Shortlisted for the Man Booker International 2018From the author of The Vegetarian, winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2016From the author of The Vegetarian and Human Acts comes a book like no other. The White Book is a meditation on colour, beginning with a list of white things. It is a book about mourning, rebirth and the tenacity of the human spirit. It is a stunning investigation of the fragility, beauty and strangeness of life. Translated from the Korean by Deborah Smith. Review
A brilliant psychogeography of grief, moving as it does between place, history and memory… Poised and never flinches from serene dignity… The White Book is a mysterious text, perhaps in part a secular prayer book… Translated seamlessly by Smith, The White Book succeeds in reflecting Han’s urgent desire to transcend pain with language — Deborah Levy ― Guardian Published On: 2017-11-04

Wonderful. A quietly gripping contemplation on life, death and the existential impact of those who have gone before — Eimear McBride

The White Book is a profound and precious thing, its language achingly intimate, each image haunting and true. It is a remarkable achievement. Han Kang is a genius — Lisa McInerney

There is beauty and pain in every sentence and image, made sharper by their simplicity and aching honesty ― New Internationalist Published On: 2017-11-01

Each [chapter] is a miniature work of art in its own right… there is a crispness to [Han’s] pieces evocative of the stark luminescence of white… This is a book you want to underline and highlight every other line or word as you read, yet every time I went to make my mark, my pencil hovered over the margins – deep as drifts of pillow-white snow – as I remained reticent to taint the perfect whiteness in front of me. The White Book is a shimmering, evocative work. Smith’s peerless translation captures every last tiny nuance, the resultant prose so beautiful and affecting that it stops you in your tracks — Lucy Scholes ― National UAE Published On: 2017-10-30

A fragile work of literature ― Live Mint Published On: 2017-11-17

Delicate and thoughtful and concise and dense and strong; this is the kind of writing I like to read slowly — Jon McGregor ― Guardian Published On: 2017-11-25

An astonishingly rendered work of fiction… Precise, subversive, fierce and deceptively opaque… A sublime expression of grief’s incongruous byways, its busy inactivity, its larger, more elaborate intrusions — Catherine Taylor ― Financial Times Published On: 2017-11-10

[Han] in her new work transgresses literary convention and examines the constellation of pain at the heart of her mother’s first pregnancy… Shot through with pain and paradox […] Kang transforms obliteration into promise. Loss and living are counterpointed, neither meaning revoked — Katherine Waters ― Arts Desk Published On: 2017-11-05

[An] astonishing novel… with such tenderness [that] incites us to examine our own experience and place in the world… It’s a profound piece of work […] that is as much concerned with what is unsaid and omitted, as what is revealed… Han’s painful, exquisite story is a philosophical lament for all the shades of life — Sinead Gleeson ― Irish Times Published On: 2017-11-11

Incantatory… The White Book reveals Han to be an innovative author committed to formal experimentation… Intensely personal, hypnotically serene, and mournfully meditative, Han’s thanatopsis reminds readers of the revivifying power of memory and the extent to which we are uniquely endowed within the natural world to withstand the vagaries of forgetfulness and life’s nagging ephemerality — Brian Haman ― Asian Review of Books Published On: 2017-11-06

An intensely emotional series of accounts that form an outline of losses which are invisible, but still palpably felt — Eric Anderson ― Lonesome Reader Published On: 2017-11-09

Evocative and beautifully laconic, this book is about belonging, grief and the sensory experience of being alive ― Book Riot Published On: 2017-11-07

A brilliant psychogeography — Deborah Levy Published On: 2018-05-28

A tender evocation of grief and absence… Han Kang is a real artist ― Irish Times Published On: 2019-02-16

Formally daring, emotionally devastating and deeply political — Katie Kitamura ― International New York Times Published On: 2019-03-07

The Malady and Other Stories: An Andrzej Sapkowski Sampler (e-only)

Translated from original Polish by Danusia Stok and David French

INNER ENGINEERING: A YOGI’S GUIDE TO JOY: In this New York Times bestseller, for the first time, Sadhguru presents readers with a path to achieving absolute well-being through the classical science of yoga in a practical, accessible book. It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy.

An engaging mix of personal stories and profound insights, this transformative book tells the story of Sadhguru’s enlightenment and offers practical tools to create an enduring foundation for inner stability, peace and joy.

DEATH: AN INSIDE STORY: Death is a taboo subject in most societies in the world. But what if we have this completely wrong? What if death is not the catastrophe that it is made out to be but an essential aspect of life, rife with spiritual possibilities for transcendence? For the first time, someone is saying just that.

In this unique treatise-like exposition, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he describes the more profound aspects of death that are rarely spoken about. From a practical standpoint, he elaborates on what preparations can be made for one’s own death, how best we can assist someone who is dying and how we can continue to support their journey even after death.

Whether a believer or a disbeliever, a devotee or an agnostic, an accomplished seeker or a simpleton, this is truly a book for all those who shall die!

KARMA: A YOGI’S GUIDE TO CRAFTING YOUR DESTINY: A much-used word, Karma is loosely understood as a system of checks and balances in our lives, of good actions and bad deeds, of good thoughts and bad intentions. A system which seemingly ensures that at the end of the day one gets what one deserves. This grossly oversimplified understanding has created many complexities in our lives and taken away from us the very fundamentals of the joy of living. Through this book, not only does Sadhguru explain what Karma is and how we can use its concepts to enhance our lives, he also gives us sutras, a step-by-step guide to navigating our way in this challenging world. In the process, we get a deeper, richer understanding of life and the power to craft our destiny.
