Greek Lessons

This brand-new softcover edition is unopened and unread. Greek Lessons is noted for its sparse, lyrical prose and introspective tone, as well as Han Kang’s exploration of existential themes. Like her other works, it delves into human fragility and the ways in which people seek to overcome or accept their suffering. It has been praised for its meditative quality and the emotional depth of its characters. The novel is a quiet, contemplative exploration of loss, language, and human connection. It tells the story of two central characters: a woman who has lost her ability to speak and a Greek language teacher who is gradually losing his sight.
