensancha el cielo de los sentimientos. Max Porter En Seul, una mujer asiste a clases de griego antiguo. Su profesor le pide que lea en voz alta, pero ella permanece en silencio; ha perdido la capacidad del lenguaje, asi como a su madre y la custodia de un hijo de ocho anos. El profesor, que acaba de regresar a Corea despues de pasar media vida en Alemania, tambien afronta perdidas: su vista empeora irreversiblemente a cada dia que pasa, y convive con el miedo de saber que, cuando llegue la ceguera total, perdera toda autonomia. Con una belleza inusitada, las voces intimas de estos dos protagonistas se intercalan y se cruzan en un momento de desesperacion. Sera posible que encuentren en el otro el modo de salvarse, que la oscuridad de paso a la luz y el silencio a la palabra? La aclamada autora de La vegetariana indaga en la perdida, la violencia y la fragil relacion de nuestros sentidos con el mundo para brindarnos una carta de amor a la filosofia, la literatura y el lenguaje, pero, sobre todo, a la esencia de la conexion humana y de lo que significa sentirse vivo.ENGLISH DESCRPTIONNEW YORK TIMES EDITORS CHOICE A dazzling novel about the saving grace of language and human connection, from the visionary (New York Times Book Review) author of the International Booker Prize Winner The Vegetarian Both a disquieting journey about the loss of sense and a return to the sensorium of touch and intimacy, Greek Lessons soars with sensuous and revelatory insight.Cathy Park Hong, author of Minor Feelings ONE OF TIMES BEST BOOKS OF 2023 (SO FAR) "Now and then, language would thrust its way into her sleep like a skewer through meat, startling her awake several times a night."
