This is a novel by O Sae-young, published in 1993. When the revised edition was published in 2002, the time in which the work is set in, which had been divided into the 17th and 20th centuries, was compressed to in the mid-17th century in Europe and divided into three volumes. The story was inspired by the painting “Man in Korean Costume” by the Dutch painter Rubens and tells the story of a Korean merchant who succeeded in Italy.

1993년에 출간된 오세영의 장편소설이다. 2002년에 개정판을 출간하면서 17세기와 20세기로 나뉘어져 있던 작품의 시간적 배경을 17세기 중엽의 유럽으로 단일하게 압축하고 3권으로 나누어 구성하였다. 작가는 네덜란드의 화가 루벤스의 그림<한복입은 남자>에서 모티프를 얻어 이탈리아에서 성공한 한국인 상인의 이야기를 그렸다.
