Bøger om Korea

Sui forlader sin mand uden helt at kunne forklare hvorfor. Da hun modtager et brev om, at hendes ukendte bedstefar har ladet hende arve en hytte på Citronbjerget, beslutter hun sig for at rejse fra Danmark til Korea. Selvom Sui har rødder i landet, er alt fremmed. Selv hytten føles ubekvem, da den tårnhøje bedstefar har dimensioneret den efter sin egen krop. Kan hun overhovedet spejle sig i ham, når han er død? Hvem er den mand, der opsøger hende og påstår, at de kender hinanden? Og hvorfor ligger der bittesmå påfuglevifter i tændstikæsker i køleskabet? Da hyttens gartner anklages for mordbrand, og hans datter forsvinder, suges Sui ind i et familiedrama, der forankrer hende på bjerget og sætter hendes skilsmisse i et andet lys.CITRONBJERGET er et forunderligt sted og en roman om at miste fodfæstet og genfinde balancen. En fortælling om kærlighed – den man fravælger, den man mister og den, der blomstrer helt af sig selv.

Kais koreanske far forlod ham, da han var barn, og han identificerer sig hverken med sine koreanske rødder eller med sine evner til at helbrede andre ved håndspålæggelse. Han beslutter sig for at rejse til et alternativt samfund i Indien for at genfinde sig selv, og Sui kører til Sverige for at besøge sin 70-årige verdenskendte mor. De har ikke set hinanden, siden Sui var 7 og Miriam vendte civilisationen ryggen. Moren er i gang med skabe sit livsværk; hun indhegner et skovområde bag en mur, så naturen kan udvikle sig uberørt af mennesker.

Nordkorea er ubetinget verdens mest lukkede land, alligevel lykkedes det som den første udenlandske forfatter Kåre Bluitgen at bo og rejse i landet i over en måned og lave interviews og besøge institutioner og steder som den første. Jeg vil gerne klippes ligesom Kim Jong Un er som den første bog på dansk, der kommer rundt om mange aspekter ved det nordkoreanske samfund fra det historiske til de aktuelle tendenser i retning af religiøs tolerance og hastige økonomiske liberaliseringer. Kom med til frisøren i et land, der siges at have påtvungne frisurer, til fodboldlandskamp og på besøg hos et oppositionsparti. Og kom med til det enorme kunstakademi, forarmede landbrug og fabrikker, der står stille på grund af strømsvigt. Forfatteren har også besøgt fjerntliggende provinser, deltaget i en kristen gudstjeneste og verdens største militærparade, mødt buddhistiske munke og landets handicappede, der for få år siden officielt ikke eksisterede. Det er lykkedes at samle en række unikke indtryk fra dette ukendte land, der viser, at koreanske religioner og tusinde år gamle traditioner betyder langt mere end europæiske ideer som kommunisme og individualisme. Bogen afdækker også, at styret på ingen måde er irrationelt, som det ofte opfattes i Vesten, men tværtimod er dygtigt til at opnå gevinster ved højt spil og kold beregning i forhold til en omverden, der på grund af uvidenhed ofte ser ud til at blive taget ved næsen.

Fra en af samtidslitteraturens mest interessante stemmer, forfatteren bag den anmelderroste bestseller Når vi ikke længere forstår verden, kommer en tour de force gennem den kunstige intelligens' veje og vildveje. Han er et enestående talent, matematikeren John von Neumann – banebrydende inden for kunstig intelligens og medskaber på Manhattan-projektet. Neumann er beundret og berygtet, en excentriker uden sidestykke, som har dannet blåtrykket til nogle af det 20. århundredes største videnskabelige gennembrud.Gennem et kor af Neumanns familie, venner, kolleger og rivaler tegner Benjamín Labatut et portræt af et kompliceret sind. Historien begynder i Neumanns barndomshjem i Budapest og slutter hundrede år senere i opgøret mellem Lee Sedol, den sydkoreanske mester i spillet Go, og AI-programmet AlphaGo. Et møde, som varsler AI's dominans og som legemliggør Neumanns mest ambitiøse, ufuldendte projekt: skabelsen af en maskine, der kan reproducere sig selv. En maskine, hvis intelligens kan udvikle sig langt ud over menneskets forstand og kontrol.MANIAC er en forbløffende forening af fakta og fiktion, en udfordring af vores forståelse af intelligens og bevidsthed og en undersøgelse af det paradoksale forhold mellem kontrol og kontroltab.

Lektioner i græsk skildrer relationen mellem en kvinde, der har mistet evnen til at tale, og en mand, som er ved at miste synet. Det er en roman, der vækker sanserne, en poetisk kærlighedserklæring til menneskelig intimitet og en visionær undersøgelse af sprogets transformative kraft. I et klasseværelse i Seoul sidder en ung kvinde og betragter sin græskunderviser ved tavlen. Hun forsøger at tale, men stemmen vil ikke. Hendes underviser, hvis syn svækkes dag for dag, bliver draget af den tavse kvinde, og snart opdager de, at der findes en dybere smerte, som binder dem sammen. I løbet af få måneder har hun mistet både sin mor og forældremyndigheden over sin niårige søn. For ham består smerten i at være vokset op mellem Korea og Tyskland, splittet mellem to kulturer og sprog. Lektioner i græsk er en fortælling om to almindelige mennesker, der finder hinanden på et tidspunkt, hvor de begge gennemgår en stor personlig krise. Deres historier og livssituationer væver sig ind og ud af hinanden med en overvældende skønhed, mens de sammenbevæger sig fra mørke til lys, fra tavshed til kommunikation.

Ever since I was a young kid, I've been a die-hard Liverpool FC fan. The dream of witnessing a thrilling match at Anfield and catching a glimpse of the players in front of the Melwood training center had always lingered in my mind. After graduating from college, the pressures of the real world were looming. My friends were scrambling to secure their dream jobs, investing time and effort to climb the career ladder. Amidst this hustle and bustle, I made a daring decision: I was going to turn my dream into reality. I hopped on my trusty bicycle and embarked on an epic journey to Liverpool. It took me 235 days to finally arrive at Anfield. From the heart of China through the vast landscapes of Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, and, at last, England. I braved the scorching heat of the Gobi Desert, the desolation of Siberia, and even cycled through the European winter. A staggering 17,190 kilometers later, I had reached my dream destination, only to watch the home match in a humble Liverpool pub. While I may not have achieved the dual goal of seeing a game at Anfield and boosting my career, I've never regretted my decision. This journey fulfilled a lifelong desire and taught me lessons that no classroom ever could. This book brings you along for the ride, recounting the real-life adventures and experiences that shaped this unforgettable journey.
