From the bestselling author of Almond, The Devil Wears Prada meets The Office in this witty, humane, and ultimately transformative story of a group of young workers who rebel against the status quo, now available in a convenient pocket-sized portable Nomad Edition.Jihye is an ordinary woman who has never been extraordinary. In her administrative job at the Academy, she silently tolerates office politics and the absurdities of Korean bureaucracy. Forever only one misplaced email away from career catastrophe, she effectively becomes a master of the silent eye-roll and the tactical coffee run. But all her efforts to endure her superiors and the semi-hostile work environment they create are upended when a new intern, Gyuok Lee, arrives.Like a pacifist version of V in V for Vendetta, Gyuok recruits a trio of office allies to carry out plans for minor revenge. Together, these four rebels commit tiny protests against those in more powerful positions through spraying graffiti, throwing eggs, and writing anonymous exposes. But as their attacks increase, the initial joy they felt at the release becomes something more and Jihye and the others will discover the beauty of friendship and the extraordinary power of unity against adversity.

Won-Pyung Sohn, autora del éxito literario Almendra, regresa con una novela sobre cómo una persona que toca fondo logra salir adelante. Andrea Kim Seong-gon es un fracasado. En los negocios, en lo familiar, en lo economico. Ni siquiera cuando toma la decision de suicidarse tiene exito. Pero es entonces, desde lo mas hondo del abismo, que se obsesiona con algo nimio: cambiar su postura corporal. Lo que Seong-gon no sabe es que este pequeño gesto pondra en marcha una serie de cambios que renovaran por completo su vida.El impulso es, en muchos sentidos, una extension de Almendra, la primera novela de Won-Pyung Sohn. Si Almendra era la historia de un niño incapaz de sentir, que aprende con esfuerzo a comunicarse con quienes le rodean, El impulso narra el proceso de transformacion de un hombre que ha perdido la capacidad de emocionarse, pero que trata de recuperarla.Tocar fondo es solo el primer paso para salir a la superficie.
