Hardback. Zustand: Good. An Economist, Financial Times and Sunday Times Best Book of 2025 "Hu Anyan's I Deliver Parcels in Beijing, translated by Jack Hargreaves, offers an unvarnished dispatch from the front lines of the gig economy.The Cinderella bit of it is that now he can add a new title: internationally best-selling author." --Leah Greenblatt, The New York Times Book Review A runaway bestseller in China, sold in 20+ countries, this delightfully honest and humorous account gives a face and voice to the future of work--as if Nomadland met Nickel and Dimed. In 2023, I Deliver Parcels in Beijing became the literary sensation of the year in China. Hu Anyan's story, about short-term jobs in various anonymous megacities, hit a nerve with a generation of young people who feel at odds with an ever-growing pressure to perform and succeed. Hu started posting essays about his experiences online during COVID lockdowns. His recollection of night shifts in a huge logistics center in the south of China went viral: his nights were so hot that he could drink three liters of water without taking a toilet break; his days were spent searching for affordable rooms with proper air-conditioning; and his few moments of leisure were consumed by calculations of the amount of alcohol needed to sleep but not feel drowsy a few hours later. Hu Anyan tells us about brutal work, where there is no real future in sight. But Hu is armed with deadpan humor and a strong idea of self. He moves on when he feels stuck--from logistics in the south, to parcel delivery in Beijing, to other impossible jobs. Along the way, he turns to reading and writing for strength and companionship. I Deliver Parcels in Beijing is an honest and startling first-person portrait of Hu Anyan's struggle against the dehumanizing nature of our contemporary global work system--and his discovery of the power of sharing a story. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A witty and humane account of one man, multiple jobs and what it means to liveA Book of the Year in the Guardian, Sunday Times, Economist and the Financial TimesShortlisted for the Baifang Schell Book Prize: Award for Outstanding Non-FictionHu AnYan has held nineteen different jobs since he graduated. Hes been a convenience store clerk, a bicycle salesman, a security guard and a delivery driver (among many other things). Every time the work gets punishing or the bosses too bossy, he moves on, from city to city, carrying with him nothing but his copies of Chekhov and Carver. This is his story.A runaway bestseller in China, I Deliver Parcels in Beijing is about what its like to try and make a living and stay sane in the gig economy. From the pecking order on a parcel-sorting factory floor to the perfect alcohol dose to get some daylight shut-eye before a punishing night shift, from the Kafkaesque bureaucracy of the hiring departments to the ideal layout of a delivery route, Hu illuminates the hidden lives behind the roles that keep our world going. But he also shows how, through the liberating power of literature, he finds solace, and even freedom in his existence.Quietly radical, brimming with humanity and humour, this book asks: what does work really mean? What should it mean? And do any of us really know how to live? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿EXISTE UNA MANERA DE GANARSE LA VIDA SIN DEJAR DE VIVIR? El repartidor de paquetes lector de Chéjov y Carver que ha conquistado a millón y medio de lectores con su historia Fenómeno internacional en quince países y uno de los mejores libros del año según The Guardian , The Economist y The Sunday Times «El idioma puede ser el chino, pero el agotamiento es global». The New Statesman El autor de este libro no es escritor. O no lo era hasta que el relato de su vida encadenando trabajos precarios en las megaciudades de China se convirtió en un fenómeno editorial. Hu Anyan ha tenido diecinueve empleos distintos desde que se graduó: repartidor de paquetes, guardia de seguridad, dependiente. . . Cada vez que uno de ellos se volvía insoportable, lo dejaba y cambiaba de ciudad, llevando siempre consigo obras de sus autores favoritos. Chéjov, Carver o Foster Wallace eran las ventanas por las que entraba aire mientras intentaba sobrevivir en un sistema que nunca fue diseñado para sostenernos. Con su voz sin adornos, su capacidad de observación y un delicado sentido del humor, Hu ilumina las vidas invisibles tras los oficios que mantienen el mundo en marcha, pero también muestra cómo, gracias a la literatura, encontró consuelo e incluso una forma de libertad. Esta obra se interroga sobre el sentido del trabajo mientras plantea una pregunta más acuciante a lo largo de toda la narración: ¿acaso alguno de nosotros sabe de verdad cómo vivir? «Hipnótica [. . . ]. El repartidor de Pekín es silenciosamente revolucionaria simplemente porque trata las minucias del trabajo como algo importante. La pesadilla burocrática de conseguir que una empresa dé de alta a un nuevo empleado; la tendencia de los motocarros eléctricos de reparto a averiarse; la incomodidad de entregar paquetes en pleno frío, pero teniendo que llevar guantes sin dedos para poderteclear en la pantalla del móvil: que todo esto pueda ser el tema de un libro resulta casi revelador». The Washington Post «Ofrece un testimonio sin adornos desde las trincheras de la economía de plataformas, escrito por alguien que ha desempeñado casi todos los trabajos mal pagados y poco gratificantes del mercado. El giro de cuento de hadas es que ahora puede añadir un nuevo título: autor superventas internacional». The New York Times Book Review «Uno de los nuevos talentos literarios más notables de China». Financial Times «Poderoso. [. . . ] El libro es una crítica implacable de un sistema terrible, aunque Anyan encuentra humor y dignidad incluso en sus momentos más sombríos». The Guardian «Hu Anyan es un observador fascinante». The Economist «Hipnótica [y] silenciosamente revolucionaria». The Washington Post *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.…
