The book of Korean ShijoEnglish(English) Funded by LTI Korea Available
Choi Chung et al / 최충 / 2002 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Korean Poetry > Sijo
The Korean genre known as shijo is short song lyrics. Originally meant to be sung rather than recited, these short poems are light, personal, and very often conversational. The language is simple, direct, and devoid of elaboration or ornamentation. The shijo poet gives a firsthand account of his personal experience of life and emotion: the rise and fall of dynasties, friendship, love, parting, the pleasures of wine, the beauty and transience of life, the inexorable advance of old age. In this anthology of translations of 612 shijo, Kevin O'Rourke introduces the English reader to this venerable and witty style of verse. The anthology covers the entire range of shijo production from the tenth century to the modern era.

La poesía coreana es poco conocida en el mundo de habla hispana. La antología de poesía coreana, antigua y moderna, que aquí nos ofrece el doctor Yong-Tae Min, cubre en gran medida esta necesidad de conocimiento y nos ofrece un amplio y variado panorama histórico de los principales autores y estilos. Sin pretender ser exhaustiva, sí es bastante representativa de las voces de este "lejano oriente" que cada vez está más cercano. A través del océano Pacífico se está construyendo un puente cultural con obras como ésta, que aproximan dos continentes hermanos, América y Asia, salvando el difícil obstáculo de las diferentes lingüísticas y culturales y rescatando lo escencial: el convivio a través de la palabra poética.

The Crane in the Clouds: ShijoEnglish(English) Funded by LTI Korea Available
Choi Chung et al / 최충 et al / 2013 / -
This anthology presents well over a hundred Korean classical poems known as shijo, in English translation. Shijo, a form of poetic composition still very much alive, has a tradition spanning a thousand years. One of the first historical anthologies of shijo in English, this book offers an overview of that uniquely Korean poetic legacy. Composed in the vernacular and written down in hangǔl, the Korean phonograms, shijo asserts its national identity, which hanshi, composed in the classical Chinese ideograms, ostensibly may not. Sung-Il Lee's English rendition of shijo captures the rhythmic flow of the original lines in Korean, while remaining true to the sound quality and the poetic message contained therein. Although the book is meant for the general readers, students of Korean language and literature will find it helpful, as it provides parallel texts-the Korean original and its English rendition. About the translator: Sung-Il Lee was born in 1943 in Seoul, Korea. He studied English literature at Yonsei University (B.A., 1967), the University of California at Davis (M.A., 1973) and Texas Tech University (Ph.D., 1980), and taught at Yonsei University (1981-2008). He also taught as a visiting professor at the University of Toronto (1987), the University of Washington (1994-1995), and Troy University (2002-2003). He is now Professor Emeritus at Yonsei University. His publication includes The Wind and the Waves: Four Modern Korean Poets (1989), The Moonlit Pond: Korean Classical Poems in Chinese (1998), The Brush and the Sword: Kasa, Korean Classical Poems in Prose (2009), Blue Stallion: Poems of Yu Chi-whan (2011) and Beowulf and Four Related Old English Poems: A Verse Translation with Explanatory Notes (2010). He received the Republic of Korea Literary Award (1990) and the Korean Literature Translation Award (1999), both given by the Korean Culture and Arts Foundation.

В антологию вошли стихи корейских поэтов, создававшиеся в период глубокой древности, когда на земле Кореи существовало легендарное государство Чосон, до XVI века н.э. За некоторой недосказанностью текстов открывается "красота воздержания" классической корейской поэзии. Source : https://www.moscowbooks.ru/book/706995/

Дальневосточная лирика много стихотворений посвятила теме уединения среди "гор и рек". В корейской классической поэзии на китайском языке - ханмуне, тоже немалое место занимают традиционные мотивы "ухода к полям и садам" и переживания поэтом своего слияния с миром "ветра и потока", но и пейзажной лирике Кореи тема "человек и природа" может быть дана совсем иначе. Природа окружает человека, и поэт здесь не участник, а заинтересованный наблюдатель - "гость". В поле его зрения оказывается то отдельный предмет, то целая картина. Поэт-художник берёт кисть и делает словесную зарисовку того, что привлекло его внимание. Так появляется стихотворение-рисунок, ведь иероглифы и их расположение в пространстве стиха - тоже картинка, и чтобы сотворить её, требуется особое мастерство. К сожалению, "иероглифический рисунок" невозможно отобразить в русском переводе, но всё же... Большая часть переводов стихотворений, включённых в сборник, публикуется впервые.
