About This Book

The Essential Han Kang Meet author Han Kang's novels, short stories, poetry, and prose in one volume!

A special edition 'The Essential' that curates and compiles the author's core works into one volume. The Essential Korean Writer Edition, published by Munhakdongne, presents readers with an intense reading experience under the keyword of 'sensation' and selects authors who have caused a sensation in Korean literature. We hope that you will enjoy 'The Essential Korean Writer Edition', which has a comprehensive overview of the author's works, selected the included works, and has a new cover and editing, as your first introduction to Korean literature or as an opportunity to rediscover Korean authors.

The first author is Han Kang. Since her literary debut in 1993, author Han Kang has written works in various genres that confront the fundamental questions that literature poses in life - how do humans trust and love each other? Why is the world so beautiful and at the same time so cruel? What can humans do in the face of loss and pain? In addition to novels and poems, he has also published fairy tales for adults, prose collections that contain songs and writings that he created and sang himself, and collections of works that combine poetry and novels. He has also continued to work on visual performances through media art, expanding his space beyond texts. He has become a sensation and symbol of Korean literature beyond national borders, having achieved such feats as being the first Korean to win the International Booker Prize and the first Asian to be selected as a participant in the Norwegian 'Future Library' project. We present him as the first author of 'The Essential Korean Writer'. '

The Essential Hangang' contains the full-length novel 'Greek Time', two short stories 'Recovering Human' and 'Blue Stone', five poems, and eight prose pieces. These works condense the aesthetics of Hangang's novels, 'a ray of light faced by those who live with the pain of loss'. We expect that we will be able to better look into the literary map that the author draws through works of various genres that we encounter in one volume.

The old me was not the same person as me, but a person(s) that resembled me. While reading the proofreading, I felt like I was silently with that person(s). Maybe it was because of the reverse horse in my fortune, but I moved around a lot and lived in many places, but I never left writing, and I even thought that maybe that was my only home.
