Letters from Korean History 2 - From the Later Three Kingdoms to Goryeo

Produktinformationen "Letters from Korean History 2 - From the Later Three Kingdoms to Goryeo"

The English version of Letters from Korean History is published for young readers overseas who are curious about Korea and its people, and for young Korean readers keen to learn more about their own history while improving their language skills as global citizens. I hope that readers will not feel obliged to start at the beginning of Volume I and plow all the way through; rather, each letter contains a historical episode in its own right, and can be chosen and read according to the reader’s particular area of interest. The text is complemented by plenty of photos and illustrations, giving a more vivid sense of history - reading the captions that accompany these should enhance the sense of historical exploration. -Park Eunbong Progressing from the stones and bones of prehistory all the way to the turbulent twentieth century in the course of five volumes, Letters from Korean History can be browsed as a reference text or plowed through from beginning to end. As with most histories that cover such a long period, the density of information increases as the narrative approaches the present. The relatively recent Joseon period, for example, accounts for two of the five volumes (III and IV), rich as it is in events and meticulously recorded historical data. Letters from Korean History has been a great success in its native country among Korean readers. I hope that this translation will now be of help to ethnic Koreans overseas, others interested in Korea or history in general, Koreans looking to study history and English at the same time, and anybody else who believes that exploring the past is a good way to try and make sense of the confusing, flawed and wonderful present. -Ben Jackson

A History of Korean Literature
한국문학사는 한국문학이 언제 어떻게 발생했으며 시대의 흐름에 따라 어떠한 과정을 거쳐 변화해 왔는지를 기술한 책이다. 이 책에서는 외국인이 이를 비교적 간명하게 파악할 수 있도록 문학사의 시기를 구분하고 시대적 배경을 기술한 후, 시기별 문학적 변화에 따른 주요 작가와 작품을 제시하였다. 특히 한국문학의 개념과 범위에 대한 논쟁도 적지 않으므로 이에 대한 기본적인 인식을 먼저 밝히고, 원시시대부터 1990년대까지 한국문학의 전반적 흐름을 개괄적으로 훑어나갔다. 또한 분단 이후 북한문학이 어떻게 전개되었는지를 살필 수 있도록 북한문학의 역사적 전개 과정을 간략하게나마 기술하여 한국문학의 총체적 이해가 가능하도록 하였다. 시기별로 한국문학사에 있어서 핵심적인 내용만을 언급하다보니 작품 인용이 매우 소략하거나 부족하여, 이를 보완하고자 각 장별로 말미에 〈한국문학 작품 읽기〉 부분을 두어 작품에 대한 이해를 도왔다.
