Yi Kwang-su (1892-1950) is the pioneer of Korean literature at the turn of the 20th century, when the country was under Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945). Although he was known as a great novelist, he also wrote many poems and essays. "Kashil" and Best Essays contain one short story and seven essays, chosen and translated by his daughter, Dr. Lee Chung-Nan. Lee received her doctorate in English Literature from New York University and taught English literature at various colleges and universities before she turned to the law profession. From the perspective of an English scholar, she chose her father's seven best essays. I can feel the love of her father.
