Han Kang was a Nobel prize winner in literature 2024 . By accident, I came through her marvelous novel “The Vegetarian”, which reflects a deep understanding of the tens of layers of human sufferings , the agonies and misfortunes that dominate our modern world, especially women who were denied the minimum level of rights_ as those of our main character Yeong_ho who was denied the right to be a vegetarian, pushed her to the boundaries of cutting her wrest by knife, facing death instead of relinquishing her desire not to eat meat. The whole family disintegrates, as seen in the three parts of the novel; her sister is the only human who tries in vain to save her, or convince her not to leave life,; her husband divorced her, her parents refused even to keep visiting her at the hospital, and her sister´s man tried to use her to satisfy his sick artistic needs to paint her naked, or even to convince his friend to be engaged in sexual scenes, while he photographed them…… It is a poetic, terrible,lively drama with lyrical language that depicts nature in a wonderful approach where human, nature and dreams are becoming one.
