Sinopsis de THE VEGETARIAN A NOVEL (NOBEL PRIZE 2024)

WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 'A strange, painfully tender exploration of the brutality of desire indulged and the fatality of desire ignored... Exquisite.' Eimear McBride Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people - dutiful wife and mild-mannered office worker. One day, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares, Yeong-hye decides to become a vegetarian. But in South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, it is a shocking act of subversion. Yeong-hye's passive rebellion rapidly manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, from sexual sadism to attempted suicide, and in increasingly erotic and unhinged artworks, as all the while she spirals further into her fantasies... Disturbing and beautiful by turns, The Vegetarian is a revelatory novel about modern day South Korea; a tale of shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others.

The Vegetarian by Han Kang is a gripping and beautifully written novel. It explores the complexity of personal choice and identity in a way that feels both haunting and thought-provoking. The story stays with you long after you finish, offering a deep on society and self. I really enjoy reading it.

There have been times in my life when I've felt completely lost and hopeless, wishing I could just be a tree! So, reading this book brought me back to hours of being alone with my thoughts, while a movie played in my mind, showing the world outside but focusing on how cultures are built around gender, and the never ending, sometimes agonizing reality of being a woman, of existing in these cultures. I think 'The Vegetarian' was more than just about being a vegetarian; it was a title for a woman who wanted to become a tree. Being a vegetarian was just a part of her journey. I honestly think 'The Vegetarian' is one of those books where everyone can find their own meaning. When I reached the last sentence, I felt like I needed to stop thinking for a while, so that I could later think about everything I read in this book. It's the kind of book that leaves you with questions; questions you're not even sure you have answers for.
