About Book

Marbled Newt

If I were truly given more time, I would live differently.
So as not to die like an animal hit by a hammer,
Prepared not to be afraid next time.
To unleash the hottest, truest, and purest things within me,
To release it.
Towards a terrifyingly cold and ruthless world,
Towards a life that can be unintentionally abandoned at any moment.
First, ignite the flame, then with all my might, watch over it until it burns out,
Each of those moments transforms into an invisible force, propelling me forward.
1 The first-ever introduction of a healing work by Han Kang, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate (the first Asian woman to win) and the first Asian winner of the International Booker Prize!
Don't suffer from insomnia, don't have nightmares, don't believe anyone's accusations.
2 Written for you who feel tired and alienated by life
Have you ever had that experience?
Sometimes it feels like there's a complete stranger inside my body.
3 Directly translated from Korean by Professor Cui Youxue of Minzu University of China, with a cover illustrated by the super popular artist Lu Mao. Hardcover with dual covers, hot stamped with orange twilight gold.
4 Even if a person loses everything they once held dear, they can still live.
Amidst profound pain, a momentary glimmer of light, trembling, the will to regenerate, and the courage to step forward calmly again.
In her works, Han Kang confronts historical trauma and invisible rules, revealing the fragility of human life in each piece. She possesses a unique understanding of the connection between body and soul, the living and the dead, confronting historical trauma with poetic language and exposing the fragility of human life. — Nobel Prize in Literature citation
