Han Kang from South Korea received the Nobel Prize in Literature. This was reported on the award website.
The Literature Prize was awarded to Khan “for his rich poetic prose that confronts historical trauma and reveals the fragility of human life.” It is stated that “Han Kang has a unique understanding of the connections between body and soul, the living and the dead, and has become an innovator in modern prose with his poetic and experimental style.”
This is not the first time the author’s literary work has been noticed. He previously won the Man Booker International Prize. His major novels “The Vegetarian” and “Human Actions” have been translated into Russian. The works managed to make an international breakthrough and gain worldwide popularity.
