7LA NUEVA NOVELA DE HAN KANG
PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA 2024
PREMIO MÉDICIS ÉTRANGER 2023

«Una novela inquietantemente bella sobre la imposibilidad de despertar de la pesadilla histórica. Inolvidable . -Hernán Díaz

Una gélida mañana de finales de diciembre, Gyeongha recibe un inesperado mensaje de su amiga Inseon: después de sufrir un accidente en su taller de carpintería en la isla de Jeju, ha sido trasladada de urgencia a un hospital de Seúl. Desde la cama, Inseon le ruega que tome el primer vuelo a la isla y se ocupe de su pequeña cotorra antes de que se le acaben el agua y la comida.

Pero, desafortunadamente, cuando Gyeongha llega a Jeju se desata una terrible tormenta de nieve. Llegará a tiempo para salvar al pájaro antes de que caiga la noche?, sobrevivirá al viento helado que la envuelve a cada paso? Lo que ni siquiera sospecha es que algo más oscuro la espera en casa de su amiga.

Allí, la historia enterrada de la familia de Inseon está a punto de salir a la luz a través de los sueños y los recuerdos transmitidos de madre a hija y de un archivo cuidadosamente compilado que documenta una de las peores masacres de la historia de Corea.

Imposible decir adiós, la novela más reciente de la premio Nobel y galardonada con el Médicis Étranger, es un himno a la amistad y un canto a la imaginación, pero sobre todo una poderosa denuncia contra el olvido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE NEW NOVEL FROM HAN KANG, WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

"[Han Kang's] intense poetic prose . . . confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life."--The Nobel Committee for Literature, in the citation for the Nobel Prize

"Unforgettable."--Hernan Diaz Han

Kang's most revelatory book since The Vegetarian, We Do Not Part tells the story of a friendship between two women while powerfully reckoning with a hidden chapter of Korean history.

One winter morning, Kyungha receives an urgent message from her friend Inseon to visit her at a hospital in Seoul. Inseon has injured herself in an accident, and she begs Kyungha to return to Jeju Island, where she lives, to save her beloved pet--a white bird called Ama.

A snowstorm hits the island when Kyungha arrives. She must reach Inseon's house at all costs, but the icy wind and squalls slow her down as night begins to fall. She wonders if she will arrive in time to save the animal--or even survive the terrible cold that envelops her with every step. Lost in a world of snow, she doesn't yet suspect the vertiginous plunge into the darkness that awaits her at her friend's house.

Blurring the boundaries between dream and reality, We Do Not Part powerfully illuminates a forgotten chapter in Korean history, buried for decades--bringing to light the lost voices of the past to save them from oblivion. Both a hymn to an enduring friendship and an argument for remembering, it is the story of profound love in the face of unspeakable violence--and a celebration of life, however fragile it might be.
