The Prize-Winning International Bestseller'I can't help but be moved by a story about women meeting, fighting, helping each other, looking after one another, and raising their voices against the prejudice and criticism they are subject to.' Cho Nam-joo, author of Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982When a mother allows her thirty-something daughter to move into her apartment, she wants for her what many mothers might say they want for their child: a steady income, and, even better, a good husband with a good job with whom to start a family. But when Green turns up with her girlfriend, Lane, in tow, her mother is unprepared and unwilling to welcome Lane into her home. In fact, she can barely bring herself to be civil. Having centred her life on her husband and child, her daughter's definition of family is not one she can accept. Her daughter's involvement in a case of unfair dismissal involving gay colleagues from the university where she works is similarly strange to her. And yet when the care home where she works insists that she lower her standard of care for an elderly dementia patient who has no family, who travelled the world as a successful diplomat, who chose not to have children, Green's mother cannot accept it. Why should not having chosen a traditional life mean that your life is worth nothing at all?In Concerning My Daughter, translated from Korean by Jamie Chang, Kim Hye-jin lays bare our most universal fears on ageing, death, and isolation, to offer finally a paean to love in all its forms.

En sanse- og oplevelsesmættet erindrings/rejsebog af høj kvalitet om en rejse til en forfatterkongres i Nordkoreas hovedstad, Pyongyang, i 1986.

Gwangju, Sydkorea 1980. I efterdønningerne af et studenteroprør, som er blevet slået brutalt ned, leder den 14-årige Dong-ho efter sin ven. Man har samlet de sårede og de døde i en gymnastiksal, hvor en gruppe unge mennesker våger over dem. Vil vennen være levende eller død, når han finder ham? Hvad sker der med sjælen hos den, der dør? Og hvad sker der med sjælen hos den, der overlever? Sydkoreanske Han Kang – forfatter til Vegetaren - er født og opvokset i Gwangju. Romanen Levende og døde (Human Acts) udkom på engelsk i 2016.

Kærlighed i Seoul er på rekordtid blevet en bestseller i Sydkorea og markerer også det store gennembrud for Sang Young Park. Med sin fortælling om livet som homoseksuel i Seoul, demonstrerer Sang Young Park en enestående evne til med både alvor og afslappet humor at tage fat på eksistentielle og vigtige emner, som søgen efter den store kærlighed, homoseksuelles rettigheder, abort og HIV, samtidig med at han, på næsten banal vis, skildrer hverdagslivet i storbyen for hovedpersonen Young og hans omgangskreds. Som læser bliver man delagtiggjort i alle deres sorger og glæder og ikke mindst deres vilde drukture og de efterveer, der følger deraf.The New York Times:In Park’s hands, Young is loud and obnoxious, insufferable and magnetic, messy and wise. The prose reads like an iPhone screen, vibrant and addictive. What a joy it is to see such a profound exploration of contemporary queer life — its traumas and its ecstasies throbbing in harmony. It’s a shimmering addition to the recent genre of novels chronicling queer millennial malaise.Sang Young Park (1988) tilhører den nye generation af syd­koreanske forfattere, der gennem de seneste år for alvor har sat sydkoreansk skønlitteratur på verdenskortet. Han har studeret journalistik og fransk på Sungkyunkwan University og creative writing på Dongguk University. Han begyndte sin karriere som forfatter med at vinde Munhakdongne New Writers Award i 2016 for novellen Searching for Paris Hilton og udgav novellesamlingen The Tears of an Unknown Artist i 2018. Kærlighed i Seoul er hans internationale gennembrud og blev bl.a. longlistet til Booker­prisen. En filmatisering af bogen har netop ramt biograferne i Seoul. En TV-serie er ligeledes netop udkommet.

Et varmt portræt af en koreansk familie i tre generationer og af en kvinde, der har mistet familie, sprog og kultur, men gennem skriften og mødet med sit ophav bliver i stand til at fortælle sin historie.Med TOLK udgiver forfatteren Maja Lee Langvad sin første roman.

This book is a valuable collection that brings together paintings by Elizabeth Keith, a Western artist who captured the fading sceneries of the old Joseon in vivid colors, along with anecdotes and explanations. This is based on the book by Keith, Old Korea: The Land of Morning Calm, published in 1946 in the United Kingdom, with a rich addition of a total collection of Keith's Korea-inspired paintings and research by Professor Young-dahl Song, who specializes in Keith's artworks as a collector and scholar. It took him almost 30 years to complete his Keith collection.Despite her world acclaim, Elizabeth Keith was little known in Korea. We can have a brighter picture of the late Joseon Dynasty years, as she photographically painted these sceneries with in-depth understanding and deep affection for the Korean culture and Koreans. This book digitalized 85 artworks by Keith on Korea, from watercolor paintings to woodcut prints in super high-definition quality, and also printed them on quality pieces of paper that are fit for art brochures in order to present them in forms that are as original as possible. Also, the stories and explanations told by Professor Young-dahl Song, who has studied Keith's life and artworks for several decades, offer further understanding of readers.By publishing this English-language book, which redefines the relations between Keith and Korea in the richest way possible, readers in the English-speaking territory can now enjoy a look into the old landscape of Korea, which was loved by Keith but being forgotten. Readers can also enjoy appreciating Keith's exotic paintings that were reborn in the best-ever color and quality.

"The father's revenge begins after losing his daughter to a sexual crime."「피해자」(The Victim) is a Korean-style crime novel that has received rave reviews from Korean readers. And it's a story about the pain, anger, and despair of victims of violent crimes."[Exclusive Report] Serial killings occur throughout Seoul. All victims are identified as male with past sexual offenses. Police are investigating the murders as hate crimes targeting sex offenders."If such an article were reported today, what kind of reaction would people show? Would they mourn their deaths, or would they mock and rejoice in the notion that those who died got what they deserved? Seeing the praise and support poured out for a YouTuber who recently disclosed the identity of a rape and attempted murder suspect in Korea, it seems that the average person has little interest in the rights of criminals. However, on the other hand, there is a significant number of people who argue that even the rights of these criminals should be protected. But can the scholars and wise men, who argue for the protection of the rights of criminals who have annihilated the rights of their victims, maintain the same argument if they or their family members become victims of violent crimes? Could they still say the same if their own family were murdered, sexually assaulted, or tormented?In a civilized society based on the rule of law, private sanctions (such as revenge or retaliation) by victims against criminals are treated as criminal acts themselves. In Korea, even a victim pushed to the brink of life-threatening danger and defending themselves with their fists can fail to be recognized as acting in self-defense and instead be punished for mutual assault, which has become a subject of social controversy. Furthermore, if a victim publicly declares, 'I have been victimized by so-and-so, ' they can be prosecuted for defaming the criminal's honor. The Korean judicial system excessively protects the rights of criminals, to the extent that police cannot subdue a knife-wielding criminal with a gun but must plead, 'Please, put down the knife.'「피해자」(The Victim) is a work that provokes much thought about the rights of victims, the rights of criminals, and private retribution. Starting with the protagonist's monologue, 'Can I really kill people?' the story introduces a subject never before explored in Korean literature-the serial killings of sex offenders. The protagonist loses his only daughter and wife to a sexual crime. Subsequently, he falls into a state of despair and reclusion. He even contemplates suicide. However, he changes his mind and decides to embark on a path of vengeance. He then proceeds to serially kill sex offenders.「피해자」(The Victim) was written in simple and easy sentences. There are no scenes that stimulate the reader's peripheral nerves, such as suffocating suspense, thrill, and shocking twist, but large and small dramatic elements such as events, conflicts between characters, and inner conflicts appear every chapter. Therefore, I keep turning the page because I am curious about the next content. The artist's storytelling skills, which deal with the speed of storytelling through adjusting the length of sentences, paragraphs, and chapters, are also shown. In addition, careful descriptions of the spatial background, the appearance, behavior, and psychology of the characters add to the literary fun.

Chancen für die gewaltlose Vereinigung geteilter Nationen bestehen, wenn alle Beteiligten sie wollen: diejenigen, die von der Teilung bislang profitierten, ebenso wie alle von ihr Betroffenen, zumeist die Leidtragenden. Kurz gesagt, es muss zu einem Nutzenwandel der Teilung kommen. Nach 20 Jahren Entspannungs- und Ostpolitik gab es 1990 eine Situation, die ein vereintes, in Europa integriertes, Deutschland als besser für Frieden und Stabilität erscheinen ließ als dessen Teilung, welche ihren Nutzen verloren hatte. Deutschlands Normalisierungsprozess stößt in China, auf Taiwan und Zypern sowie in Korea auf großes Interesse. Seine Relevanz wird jedoch unterschiedlich eingeschätzt: als ein in Teilen anzustrebendes Modell oder aber als Tragödie. Nordkorea möchte eine solche Entwicklung auf jeden Fall vermeiden, Taiwan strebt ein gutnachbarschaftliches Verhältnis zur Volksrepublik China an, aber keine Wiedervereinigung. Die Republik Zypern wünscht sich eine Vereinigung wie in Deutschland. Die Türkische Republik Nordzypern möchte durch Normalisierung Anerkennung erreichen und eine möglichst lockere Konföderation. Nach wie vor ist der Entspannungs- und Vereinigungsprozess Deutschlands in diesen Ländern ein genau studierter Untersuchungsgegenstand, allerdings mit sehr selektiver Wahrnehmung. Zukünftige Entwicklungen zwischen der Volksrepublik China und Taiwan sowie auf der koreanischen Halbinsel werden auch direkte Auswirkungen auf Deutschland haben.

Internationalism in Practice is a timely exploration of Claudia Jones' tireless advocacy for international, anti-imperialist, and anti-war solidarity during the pivotal, tumultuous years of the early 1950s. This new scholarly collection from Iskra Books unveils Jones' enduring legacy and continued relevance through her original writings, blending sharp theoretical critique, an approachable and accessible wit, and a poignant focus on the unique exploitations experienced by women of historically oppressed ethnicities in the United States."American mothers" of all ethnic and cultural groups, Jones wrote, must "emulate the peace struggles of their anti-fascist sisters worldwide to end the bestial Korean war." This impassioned plea resonates across time, inviting modern readers to reflect on the enduring necessity for a united, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, anti-imperialist front in a world where hostilities against the peoples of the Global South increase by the day.With excellent new contributions from Gerald Horne, Denise Lynn, Tionne Parris, and Betsy Yoon, as well as a classic piece of lesser known writing from Kim Il Sung, Internationalism in Practice bridges past and present-a testament to Claudia Jones' fearless dedication to justice, her unyielding stance against imperialist aggressions both abroad and at home, and her foundational advocacy for revolutionary intersectionality and peace. Internationalism in Practice is an indispensable resource, offering profound insights into the past and present struggles for organizers, workers, educators, and students alike.
