Plot

Lee Han-bok, Choe Chil-seong, and Jang Chi-deok cultivate the wasteland in Gando and lead their lives in their own ways. Although the Chinese community in Gando makes various demands, such as forcing Korean men to wear their hair in a queue, Koreans hang on to their “national spirit.” Centering on the Lee Han-bok family, this novel tells the history of Koreans immigrating to and pioneering Gando, including the Gando Convention, the establishment of Manchukuo, and the history of the anti-Japanese independence struggle in Gando.

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

This is a novel by An Sugil. Parts 1, 2, and three were published in Sasanggye in 1959, 1961, and 1963 respectively, and Parts 4 and 5 were published in book form in 1967. Instead of focusing on one protagonist, this novel is an epic that deals with the fate and history of the nation as a whole. It is recognized for providing a comprehensive and dynamic look into the flow of modern Korean history and the history of national suffering through the family history spanning three generations.

1부는 1959년 , 2부는 1961년, 3부는 1963년 <사상계>에, 4부와 5부는 1967년 전작형태로 발표된 안수길의 장편소설이다. 특정한 주인공의 이야기가 아니라 민족 전체의 운명과 역사를 다룬 대서사시다. 3대에 걸친 가족사를 통해 한국 근대사, 민족 수난사의 흐름을 역동적으로 조망해냈다는 평가를 받는다.
