    Le Hong Kiltong chon (écrit vers 1608-1613), malgré sa minceur, occupe une place considérable dans la littérature coréenne. Il est généralement considéré comme le premier roman coréen à part entière, en ceci au moins qu'il utilise l'alphabet autochtone et non plus les caractères chinois. Mais il est beaucoup plus que cela. Cette biographie fictive d'un fils d'aristocrate et d'une servante, donc d'un bâtard, touche à tous les aspects de la pensée et de la société coréennes du temps. Là où l'idéologie néo-confucéenne confite depuis des siècles interdit aux fils illégitimes de prétendre à toute carrière, Ho Kyun, pourtant produit parfait de cette société, plaide pour la supériorité de la valeur sur la naissance. Son héros, qui n'a pas même le droit d'appeler «père» son propre père, se révolte, fuit la capitale et prend la tête d'une troupe de brigands qui mettent à sac le pays. Aidés en cela par les pouvoirs fantastiques dont le taoïsme a doté notre héros. Lequel finira par quitter la Corée avec son armée, pour aller bâtir une sorte de paradis confucéen dans l'«océan du sud». Ce faisant, Ho Kyun en profite pour régler ses comptes avec la politique du temps, en particulier avec l'incapacité de la cour à défendre le pays contre les invasions japonaises.   Source: http://livre.fnac.com/a1036642/Ho-Kyun-L-histoire-de-hong-kiltong

    Hong Kiltong, discriminato dalla società del tempo perchè figlio illegittimo di un ministro e di una serva, lascia la casa paterna e decide di unirsi a una banda di briganti della quale diviene il capo indiscusso. Con i suoi uomini compie imprese audaci e clamorose, ai danni di funzionari e istituzioni corrotti. Il governo cerca di catturarlo ma egli rimane inafferrabile. Amato dal popolo come un eroe, rinuncia all'incarico di ministro della guerra a lui proposto dal sovrano in cambio dell'abbandono di ogni attività criminosa e lascia la Corea per l'isola di Yul, dove fonda una società ideale secondo l'etica confuciana, retta dai princìpi dell'onestà e della giustizia.     Source:http://www.amazon.it/Hong-Kiltong-Il-brigante-confuciano/dp/8887510180

    Hong Kilton, a la manera de Tristán o Amadís de Gaula, es un héroe legendario de la literatura coreana. Concebida entre finales del siglo XVI y la primera década del XVII, es la primera novela coreana escrita en la lengua autóctona. Desde 1443 los coreanos dispusieron de un alfabeto, el hangul, que les permitió prescindir del uso tradicional del chino.   SOURCE : http://www.verbumeditorial.com/es/libreria/Catalog/show/la-historia-de-hong-kiltong-el-heroe-confuciano-193949

    A new, definitive translation of the quintessential Korean classic: the Robin Hood story of a magical boy who joins a group of robber bandits and becomes a king The Story of Hong Gildong is arguably the single most important work of classic Korean fiction. A fantastic story of adventure, it has been adapted into countless movies, television shows, novels, and comics in Korea. Until now, the earliest and fullest text of this incredible fable has been inaccessible to English readers. Hong Gildong, the brilliant but illegitimate son of a noble government minister, cannot advance in society due to his second-class status, so he leaves home and becomes the leader of a band of outlaws. On the way to building his own empire and gaining acceptance from his family, Hong Gildong vanquishes assassins, battles monsters, and conquers kingdoms. Minsoo Kang’s expressive and lively new translation finally makes the authoritative text of this premodern tale available in English, reintroducing a noble and righteous outlaw and sharing a beloved hallmark of Korean culture.
