PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA 2024
«Hay que leer la tremenda Actos humanos […] Una mirada casi imperturbable hacia el horror, la sangre y la crueldad desplegada institucionalmente .
Elena Hevia, El Peri?dico
Mayo de 1980. La ciudad de Gwangju se moviliza contra la dictadura militar de Chun Doo-hwan, que hace unos meses tom? el poder en Corea del Sur. La oposici?n civil, liderada por los estudiantes universitarios, se subleva a favor de la democracia, pero el ej?rcito reprime cruelmente las protestas disparando indiscriminadamente a la multitud, sin hacer distinciones entre estudiantes y civiles.
Tras la sanguinaria matanza, un joven busca el cad?ver de un amigo, un alma intenta aferrarse a su cuerpo abandonado y a sus recuerdos, y un pa?s brutalizado busca su voz. En esta novela polif?nica, las v?ctimas y los supervivientes que los lloran se enfrentan a la censura, a la negaci?n, al perd?n, a la culpa y a la memoria de un episodio traum?tico que sigue resonando en nuestros d?as.
Han Kang, galardonada con el premio Nobel de Literatura «por su intensa prosa po?tica que confronta los traumas hist?ricos y expone la fragilidad de la vida humana , homenajea a las v?ctimas de la masacre de su ciudad natal a trav?s de las voces de los m?rtires de la dictadura surcoreana. Actos humanos es una novela brutal, profundamente atemporal y universal que nos habla de las heridas colectivas, la represi?n y la violencia humana.

Amid a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed.
The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre. From Dong-ho’s best friend who meets his own fateful end; to an editor struggling against censorship; to a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories; and to Dong-ho’s own grief-stricken mother; and through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope is the tale of a brutalized people in search of a voice.
An award-winning, controversial bestseller,
Human Acts is a timeless, pointillist portrait of an historic event with reverberations still being felt today, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression and the resounding, extraordinary poetry of humanity.
