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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature.

WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE - "[Han] Kang viscerally explores the limits of what a human brain and body can endure, and the strange beauty that can be found in even the most extreme forms of renunciation."--Entertainment Weekly

One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

"Ferocious."--The New York Times Book Review (Ten Best Books of the Year)

"Both terrifying and terrific."--Lauren Groff

"Provocative [and] shocking."--The Washington Post

Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams--invasive images of blood and brutality--torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It's a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that's become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself.

Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman's struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

A Best Book of the Year: BuzzFeed, Entertainment Weekly, Wall Street Journal, Time, Elle, The Economist, HuffPost, Slate, Bustle, The St. Louis Dispatch, Electric Literature, Publishers Weekly.

Fun probiotic
My favorite part about this one is that it’s a one pill dose. I take more pills than ideal so anything that only requires one pill is a selling point for me. As a probiotic, I’m giving it 5 stars for meeting expectations based on the listing even though it’s probably a 4 star product for me personally. This comes in a surprisingly compact capsule. I’m not an expert of all the options available on the market currently but it’s one of the smallest shelf stable probiotics I’ve taken on top of only requiring one pill a day. There is a mild scent and taste that I assume is due to the pineapple powder. It’s not distinctly pineapple but it has a hint of the sharpness. That said, I didn’t find either the flavor or scent strong enough to be off putting. Effectiveness is a little more nebulous. I didn’t have any negative effects and my gi tract seems to be running smoothly. 25 billion cfus is lower than what I find to be an optimal dose for my system but I wanted to try it out to see if 50 billion was overkill. I think the higher dose is a better fit for me because while things were fine on this, I feel like it did see even more improvement at my prior level. That said, this could be a great option for someone who wants a little more than a low, baseline dose but may be too sensitive for the 50 billion and higher options. Value is decent. It’s not the absolute cheapest but hangs out in the bottom half of the price per dose spread I’m familiar with.

New Testament study at it’s finest
Format: Hardcover
Wow, what a book. If I could only take one book as a resource to the Bible it would be this book. Comprehensive, detailed, scholarly scaled down to average comprehension, and relevant. Did I agree with everything Dr. Wright stated? No, but this is a rock solid book that should anchor your library. It is a an enormous book— it literally weighs 4and a half pounds. At 987 pages (889 actual text pages), it is not for the faint or weak at heart. The book literally covers everything you need to know about the New Testament in the Roman world, from history and religious backgrounds to book by book studies and concluding with textual criticism, the development of the canon and the responsibilities of the Church in living the life expounded on in the scriptures. Very highly recommended.
