Ganadora del premio Nobel de Literatura 2024 Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI según el New York Times El fenómeno literario internacional que catapultó a Han Kang y que está destinado a ser un clásico
«Un libro que resistirá el paso de los años». -Gabi Martínez
«Palabra a palabra, La vegetariana es una experiencia extraordinaria». -Daniel Hahn, The Guardian
«Una de las escritoras más sublimes que pueblan el escenario contemporáneo». - Berna González Harbour, El País
Hasta ahora, Yeonghye ha sido la esposa diligente y discreta que su marido siempre ha deseado. Sin ningún atractivo especial ni ningún defecto en particular, cumple los requisitos necesarios para que su matrimonio funcione sin sobresaltos. Todo cambia cuando unas pesadillas brutales y sanguinarias empiezan a despertarla por las noches, y siente la imperiosa necesidad de deshacerse de toda la carne del frigorífico. A partir de ese momento, Yeonghye impondrá en casa una dieta exclusivamente vegetariana que su marido aceptará entre atónito y molesto. Este será un primer acto subversivo seguido de muchos otros que la llevarán a la búsqueda de una existencia más pura y despojada, más cercana a la vida vegetal, un lugar donde el poder erótico y floral de su cuerpo romperá las estrictas costumbres de una sociedad patriarcal y ultra capitalista. Situada en Corea del Sur, La vegetariana es la historia de una metamorfosis radical y un acto de resistencia contra la violencia y la intolerancia humanas. Galardonada con el Premio Booker Internacional, esta bella y perturbadora novela catapultó internacionalmente a la que es una de las voces más interesantes y provocadoras de la literatura asiática contemporánea.
