HUMAN ACTS

First English edition, first printing. Paperback original. Publisher's original pictorial card wraps with titles in white to the spine and front cover. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with a tiny crease to the top corner of the front cover and a little light shelfwear to the extremities, the covers are free from fading, loss or tears. The contents, with light toning to the textblock edge due to the poor quality paperstock, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. An attractive copy. Uncommon.

The second novel to be translated into English by the acclaimed 2024 Nobel Prize winning South Korean author. 'Human Acts' was awarded South Korea's Manhae Prize for Literature in 2014 and Italy's Premio Malaparte literary award in 2017.
