describe the problematic social system we face today.\u003cbr\u003e It is like a snake that eats its own tail and destroys itself, relying not only on exploitation in the sphere of production but also on exploiting the social sphere outside it.\u003cbr\u003e It is also a very apt description of capitalism, which becomes fat and then self-destructs because there is nothing left to eat. \u003cbr\u003eThe system of financial institutions that continuously subjugate those who depend on debt for their daily reproduction and the state that only provides debt welfare are extremely cannibalistic.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, the debtor is the epitome of a living dead who cannot die even though his flesh is eaten.\u003cbr\u003e It is time to pay attention to the new faces of the resistance movement, including Seonhee.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.11 Kim Joo-hee, from “Poor People, Don’t Die”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My creditors want me to be healthy.\u003cbr\u003e I hope I am comfortable and hard-working.\u003cbr\u003e The future events that my creditors loathe and fear are my death or disappearance, my wandering or helplessness, my illness or my capriciousness.\u003cbr\u003e Because my days of safe survival and reliable labor, all the wonderful activities I undertake to take responsibility for and build myself up, are equivalent to the interest they will receive in the future. \u003cbr\u003eA person who can accurately predict the future, a sound person with a strong will and a detailed blueprint for his or her own life, is the model debtor who can collect principal and interest without harm.\u003cbr\u003e The creditors want me to live forever and convert the eternity given to me into money.\u003cbr\u003e The most shocking nightmare and revenge I could inflict on my creditors would be to be transformed into a bloody lump of flesh, barely able to breathe, or a vegetable with an oxygen mask attached to its face.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.40 Yang Seon-hyeong, from “Counterfeiting and Tulips”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I went to the ATM every day to withdraw money.\u003cbr\u003e There is a daily withdrawal limit, so I withdraw the amount I want each day and put it deep in my bag.\u003cbr\u003e (……)\u003cbr\u003e I walked around under the hot sun until my feet were burning, but it was fun.\u003cbr\u003e Whenever I looked at the clock, it was always night or dawn.\u003cbr\u003e A time when parents are asleep. \u003cbr\u003eTime not to call me.\u003cbr\u003e My parents gave me a share of the debt.\u003cbr\u003e I was just using cotton I had never used before.\u003cbr\u003e I had to pay the money back.\u003cbr\u003e My parents passed down honesty along with debt.\u003cbr\u003e Being lazy felt like a sin.\u003cbr\u003e But now goodbye.\u003cbr\u003e Really goodbye.\u003cbr\u003e But still, I kept thinking about my parents.\u003cbr\u003e I look at my watch, thinking I should make a phone call. It's late at night or early in the morning.\u003cbr\u003e I felt a cycle of anxiety and relief… …and now it was fading away.\u003cbr\u003e ---pp.66-67 Wi Su-jeong, from “Home”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I didn't steal much.\u003cbr\u003e If you knew how much money banks make in a day, it would be like dust.\u003cbr\u003e So, it's close to 0.\u003cbr\u003e You probably won't even know it's gone.\u003cbr\u003e I tried to say it jokingly, as if it were nothing special.\u003cbr\u003e As light as possible.\u003cbr\u003e Like singing.\u003cbr\u003e Humming.\u003cbr\u003e So I drank a lot of whiskey too.\u003cbr\u003e So that your voice doesn't shake.\u003cbr\u003e So that your earlobes don't burn. \u003cbr\u003e---pp.86-87 Wi Su-jeong, from “Home”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mr. Geoha added that in his late twenties, he had a major business failure and almost died.\u003cbr\u003e The debt kept growing and growing until it became impossible to repay.\u003cbr\u003e I went to a meat restaurant alone with the thought of having a delicious meal before I die.\u003cbr\u003e It was not meal time, so there were no customers, but the owner of the store was sitting in the hall watching a volleyball game.\u003cbr\u003e While waiting for the food after ordering the pork belly for two people, the man also watched the volleyball game.\u003cbr\u003e A player came in as a substitute to serve and ended up hitting the back of the head of a teammate.\u003cbr\u003e The player who was hit in the back of the head fell to the ground and was unable to get up for a while.\u003cbr\u003e “When I saw that, I suddenly thought of your aunt.\u003cbr\u003e I touched the scar on my forehead and strangely, I felt courageous. \u003cbr\u003eSo I was able to get back on my feet.” I asked Mr. Geometry to give my father, who always failed in business, a chance to touch his scar just once.\u003cbr\u003e Mr. Geometry said he would do that.\u003cbr\u003e (……) “There’s something I’m curious about.\u003cbr\u003e “Why did you start selling donuts, Aunt?” the man asked.\u003cbr\u003e “It was because my life kept getting twisted.\u003cbr\u003e In that case, I thought it would be better to live by twisting donuts.\u003cbr\u003e By the way, when is your birthday? If you go to your aunt's store on your birthday, they'll make you a long-awaited donut made by twisting it ten times.\u003cbr\u003e “You should definitely go and try it.” To my words, Mr. Kiha replied that he would definitely go since his birthday is next week.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---p.82 Yoon Seong-hee, from \"Time Capsule\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cdiv\u003eStories can't tell us directly how others feel, but they can help us imagine how we might feel in their situations.\u003cbr\u003e That is the power of empathy that stories possess.\u003cbr\u003e Abstract arguments can provide some background, but stories are what get to the point directly and poignantly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The novel magazine 『Gutnit』 believes in the power of such stories.\u003cbr\u003e The story connects the world we live in with the world that is clearly there but is not easily visible and that we try to avoid seeing.\u003cbr\u003e 『Gutnit』 presents readers with one thematic essay and three short stories centered on specific topics and keywords that cannot be overlooked in our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHousehold debt exceeded 1,862 trillion won in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 9.5 trillion won compared to the end of the previous quarter, and households' repayment capacity continues to decline.\u003cbr\u003e Household loans from the five major banks in August jumped the most in 1 year and 9 months. According to the ultra-financial sector this month (September 2023), the household loan balance of the five major banks (KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana, Woori, and NH Nonghyup) at the end of last month was tallied at 680.812 trillion won.\u003cbr\u003e This is an increase of 1.5912 trillion won in one month compared to the end of July (679.2208 trillion won), and the balance of household loans has increased for four consecutive months since May, and the increase in August was the largest in 1 year and 9 months since November 2021 (2.3622 trillion won).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn particular, in the case of housing mortgage loans, which have been driving the recent increase in household loans, the amount jumped by KRW 2.1122 trillion (KRW 512.8875 trillion → KRW 514.9997 trillion) in August alone, and it is said that the monthly increase in housing mortgage loans exceeding KRW 2 trillion is the first time in eight months since December 2022 (KRW 2.3782 trillion).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The household debt-to-GDP ratio has surpassed 100 percent, surpassing the \"red line\" warned by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It may be natural that speculations about a September crisis, an October crisis, and a December crisis are emerging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 『Gutnit』 No. 5 talks about 'debt'.\u003cbr\u003e Household debt, one of the major risk factors threatening the Korean economy, was first referred to as a \"time bomb\" 20 years ago. Now, experts predict that it is only a matter of time before this bomb explodes, and as its scale has grown, its explosive power will be uncontrollable. \u003cbr\u003eDue to the recent rise in loan interest rates and exchange rate hikes, debt is increasing, and problems such as people giving up on paying their debts and the younger generation defaulting on their loans are no longer recent phenomena.\u003cbr\u003e Starting with student loans, we are already living as 'debtors' in our twenties.\u003cbr\u003e 『Gutnit』 No. 5 presents three unique and problematic stories about our lives surrounding the topic of 'debt,' which has become a problem for most of the people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Joo-hee, a professor at the Chamirisa College of Liberal Arts at Deoksung Women's University, begins her essay, \"Poor People, Don't Die,\" with an episode from her own experience as an activist. \u003cbr\u003eThe lives of the poor, who cannot die because they are poor, and who should never die, ultimately become prey to the growing size of creditors and financial institutions. The duplicity of those who lure the poor with the promise of overcoming poverty and profit from them naturally makes us think about the nature of debt.\u003cbr\u003e This article clearly shows the reality of debtors who end up becoming living dead, whose flesh is eaten away but cannot die, and it also makes us think again about how we should proceed in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yang Seon-hyeong's novel \"Counterfeit Money and Tulips\" is a work that clearly displays the author's unique personality.\u003cbr\u003e The refined sentences that create a unique form of novel that reads like a fable, a novel by a novelist, or as if speaking directly to the reader create a unique rhythm. \u003cbr\u003eIn the story that follows that rhythm, the author naturally reveals the theme.\u003cbr\u003e This work explores in a completely new way the reality of our lives, where we carry around worthless pieces of paper, a currency that is worth less than the paper itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wi Su-jeong's novel \"House\" is the story of a narrator who inherited poverty and honesty.\u003cbr\u003e Maybe that's the case for most of us.\u003cbr\u003e In the story of a few days of traveling far away with a lover, the reader naturally learns what the narrator did in the place he left.\u003cbr\u003e I don't know where the speaker, who has sent his lover back to where he came from, can find a comfortable place to rest.\u003cbr\u003e The author's question, as revealed in the author's note, is \"Are the things we owe and the effort we expend to repay them equal to the value of what we borrow?\"\u003cbr\u003e How much difference can there be? \u003cbr\u003e“What is value?” may be a question we ponder every day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yoon Seong-hee's novel \"Time Capsule\" is a warm work that makes me smile without realizing it.\u003cbr\u003e Even with the heavy subject of 'debt' as the backdrop, the author's unique style of always presenting stories that move forward with positivity toward humanity and life is clearly demonstrated.\u003cbr\u003e It would be nice to follow the speaker who opens his eyes in a ger set up in the yard of the country house he went to with his father who had no choice but to return to the countryside due to debt, and mutters, “It looks like stars,” looking at the sky visible through the hole in the ger, and repeats in a small voice. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136 pages | 130*200*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9772951413055\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29514134 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891467485226,"sku":"165037","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/08522ca73033798f9afab8b3377c5620.jpg?v=1765326546","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/165037","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
