2003년 출간된 최인호의 장편소설이다. 2002년 중앙일보에 연재하다가 지면 사정으로 중단한 후, 단행본으로 출간한 것이다. 2004년 동명의 제목으로 드라마로 만들어졌다. 작품은 역사적으로 제대로 평가를 받지 못했던 삼국시대의 '장보고'의 일대기를 다루고 있다.

This novel by Choi In-ho was published in 2003. It was originally serialized in the Joongang Ilbo in 2002, but after being discontinued because of a lack of print space, it was published in book form. It was adapted into a television drama that aired in 2004. Set during the Three Kingdoms period, it is a fictionalized biography of the then-underappreciated figure of Jong Bogo.
