??? 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 m???s l???cidas: ensancha el cielo de los sentimientos???. Max Porter En Se???l, 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, as??? como a su madre y la custodia de un hijo de ocho a???os. El profesor, que acaba de regresar a Corea despu???s de pasar media vida en Alemania, tambi???n afronta p???rdidas: su vista empeora irreversiblemente a cada d???a que pasa, y convive con el miedo de saber que, cuando llegue la ceguera total, perder??? toda autonom???a. Con una belleza inusitada, las voces ???ntimas de estos dos protagonistas se intercalan y se cruzan en un momento de desesperaci???n. ???Ser??? posible que encuentren en el otro el modo de salvarse, que la oscuridad d??? paso a la luz y el silencio a la palabra? La aclamada autora de La vegetariana indaga en la p???rdida, la violencia y la fr???gil relaci???n de nuestros sentidos con el mundo para brindarnos una carta de amor a la filosof???a, la literatura y el lenguaje, pero, sobre todo, a la esencia de la conexi???n humana y de lo que significa sentirse vivo. ENGLISH DESCRPTION NEW 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 TIME 'S 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." In a classroom in Seoul, a young woman watches her Greek language teacher at the blackboard. She tries to speak but has lost her voice. Her teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, for day by day he is losing his sight. Soon the two discover a deeper pain binds them together. For her, in the space of just a few months, she has lost both her mother and the custody battle for her nine-year-old son. For him, it's the pain of growing up between Korea and Germany, being torn between two cultures and languages, and the fear of losing his independence. Greek Lessons tells the story of two ordinary people brought together at a moment of private anguish--the fading light of a man losing his vision meeting the silence of a woman who has lost her language. Yet these are the very things that draw them to each other. Slowly the two discover a profound sense of unity--their voices intersecting with startling beauty, as they move from darkness to light, from silence to breath and expression. Greek Lessons is the story of the unlikely bond between this pair and a tender love letter to human intimacy and connection--a novel to awaken the senses, one that vividly conjures the essence of what it means to be alive.
