This novel reconstructs the life of Kim Byeong-yeon, a poet of the late Joseon Dynasty, widely known as “Kim Sat-gat” in Korea. It chronologically presents the life of the poet, who was pushed to the margins due to the circumstances of the time.

This is a novel by Yi Mun-yol, published in 1991. It presents the life and poetry of Kim Sat-gat like a biography, and takes on the atmosphere of a classic Korean novel. This novel provides a fresh interpretation of Kim Sat-gat's life in relation to the political situation of the time by appropriately mixing folktales, historical records, and fictional imagination.

1991년 출간된 이문열의 장편소설이다. 이 작품은 김삿갓의 삶과 시를 평전처럼 구성하고 있으며, 고전 소설과 같은 분위기를 취하고 있다. 설화와 기록, 허구를 적절히 섞어가며 김삿갓의 삶을 당대의 정치 상황과 관련하여 새롭게 해석하고 있다고 평가된다.
