Bøger om Seoul

Lektioner i græsk skildrer relationen mellem en kvinde, der har mistet evnen til at tale, og en mand, som er ved at miste synet. Det er en roman, der vækker sanserne, en poetisk kærlighedserklæring til menneskelig intimitet og en visionær undersøgelse af sprogets transformative kraft. I et klasseværelse i Seoul sidder en ung kvinde og betragter sin græskunderviser ved tavlen. Hun forsøger at tale, men stemmen vil ikke. Hendes underviser, hvis syn svækkes dag for dag, bliver draget af den tavse kvinde, og snart opdager de, at der findes en dybere smerte, som binder dem sammen. I løbet af få måneder har hun mistet både sin mor og forældremyndigheden over sin niårige søn. For ham består smerten i at være vokset op mellem Korea og Tyskland, splittet mellem to kulturer og sprog. Lektioner i græsk er en fortælling om to almindelige mennesker, der finder hinanden på et tidspunkt, hvor de begge gennemgår en stor personlig krise. Deres historier og livssituationer væver sig ind og ud af hinanden med en overvældende skønhed, mens de sammenbevæger sig fra mørke til lys, fra tavshed til kommunikation.

Until his next 'customer' turns out to be someone he not only knows but cares about, and for the first time, he begins to question the role he plays in the vast, anonymous Company. And as he slowly starts to understand the real scope of their work, he realises just how easy it would be for the Company to arrange one more perfect murder... But how far will he go to escape The Company? And how far will they go to stop him? The electrifying novel from award-winning Korean thriller-writer Im Seong-sun - now in English for the first time - combines the tension of the best crime fiction with searing social criticism to present a searing take-down of global corporate life.

How could visiting Seoul be described in a way that allows someone else to feel like they are right there? What to say? What perspectives to choose? »What Should I Say-About Seoul« takes the reader on a path less traveled: The work and daily-life of Korean designers; but not just as a spectator. Traveling invites the traveler to question one's own perspective. The reader is invited to also learn about Korean designers' views on Germany. The insights found through this process are inspiring as well as challenging.»What Should I Say-About Seoul« gives a glimpse into South Korean society that is not so common after all. The editors focused on the works and experiences of designers. Some of the insights into the Seoul work experience appear grim at places, colored by the ongoing pandemic that forced people to cut down on social interactions.Also included are the experiences of Korean-German designers in the book and through that is could be noticed that there is really no reason to think of Germany as a country that "has it figured out." The modern workplace can be a very mixed bag at times and bad working conditions plague the creative ­industry worldwide. Speaking about these experiences allows us to feel less isolated and work towards change-so it is not all doom and gloom.
