    在這種世界,嚴錫大一定又會擔任班長──我敢這樣斷定。功課的名次、打架的名次都由他操縱,他的欲望可以隨時得到滿足。有時候,我還會夢見回到以前那個班級,與錫大一起分享特權的情況,夢醒時,我竟然十分惋惜……如果成功是世俗的,那麼我有預感,我的人生之路必定是失敗的……這看起來只是一場孩子之間的戰爭。韓秉泰轉學到鄉下,他本來懷著漢城小孩的優越感,以為自己一定可以成為班上同學的領袖,結果卻發現班上有個「老大」嚴錫大,不但班上同學會倒水給他喝、奉上食物和玩具,連導師都默許嚴錫大在班上建立的權威,因為這個建立在拳頭和威脅的王國比任何其他班都要遵守秩序,整潔而完美。但是韓秉泰不想屈服,在他幼小的心靈裡,這是一場對抗。他決定要抓住嚴錫大的小辮子,推翻他不合理的「統治」。但是他不知道自己在這場對抗裡,要付出什麼樣的代價……這是韓國最受歡迎的作家李文烈所寫的寓言故事...     Source: http://book.douban.com/subject/1347446/

    To represent the past century of Korean fiction, this definitive collection extends beyond familiar writers, challenges cultural norms, and crosses political borders. By inlcuding stories from neglected female, North Korean, and wolbuk writers (those who migrated to the North after 1945 and whose works were widely banned in South Korea) and by bringing politically engaged works together with experimental ones, this anthology articulates the ruptures and resolutions that have makred the peninsula. From sketches of desperate peasants in straitened circumstances to fast-moving, visceral tales of contemporary South Korea, the works in this collection bear witness to the dramatic transformations and events in twentieth-century Korean history, including Japanese colonial rule, civil war, and economic modernization in the South. The writers explore these developments through a variety of literary and political lenses, revealing wtih precision and poignancy their impact on Korean society and the lives of ordinary Koreans. This anthology includes an introduction, which synthesizes the key developments in modern Korean literature, and a comprehensive bibliography of Korean fiction in translation   http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Korean-Fiction-Bruce-Fulton/dp/0231135130/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1437532411&sr=1-1&keywords=0231135130&pebp=1437532414313&perid=141FNT9TFYXDV5YFBXBV

    Without question, literature is the best place to start knowing and understanding one another. For isn't there a real fascinating connection between writers and place - where people come from and where they go? A very large part of a nation's writing is the story of its roots in a place and when Koreans come to our country, they bring with them the story of their roots in Korea.     Source: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9813879-reading-korea
