Europa

Translation: Deborah Smith

42,00 

Europa fits perfectly into the experimental Yeoyu series with its uninhibited exploration of complex emotions and human relationships. The common history of Europe’s protagonists , although short, allows you to read it many times, each time offering a new perspective and highlighting different aspects. In Europe you might find situations similar to your own lives, familiar emotions and questions. What are the limits of acceptance and love for another person? Can all suffering be forgotten? What exactly does the presence of another human mean?

The interesting graphic design harmonizes with the experimental approach to the text, which Han Kang has already made her trademark even before. In Europe, Han Kang moves freely between prose and poetry, finding a point of reference in the lyrics of the song that gave the story its title. In the lives of the characters music is one of the few constants. In-ah and her companion flow through life constantly changing, escaping violence and striving for freedom in self-expression.

The Yeoyu series is a collection of mini books featuring short stories and novellas. Yeoyu (여유) means a place or space, and in this case, the space of free self-discovery, a place where you can breathe and feel at ease. True to its name, the series presents the texts of some of the most interesting Korean writers, often experimental, surprising and unusual. Its counterpart presenting writers from Japan is Keshiki.
