Plot

Goraebawi (Whale Rock) on top of the mountain range dreams of going to the sea. It is split in two by lightning and washed away by the rain. Goraebawi, which has become a flat and broad rock, gradually erodes away into a small stone as it heads to the sea.

Descriptions(Languages 2)

  • Korean(한국어)

This is a fable written by Lee Soon-won, published in 2012. It explains the way of  nature through the process of Goraebawi reaching the sea. It is praised as a work that heals the soul through reflection on natural phenomena.

2012년에 출간된 이순원의 창작 우화다. 고래바위가 바다에 이르는 과정을 통해서 자연의 섭리를 알려준다. 자연현상에 대한 성찰을 통해 인간의 영혼을 치유하는 작품이라는 평을 받는다.
