吴贞姬一如她的作品，有着鲜明的个性，也可以说是“奇特”的作家。她用抒情的文体，创造性地回忆过去的记忆，并通过它探索存在的深渊。本书是她的自选集，囊括了近年来的创作精华，包括《老井》、《空旷的原野》、《晨星》等。 吴贞姬又是韩国作家当中作品译介到国外最多的作家之一。她的作品被译成英语、法语、西班牙语、日语等多种语言出版。其中翻译成德文的中篇小说《鸟》荣获德车主要文学奖之一的“Li Beraturpreis奖”，这是一个德国专为亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲国家优秀女作家设立的奖项。吴贞姬成为韩国获外国文学奖的第一人。 吴贞姬外表端庄娴雅，是典型的优雅夫人相。她的丈夫原为国立江原大学的校长，最近改任江原道国营新闻媒体的负责人。这么一个看起来幸福、悠闲的女人，怎么会有切肤之痛，表现出深深关切平民百姓，特别是受歧视、受压抑的平民女性的真实生活和内心世界的作品呢?她的作品令人唏嘘，令人回味，我想这跟她的生活经历密不可分。吴贞姬出生于1947年，幼年时期经历了朝鲜战争。那血与火的战争的记忆，还有战争刚刚结束时，在仁川为美军服务的妓女村附近的种种惨况，在年幼的吴贞姬的心里刻下了深深的烙印，令她一辈子抖落不掉痛苦又痛心的回忆。     Source: http://product.dangdang.com/20094031.html

Reprezentativní výbor korejské povídkové tvorby 20. století. Antologie obsahuje 14 povídek od 13 autorů, z nichž každý je uveden medailonem s životopisnými daty a charakteristikou umělecké tvorby. Obsáhlá zasvěcená předmluva načrtává vývoj korejské moderní literatury na pozadí historických souvislostí. Témata povídek jsou různorodá: souboj tradiční morálky s moderním životem, sociální problémy, deziluze generace 60. let, láska a samota ženy, život lidí na okraji společnosti, morální hodnoty. Povídky mají, s nemalým přispěním fundovaných překladatelů, vysokou uměleckou úroveň. Po knize sáhne především náročnější čtenář; jeho odměnou bude zážitek ze sugestivních autorských výpovědí a zajímavé nahlédnutí do korejské mentality.   Source: http://www.databazeknih.cz/knihy/tvare-a-osudy-moderni-korejske-povidky-90109

Korea was an arduous and painstaking place to live in after the nation's civil war. Incheon, one of the war's most famous backdrops, provides the setting for Chinatown, the story of life in one of the ubiquitous shantytown areas that dotted the Korean landscape at the time, and is a painfully real account of what many suffered through. It is also a grim tale of how Koreans, American soldiers and Chinese vendors failed to understand each other on any meaningful level. Part of the Modern Korean Short Stories Series.

Lee Seung-u / 이승우 / 2005 / -

Bak Bugil's father is a genius. Everyone expects him to pass the civil service examination and become a judge - except that he hasn't been seen since he left to study in Seoul. Bak lives with his mother and his father's relatives. At the end of a path at the back of the house is a persimmon tree and a ramshackle hut. Children are forbidden to go near the tree, but Bak makes repeated incursions to collect its fruit until a chance encounter with the hut's inhabitant changes his life for ever. Years later a journalist is asked to write about Bak, now one of South Korea's most original writers, and decides to reconstruct the author's childhood through an examination of his stories, novels and interviews. Yet when he meets Bak it becomes clear that the author finds such recollections traumatic. At the stratum of his earliest memories, firmly lodged like a fossil, is a face lonely and dark. The journalist knows that if he is to penetrate Bak's psyche he must first confront that face. In this partially autobiographical novel Lee Seung-U explores his roots. A theology graduate, he mixes together the notion of original sin rooted in the subconscious and its accompanying sense of insecurity, as well as the idea of a distant God who only occasionally extends a helping hand, to reveal how the conflict of the secular and the divine manifests itself in the real world.
