A Ready Made Life is the first volume of early modern Korean fiction to appear in English in the U.S. Written between 1921 and 1943, the sixteen stories are an excellent introduction to the riches of modern Korean fiction. They reveal a variety of settings, voices, styles, and thematic concerns, and the best of them, masterpieces written mainly in the mid-1930s, display an impressive artistic maturity. Included among these authors are Hwang Sun-won, modern Korea's greatest short story writer; Kim Tong-in, regarded by many as the author who best captures the essence of the Korean identity; Ch'ae Man-shik, a master of irony; Yi Sang, a prominent modernist; Kim Yu-jong, whose stories are marked by a unique blend of earthy humor and compassion; Yi Kwang-su and Kim Tong-ni, modernizers of the language of twentieth-century Korean fiction; and Yi Ki-yúng, Yi T'ae-jun, and Pak T'ae-won, three writers who migrated to North Korea shortly after Liberation in 1945 and whose works were subsequently banned in South Korea until democratization in the late 1980s. One way of reading the stories, all of which were written during the Japanese occupation, is that beneath their often oppressive and gloomy surface lies an anticolonial subtext. They can also be read as a collective record of a people whose life choices were severely restricted, not just by colonization, but by education (either too little or too much, as the title story shows) and by a highly structured society that had little tolerance for those who overstepped its boundaries. Life was unremittingly onerous for many Koreans during this period, whatever their social background. In the stories, educated city folk fare little better than farmers and laborers. https://www.abebooks.com/9780824820718/Ready-Made-Life-Early-Masters-Modern-0824820711/plp

This anthology compiles 10 works of modern Korean fiction, including “Geumsuhoeuirok” (금수회의록 Minutes of the Meeting of Animals) by Ahn Gukseon (1878-1926). The word “fantasy” in the title is a concept not entirely unrelated to politics, and the explanatory notes toward the end of the book highlights that the word “fantasy” describes stories that made use of metaphors at a time when it was difficult to directly express political opinions.

Korea in den 20er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts. Die Zeit ist aufregend, eine Periode des Umbruchs. Seit 1910 ist Korea japanische Kolonie, die Provinz Chōsen. Die Transformation der gesamten Gesellschaft ist in vollem Gange, als Hijun – Hauptfigur des Romans und in vielerlei Hinsicht Alter Ego des Autors – in seinem Heimatdorf eintrifft und sich begeistert daran macht, die Bauern für die neuen Ideen der Modernisierung zu begeistern. Ernüchterung ist vorprogrammiert, wenn mit jahrhundertealten Traditionen gebrochen werden soll. Den unschätzbaren Wert des Romans macht die plastische und realitätsnahe Schilderung des bäuerlichen Lebens jener Zeit aus. Wenn die Bedeutung der zur Kolonialzeit entstandenen Literatur darin liege, eine Antwort auf die Herausforderungen der damaligen Zeit zu liefern, dann sei, so urteilte ein südkoreanischer Literaturkritiker unlängst, Yi Kiyongs Roman Heimat (Ko-hyang 고향, 故鄉) ein Werk, das jene Periode in aller Schärfe widerspiegle. In Fortsetzungen wurde Heimat ab November 1933 zunächst in der koreanischen Tageszeitung Chosun Ilbo abgedruckt und erschien 1936 als Buchausgabe. 1955 brachte der Autor eine leicht uuml;berarbeitete Fassung in Nordkorea heraus, wohin er 1946 einer Einladung Kim Il Sungs folgend übergesiedelt war. 2005 erschien der Roman in einer auf dem Fortsetzungsroman und der Buchausgabe von 1936 basierenden Neuauflage in Südkorea, der die vorliegende Übersetzung folgt.   Source: http://www.amazon.de/Heimat-Roman-Koreanischen-Heike-Hoon/dp/3940527564

Proletarian writing dominated the colonial Korean literary scene from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s and left a lasting legacy in the later, post-1945 literatures of North and South Korea. Rat Fire: Korean Stories from the Japanese Empire brings together thirteen short stories by colonial Korean writers, as well as two works written in 1946 under U.S. military occupation. Political cartoons, illustrations, newspaper clippings, and photographs--over sixty included in the volume--place the works of Korean writers in close conversation with the rich history of colonial proletarian visual culture. This anthology moves across verbal and visual media and geographical borders, following characters making their way through disintegrating rural areas and flourishing colonial urban centers, from the alluring margins of the Japanese metropole to the expanding Manchurian frontier. Rat Fire: Korean Stories from the Japanese Empire broadens and complicates the definition of the colonial Korean proletarian culture movement. In this volume, writers and artists confront the shifting boundaries of ethnicity/race, class, and culture that were reconfiguring both colonial Korea and the Japanese metropolitan center in the context of global imperialism in the first half of the twentieth century. Contributing translators: Ruth Barraclough, Mee Chang, Kimberly Chung, Bruce Fulton, Ju-Chan Fulton, Theodore Hughes, Young-Ji Kang, I Jonathan Kief, Ross King, Jin-kyung Lee, Samuel Perry, Christina Yi   Source : http://www.amazon.com/Rat-Fire-Korean-Stories-Japanese/dp/1933947675

一直以來我對這個世界都是逆來順受，不管怎樣，我都努力做到這一點。 就連我的母親、妻子即使粉身碎骨也堅持努力，只為了活下去。 然而，世界欺騙了我們…… 自十九世紀中葉以來，在世界性帝國主義擴散的影響之下，東亞各國幾乎毫無例外的得面臨與西方碰撞的命運。日本殖民期間，朝鮮民眾持續展開抗爭行動，在文學方面出現過不同類型的作品，有呼籲愛國、抗爭、主張文明開化的文學類型；而自一九一九年三一獨立運動之後，日本政策的改變，有的作家被強制要求進行親日文學創作，有些作家則流亡海外，韓國文學面臨了嚴重的生存危機。本書收錄韓國作家的八部作品：在貧窮的陰影下，從監獄到鄉村，無論是詐欺、賭博，還是殺人，都少不了可悲的隱情；儘管許下擺脫命運的宏願，最終也落得一場空。他們的創作生命或長或短、各自坎坷，但都以自己手上的那隻筆，為時代留下極富開創性與震撼力的作品。   本書援引韓國抗日詩人尹東柱的著名詩句作為書名：「我該以歌詠星星的心情，來愛一切將死之物，然後走上，我所被賦予之路。今夜，風也吹過了星星」，一方面呈現作家的掙扎拉扯與求生之路，也期待讀者看見文學史上那些未曾被鄭重對待的耀眼繁星：戰前殖民地時期韓國文學是「傳統與現代共存，又共同競爭」的大師巨匠時代，也因為臺灣與韓國共同的歷史經驗，藉此，我們可以掌握東亞近代的發展，開拓文學所需要肩負的局勢與眼光。     source : https://www.books.com.tw/products/0010846997
