摘自 2024 年诺贝尔文学奖得主韩江

“[韩江用]充满诗意的散文......揭示了人类生命的脆弱"--摘自诺贝尔奖颁奖词

纽约时报》编辑推荐--一部关于语言和人与人之间的联系的令人惊叹的小说，

出自国际布克奖得主《素食者》的作者，“富有远见”（《纽约时报书评》）。

“希腊课》既是一次令人不安的感官失落之旅，也是一次触觉和亲密感的回归之旅，它充满了感性和启示性的洞察力。

年度*佳图书： 纽约客》、《时代》、《芝加哥公共图书馆》、《柯克斯评论》、《出版人周刊》、《图书馆杂志》年度最佳图书

“时不时地，语言会像穿透肉串一样刺进她的梦乡，每晚都会把她惊醒好几次"。

在首尔的一间教室里，一名年轻女子看着黑板上的希腊语老师。

她试图说话，但已经失声。她的老师发现自己被这个沉默的女人吸引住了，因为他的视力在一天天下降。

很快，两人发现一种更深的痛苦将他们紧紧联系在一起。

对她来说，在短短几个月的时间里，她失去了母亲，也失去了九岁儿子的监护权。

对他来说，这是在韩国和德国之间成长的痛苦，在两种文化和语言之间挣扎的痛苦，以及失去独立的恐惧。

希腊课程》讲述了两个普通人在私人痛苦的时刻走到一起的故事--一个失去视力的男人的微弱光线与一个失去语言的女人的沉默。

然而，正是这些东西将他们吸引到了一起。

慢慢地，两人发现了一种深刻的统一感--当他们从黑暗走向光明，

从沉默走向呼吸和表达时，他们的声音交汇在一起，产生了惊人的美感。

希腊课程》讲述了这对情侣之间不可能的联系，

也是一封关于人类亲密关系和联系的温情情书--一部唤醒感官的小说，生动地勾勒出生命的真谛。

NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE ? A dazzling novel about the saving grace of language and human connection, from the “visionary” (New York Times Book Review) author of the International Booker Prize winner The Vegetarian

“Both a disquieting journey about the loss of sense and a return to the sensorium of touch and intimacy, Greek Lessons soars with sensuous and revelatory insight.”—Cathy Park Hong, author of Minor Feelings

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Time, Chicago Public Library, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal

"Now and then, language would thrust its way into her sleep like a skewer through meat, startling her awake several times a night."

In a classroom in Seoul, a young woman watches her Greek language teacher at the blackboard. She tries to speak but has lost her voice. Her teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, for day by day he is losing his sight. 

Soon the two discover a deeper pain binds them together. For her, in the space of just a few months, she has lost both her mother and the custody battle for her nine-year-old son. For him, it's the pain of growing up between Korea and Germany, being torn between two cultures and languages, and the fear of losing his independence.

Greek Lessons tells the story of two ordinary people brought together at a moment of private anguish—the fading light of a man losing his vision meeting the silence of a woman who has lost her language. Yet these are the very things that draw them to each other. Slowly the two discover a profound sense of unity—their voices intersecting with startling beauty, as they move from darkness to light, from silence to breath and expression.

Greek Lessons is the story of the unlikely bond between this pair and a tender love letter to human intimacy and connection—a novel to awaken the senses, one that vividly conjures the essence of what it means to be alive.
