Deine kalten Hände
Deine kalten Hände: Roman | Han Kang
4 posts | 2 read
Ein großer Roman über die Einsamkeit der menschlichen Existenz. Eines Tages verschwindet der Bildhauer Jang Unhyong beinahe spurlos. Er hinterlässt seine faszinierenden Gipsabdrücke von Händen und Körpern – und ein bewegendes Tagebuch, das seine lebenslange Suche nach Nähe und Wahrhaftigkeit in aller Welt voller Masken schildert. »Han Kang erzählt zugleich mit großer Brutalität und großer Poesie – eine Mischung, die nur wenigen Schriftstellern gelingt.« Stern. »Man kann sich dieser Stimme nicht entziehen.« Independent. Von der Autorin des internationalen Bestsellers »Die Vegetarierin«.

Das Buch hat mir leider gar nicht gefallen. Der Protagonist war mir unsympathisch, sowie fast alle Handlungen der Personen für mich nicht wirklich nachvollziehbar. Zudem fand ich es schwer die sehr negative Grundstimmung die das Buch durchzieht gut auszuhalten. Schade, da ich dem nüchternen und doch eindrücklichen Schreibstil der Autorin durchaus zugetan war.

Early in his life the protagonist of this book realizes that people often put on a mask for others and hide their true feelings and pain behind it. His mother, with her fake and cold smile, L who tries to numb her inner scars with eating and E, who tries to hide a secret from her childhood with her perfectionism - fragile and broken people that hide behind a hard mask shape his art, his life. Very mesmerizing read 4/5â­ï¸

I havn‘t been reading much lately as life was just too busy - job hunting in corona times, selling our apartment, buying a new one,... But it seems as if it will all slow down soon, the contracts for buying/selling should soon be finished and I also finally see a light regarding the job huntðŸ™ðŸ¼ So I really hope that I will find more calm to sit down and read soon - starting tonight with my two current readsâ˜ºï¸ I hope you all have a great day😘

Tanisha_A â¤ï¸ I sent you a little bookmail, too. Hope you get it soon. 4y
