In November 2024, Han Kang, a writer from South Korea, became the laureate of the Nobel Prize in Literature. The award was given for her poetic prose, which reveals the traumas and fragility of human life. Han Kang was born in Korea in 1970 and comes from a family of writers. She began her career in 1993 with the publication of poems and two years later debuted in prose. Her most famous novels are "The Vegetarian" and "Mongolian Mark".
