    Preeminent scholar and translator David R. McCann presents an anthology of his own translations of works ranging across the major genres and authors of Korean writing―stories, legends, poems, historical vignettes, and other works―and a set of critical essays on major themes. A brief history of traditional Korean literature orients the reader to the historical context of the writings, thus bringing into focus this rich literary tradition. The anthology of translations begins with the Samguk sagi, or History of the Three Kingdoms, written in 1145, and ends with "The Story of Master Hô," written in the late 1700s. Three exploratory essays of particular subtlety and lucidity raise interpretive and comparative issues that provide a creative, sophisticated framework for approaching the selections. https://www.amazon.com/Early-Korean-Literature-David-McCann/dp/023111947X

    King Juri et al / 유리왕 et al / 2001 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Complete Collection > Library > Complete Collection & Library (more than 2 writers)

    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.

    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.   Source : https://www.abebooks.com/9781931907927/Crane-Clouds-Shijo-Korean-Classical-1931907927/plp
