'This is a captivating book... Min Jin Lee's novel takes us through four generations and each character's search for identity and success. It's a powerful story about resilience and compassion' BARACK OBAMA.

Yeongdo, Korea, 1911. Teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a fisherman, falls for a wealthy yakuza. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant – and that her lover is married – she refuses to be bought.

Facing ruin, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle minister passing through on his way to Japan. Following a man she barely knows to a hostile country where she has no friends, Sunja will be forced to make some difficult choices. Her decisions will echo through the decades.

Spanning nearly 100 years of history, Pachinko is an unforgettable story of love, sacrifice, ambition and loyalty told through four generations of one family.

5,0 de 5 estrelas História fascinante

Livro fantátisco. Aprendi várias coisas sobre a cultura coreana/japanesa, as quais não fazia ideia. A história em si é muito bonita, ao estilo de Cem anos de solidão, do Gabriel Garcia Marques, porém é focada na trajetória das mulheres da família a qual acompanhamos a vida ao longo do século 20. Vale muito a pena ler para conhecer um pouco dessa parte da história do mundo a qual não aprendemos com muito foco.

Um pouco da história oriental desconhecida por nos ocidentais. Entende-se um pouco sobre o Japão e Japoneses, sobre Korea e Koreanos.
Vale a leitura pela historia densa de discriminação e negações históricas. E até como denunciar problemas do passado que repercutem ainda no presente.
De uma maneira geral, vale a leitura apesar achar que na segunda metade do livro, a história se perde um pouco e fica meio sem foco.

Beautiful, sad, deep! All at once, this book brings a lot to the table approaching different aspects of immigration and cultural problems during the division of Koreas. I highly recommend it, even if you’re not into history itself.

O livro é muito emocionante. É difícil dizer que se é uma história de amor ou de tragédia e tristeza. Trabalha várias questões como o machismo, a xenofobia, e outras formas e discriminado. O livro mostra como a realidade não é preto e branca, e sim cheia de nuances. Há muita coisa que pode ser dita a respeito de cada capítulo, mas vou parar por aqui para não dar spoiler.

Avaliado no Brasil em 8 de maio de 2021

Este livro é fantástico, antes de qualquer outra coisa. Conta a estória de uma família de coreanos formada a principio por sua mãe Sunja, grávida de Hansu (uma espécie de gangster), que casa com o pastor Baek, doente de tuberculose. Em seguida, os dois seguem para Osaka e passam a viver com o irmão e sua mulher. Dali, vão aparecendo os descendentes e suas estórias. Os anos vão passando e conhecemos a discriminação que os coreanos sofrem no Japão, o Pachinko (uma espécie de junção de fliperama com jogo de aposta). Os personagens filhos vão se sucedendo com seus parceiros. É uma estória comovente e altamente recomendável!

Mesmo tento muitos personagens no livro, todos são muito bem trabalhados, você sente que realmente os conhece. Trata partes da história através da realidade das pessoas, o que é muito legal. É surpreendente como você percebe a vida acontecendo de várias perspectivas diferentes. Com certeza um dos melhores livros que já li.

Eu tenho um Inglês intermediário e não senti dificuldades com a leitura. As Dicas de Vocabulário do Kindle também ajudam bastante.

5,0 de 5 estrelas A story of haunting beauty and memorable characters.
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 12 de dezembro de 2022

I originally watched some episodes of the Pachinko dramatization on Apple TV. Because of the excellent acting and engaging script, I became quickly engrossed in the production. After learning the story would be released in 4 seasons, I was dismayed knowing I would be at the edge of my seat for the next four years yearning to know what happens to these characters. Wishing to spare myself this misery, I looked up the book, Pachinko, upon which the drama was based, bought my copy from Amazon Kindle and read it cover to cover in two days. Being a slow reader and being that Pachinko is not a light read, I got through that book very fast simply because almost from the first page, I could not put it down.

Generally, I’m not a fan of family sagas, but I have recently begun watching Korean dramas with subtitles. While enjoying the dramas, I have become interested in Korean history and culture, so reading this book, written by Korean American author, Min Jin Lee, was an opportunity to acquaint myself with Korean culture from the lens of someone raised in a Korean household, but who also has lived and been educated in the United States.

I was grateful that, unlike the movie, the story in this book runs along in a sequential timeline with very little time-shifting. Lee presents this story in a universal, omnipresent point of view, so one gets the story from multiple viewpoints, not only from major characters, but from some minor ones as well. The writing is so skillfully executed, the narrative runs seamlessly along. The writing is also immersive with just enough description to set the scenes. Through this evocative writing, I could feel the closeness of life in Sunja’s childhood boarding house while appreciating the freedom and beauty of the black rocks by the seashore where Sunja and her companions washed clothes and where she spent time with her lover, Koh Hansu. A week after finishing this book I can still close my eyes and feel the poverty of Osaka where Sunju and her family eked out a living, all crowded in a small, rickety dwelling, held down and oppressed for being Koreans by their Japanese overlords.

The strongest part of the story were the characters, all thoughtfully written and fleshed out. Sunja was a plain, uneducated peasant girl whose great intelligence, wisdom, loyalty, faith and well-honed instincts helped lay the foundations for her family’s survival during rough times and later for their great prosperity despite the prejudice they were forced to endure. Her two loves, Koh Hansu and Isak, different as two men could be, protected her and her family in their own way. Her son, Noa, witnessed the hardships of the World War II in his younger years, but because of his great intelligence and because of the secret presence of his wealthy, natural father, he was spared many of the dangers and deprivations other Korean children faced. Growing up and being educated alongside Japanese children, he came to be greatly conflicted between his Japanese education and his Korean heritage. His younger brother, Mozasu, lacked the patience for education, yet he was diligent and street-smart and made a success of his life running and eventually owning pachinko parlors. Koh Hansu was probably the most tragic of the characters Lee highlights. He is a gifted Korean, born into poverty who found success by selling his soul to his Japanese overlords. He has married into a wealthy Japanese family, even been adopted by his father-in-law, yet he has little respect for his Japanese family. He loved the Korean peasant girl, Sunja, but she refused to become his mistress and went on to pursue her own life. Though Sunja is only one among many lovers, he remains haunted by her throughout his life. She gave birth to his only son, but she also touched his heart in a way no other human being could. Though Koh is a much feared and corrupt Yakuza in later years, he still goes out of his way to show kindness to Sunja and her family. Also of interest are the couple Yeseb and his beautiful wife, Kyunghee. Yeseb struggles with a feeling of inferiority towards his younger brother, Isak, who he believes is too idealistic and fragile for this word. He is a protective older brother hemmed in by traditional, paternalistic ideals that prove costly in the foreign world of Imperial Japan where his family is forced to exist under difficult and almost impossible conditions. He works multiple jobs and still isn’t able to make enough to support his family, yet he refuses to let his wife work outside the home. Later he becomes disabled and is forced to become dependent upon others, including his wife, for care. The most beautiful thing about this extended family is these individuals have their share of conflict, resentments, and misunderstandings, but throughout their lives, they are completely devoted to each other. When trouble threatens from the outside or when one family member is in need, each one of them comes through for the other.

The book starts in Korea during the early part of the twentieth century during the Japanese occupation. In Korea, Sunja and her family, as well as other Koreans, are regarded with suspicion by their Japanese overlords. Not only do the Japanese exploit them and take the best land and sea can produce, but they regard and treat the native Koreans as innately inferior. The attitudes don’t change after World War II during occupied Japan or even as late as the 1980’s when the book ends. Koreans living in Japan or even born there are still regarded legally and socially as foreigners. Returning to Korea, as many of these individuals desired to do after the war, was problematic as well, and even downright deadly. Families and individuals from the north of Korea, had to return to a part of Korea run by the Communists. There were individuals in the book who returned and were never heard from again. The south of Korea was run by a dictator most of the time and beset by chaos and corruption, as well as the Korean war. Sunja and her family were trapped in Japan by these circumstances, but Japan, first Osaka and then Yokohama, became their home. Here they were able to start and run businesses and earn a living. Being Koreans, they might never be fully accepted in their community, but here they found a life. They weren’t shunned by all Japanese. Lee introduces her readers to Japanese individuals touched by this family, but all of them have one thing in common: because of circumstances or past actions or mistakes, they have been marginalized by their Japanese countrymen. There is Mozasu’s girlfriend, Etsuko, who was divorced by her husband because of infidelity. In her disgrace she had to leave her community in Hokkaido and move to another town. Mozasu’s first employer had an autistic son and was also marginalized. Noa’s first serious girlfriend, Akiko, who doesn't fit in with her Japanese peers, is a precocious Japanese girl from a wealthy family, who is fascinated by Noa’s Korean heritage. When Akiko, through her ignorance and thoughtlessness, interferes and unwittingly forces an explosive family issue, Noa freezes her totally out of his life.

I never heard the name Pachinko until I watched some of the drama on my streaming service. As the book explains, it is a popular game in Japan that is a cross between pinball and slot machines. Winners appear to win by chance and thereby have hope for a good outcome, but the owners set the machines and allow some wins so that other less fortunate people will be drawn in. Winners are those who happen to play during the time of day the pins are loose and ready to yield the winnings. I suppose life can be looked upon as a game of Pachinko. Pachinko was one of the few avenues where Korean individuals could make their fortunes in post-war Japan. It was not considered respectable enough for good Japanese people to be a part of, even though the Japanese loved to play it. Both of Sunja’s sons end up making a living running Pachinko.

This book presented a window into, what are to me, two foreign cultures, Korean and Japanese. Sunja’s extended family is made up of aristocrats from the north of Korea as well as peasants from the south. Sunja’s youth was grounded in Confucian, old world Korean ideals, but as time passed, she and her family were introduced to Christianity, the values of Imperial Japan, post-war commercialism, and globalization. The values of her Korean childhood such as loyalty, morality, revereance for family and work ethic remained in Sunja and were passed on to subsequent generations of her family. What stood out to me was the great influence of Christianity and how its message of forgiveness and loving grace impacted this family and tempered the harsher aspects of their traditional Korean ideals. Unlike many modern authors dealing with Christian characters, Lee presented the clergy in a balanced and realistic way, neither lionizing them nor demeaning them.

All of Lee’s characters were carefully nuanced and believable. Individuals like Sunja, Isak, Noa, Solomon, and Hansu came alive to me and continue to haunt me nearly a week since I finished the book. I was truly sad to come to the end of book. It was a beautiful read, one of the best books I’ve read in the past three or four years. I highly recommend it!

Entrega rápida, buenas condiciones a pesar de no traer celofán protector.
En cuanto a la trama del libro:
4/5☆
Muy buena historia y narrativa, atención a detalles y su redacción permite al lector comprender aspectos específicos del país y su historia. Los personajes aparecen y desaparecen causando un poco de confusión en cuanto a qué pasa con ellos; sin embargo, una vez procesada la historia, así es la vida. Personas entran y salen sin un final de nuestras vidas y la escritora lo plasma de una manera muy sutil.
Conforme avanzas en el libro la historia se vuelve algo lenta, pero vale la pena continuar con la lectura.

This book is so deep and so detailed. Shows the lives of characters through a certain point in japanese/korean history. So meaningful to tell peoples stories and explain feelings/thoughts/emotions in a way that otherwise would be lost or not as clearly understood or defined. Every single character is truly unique and has a tale to tell. So many different viewpoints. A must read to appreciate the context.

I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a book this much! The story of Sunja and her family was so moving and multifaceted. There were a few plot twists I didn't see coming and every character was so well written and contributed to the story. I really really really loved it and picked it up whenever I could.
