Peek into a multitude of lives through the lens of a small photo studio
By Her Taeyeon, Shanna Tan (Translator)
On the last day of her trip on Jeju Island, Jebi loses everything — her phone, credit cards, and plane ticket. Wandering through a fishing village, she stumbles across a tiny photo studio, where she ends up working. There, she finds purpose, connection, and magic through the lives she captures on film, from an elderly ex-cop haunted by questions from his past to the Jeju haenyeos, a group of local women freedivers who gather sea urchins.
Reshape the global narrative through risk-taking
On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything
By Nate Silver
On the Edge reveals the hidden world of the River — the community of poker legends, hedge fund titans, and crypto speculators who move markets and change the fabric of society. High stakes, high IQ, and often high on their own mythologies, they are driving the next era of finance, tech, and politics. But what happens when their bets go too far? A gripping ride through the minds shaping the future, this bestseller is a front-row seat to a new world order built on risk, maths, and ambition.
