Resumen

Jeongho tiene catorce años y mirada felina. Lo llaman Ojos Saltones. La escasez de ingresos de su madre les obliga a ambos a trasladarse a Nanjido, la Isla de las Flores, un inmenso vertedero al oeste de Seúl donde las orquídeas cedieron lugar a la basura y millares de personas malviven en chabolas engarzadas a las montañas de desperdicios. Una sociedad muy jerarquizada y codificada en la que todo, desde el trabajo a la ropa y la manutención, proviene del vertedero, y gana más quien consigue posicionarse mejor en la recuperación de la basura.

Ojos Saltones encuentra en Trasquilón, un niño medio calvo, a un amigo que le irá mostrando los secretos de tan sórdido y nauseabundo lugar, donde el alcohol, el juego y la violencia son cotidianos. De la mano de Trasquilón y de una pandilla de jóvenes marginados acudirá al encuentro de los espíritus de los antiguos moradores cuando el lugar era un fértil terreno de cultivo donde se rendía culto a las tradiciones chamánicas. Un mundo invisible donde reina tanta harmonía como falta en el real.

Ambientada en la Corea del despegue económico de los años setenta, marcada por la modernización deshumanizada y sin escrúpulos, Hwang Sok-yong nos descubre la otra cara del progreso, la de los marginados y excluidos, la de los desechos humanos que viven de los desechos de la sociedad de consumo. Hwang Sok-yong combina realidad, ficción y fantasía en una novela de tintes dickensianos que, pese a la dureza de la vida que describe, emana lirismo, emociones y buenas dosis de humor. Una novela optimista y esperanzadora que resalta la belleza de vivir, incluso en ambientes que no animan a ello.

Summary

Jeongho is fourteen years old and has feline eyes. They call him Googly Eyes. Their mother's lack of income forces them both to move to Nanjido, the Island of Flowers, an immense landfill west of Seoul where orchids have given way to garbage and thousands of people live poorly in shanties embedded in the mountains of waste. . A very hierarchical and codified society in which everything, from work to clothing and maintenance, comes from the landfill, and those who manage to position themselves best in the recovery of garbage earn the most.

Googly Eyes finds in Trasquilón, a half-bald boy, a friend who will show him the secrets of such a sordid and nauseating place, where alcohol, gambling and violence are daily occurrences. With the help of Trasquilón and a gang of marginalized young people, he will go to meet the spirits of the ancient inhabitants when the place was a fertile agricultural land where shamanic traditions were worshiped. An invisible world where there is as much harmony as is lacking in the real world.

Set in the Korea of ​​the economic takeoff of the seventies, marked by dehumanized and unscrupulous modernization, Hwang Sok-yong reveals to us the other side of progress, that of the marginalized and excluded, that of human waste that lives off waste. of the consumer society. Hwang Sok-yong combines reality, fiction and fantasy in a novel with Dickensian overtones that, despite the harshness of the life he describes, emanates lyricism, emotions and a good dose of humor. An optimistic and hopeful novel that highlights the beauty of living, even in environments that do not encourage it.
