1981년 <주간 한국>에 연재된 김홍신의 장편소설이다. 이 작품은 1980년대 당시 사회적, 정치적으로 암울했던 당대의 세태를 고발하고 부조리에 정면으로 대항함으로써 독자들에게 큰 인기를 끌었다.

This novel by Kim Hongshin was originally serialized in Weekly Korea in 1981, and it was loved by readers and critics alike for its honest and realistic depictions of political oppression and injustice in the 1980s.
