    Yom Sang-Seop / 염상섭 / 2006 / -

    "The novel, filled with gossip and family intrigue as scandalous as any contemporary soap opera, reads deliciously like a Dostoevsky novel or 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' meets Korea's traditional middle class."- 'KoreAm Magazine' 'Three Generations' charts the tensions in the Jo family in 1930s Japanese-occupied Seoul. One of Korea's most important works of fiction, 'Three Generations' gave birth to naturalism in Korean literature and remains a mandatory read for Korean high school students.

    Ch`ae Man-Sik et al / 채만식 et al / 1998 / -

    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

  • Могила
    Russian(Русский) Book Available

    Yom Sang-seop et al / 염상섭 / 2009 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Korean Fiction > 20th century

    В основе сюжета повести лежит описание путешествия главного героя, Ли Ин Хва, из Японии в Корею по маршруту Токио - Пусан - Кимчхон - Ёнгдонг - Тэджон - Сеул. Автор изображает действительность колониального государства, разложение корейского общества, образно названного в произведении кишащей червями могилой . Все это удивительным образом сочетается с другой линией - духовным перерождением главного героя, его постепенным отходом от идеологии чувственных удовольствий к стремлению осознать место личности в обществе и познать истинный смысл жизни. Произведение заставит современного читателя задуматься над этими философскими проблемами. Для широкого круга читателей.     Source: http://www.bookler.ru/bookbuy/21/298257.shtml

  • On the eve of the uprising and other stories from colonial Korea
    English(English) Book

    Yom Sang-seop et al / 염상섭 / 2010 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Korean Fiction > 20th century

    From a patriot's indignant cry to a dandy's playful soliloquy to an exrevolutionary's forlorn musing, the collection's diverse literary voices give a powerful representation to the richness, complexity, and vigor of Korean intellectual and cultural life under Japanese imperialism. Collected here are the first-time English translations of six classic stories from colonial Korea (1919-1945) as well as the time of liberation (1945-1948). Each piece takes a different perspective on a defining process in Korean history---the colonization and modernizatic under Japanese rule---and chorally, the volume demonstrates the rich variety of registers, settings, styles, and thematic concerns that characterized the literary production of early modern Korean The editor's introduction places the collection in the context of modern Korean literary history, and short biographies precede each story. In its judicious selection of classic texts, On the Eve of the Uprising and Other Stories from Colonial Korea offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore the intellectual complexity and artistic richness of colonial Korean literatures.
