This is a novel by Kim Dong-in, serialized in The Chosun Ilbo from April 1933 to February  1934. This historical novel focuses on and heroizes Heungseon Daewongun, who seized power in late Joseon. It shows Kim Dong-in’s keen sense of history, as it presents a sharp image of the times in late Joseon.

1933년 4월부터 1934년 2월까지 <조선일보>에 연재된 김동인의 장편소설이다. 이 작품은 조선 말기에 집권했던 흥선대원군을 초점화하여 그를 영웅화한 역사소설이다. 조선 말기의 시대상을 날카롭게 제시했다는 점에서 김동인의 예리한 역사의식을 확인할 수 있다.
