1993년에 출간된 안정효의 장편소설이다.  작품은 베트남전에 참전했던 주인공을 퉁해 전쟁의 참상과 아무도 책임지지 않는 민간인의 죽음을 고발하고 있다. 국가 간의 전쟁에서 허무하게 목숨을 잃는 것은 민간인, 그 중에서도 가난한 민중들 뿐임을 작가는 여러 인간의 군상을 통해 보여주며 참혹했던 전쟁터를 보여주고 있다.

This novel by Ahn Junghyo was published in 1993. Through its protagonist, a Korean soldier fighting in the Vietnam War, it gives a searing account of the horrors of that war and the lack of accountability. In particular, it shows how civilians – and the poorest among them – suffer the most in war, losing their lives in vain in a conflict between nations.
