This novel is a revised combination of the author’s two novellas, one of which was first published in three installments in Jogwang in 1936, and the other, first published in nine installments in the same journal in 1937. It paints the daily lives of about 30 residents of the area, and it is acclaimed as a masterpiece of Korean realist literature.

1936년 <조광>에 3회 연재한 중편과 이듬해 같은 잡지에 9회 연재한 중편을 단행본으로 출간하면서 개작한 장편소설이다. 주민 삼십여 명의 일상을 삽화 형식으로 다루고 있으며, 한국 리얼리즘 문학의 걸작이라 평가받는다.
