It story is about a man who was tormented by ants infesting his house. He tries to get rid of the ants, but gradually he realizes that his life is similar to that of the ants. Eventually he sprinkles sugar all over his body and wants to sacrifice himself to be consumed by the ants.

Descriptions(Languages 2)
  • English(English)
  • Korean(한국어)

This book criticizes the dehumanized society of the modern times, where people live without individuality only for the sake of the organization.

각자의 개성이 없이 조직을 위해서만 살아가는 현대의 비인간화된 사회를 비판하는 작품.
