Two Masters of Modern Literature Who Spent Their Entire Lives Completely Immersed in Their Works

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑩] Two Masters of Modern Literature Who Spent Their Entire Lives Completely Immersed in Their Works Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do: Kim Hongshin House andGanggyeong Mountain Salt Literary House   2025.02.17   Any city has a history that builds up over time, like the rings of an old tree. Cities grow and transform like organisms, and along the way, they develop many stories. Those stories, in turn, are the source of an area’s image, energy, and sentiment. Nonsan-si, located in the hinterland of Chungcheongnam-do, is home to many cultural heritage sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Donam Seowon, Jonghagdang, and Myeongjae Historic House. There are also many other attractions, such as the beautiful Ganggyeong Port, which still retains traces of its prosperity through the years of modernization, and Tapjeong Reservoir and Suspension Bridge, where you can experience the feeling of walking on a lake. These places w...

Timeless Wisdom, Ageless Class

One-Liner Quotes   Timeless Wisdom, Ageless Class Music Critic’s Pick   2025.01.06   Park Jun-Heum is a popular music critic and curator. Since 1997, he has been involved in popular music media, festivals, research, education, and publishing. He recently published an interview collection featuring Uhm In-Ho and Ahn Chi-Hwan in the series Record of a Legend: The Artists Park Jun-Heum Met.   The winter’s cold and cloudy days are lingering on. Partly because of the weather, partly because of getting older, I think there is definitely a kind of depression that I have never experienced before. Maybe that’s why old politicians are so obsessed with power to counteract it. And maybe that’s the answer to the question, “What kind of wealth and honor do you expect at that age?”It may have little to do with wealth or glory, but here are two books that embody the enduring wisdom forged only by those who persevere daily through hardships, along wit...

Bringing Korean Voices to French Readers

Export Case   Bringing Korean Voices to French Readers   2024.12.02   Korean literature and Editions Picquier have a long story. We began publishing books from Asia nearly 40 years ago: Korea and its literature, virtually unknown in France at the time, have fascinated us from our earliest days. The first works we published - Kim Won Il’s Mr Lee’s Travel, KIM Song Dong’s Mandala, Yun Hung Kil’s The Mother - almost went unnoticed; it was challenging to bring readers into contact with a literature that was far removed from the habits and preoccupations of French readers. It was a literature that gave pride of place to cultural traditions, to the earth, to history. We thus decided to publish anthologies of short stories and essays to give French readers some reference points. This had a pedagogical purpose, establishing a foothold in Korean literature and presenting a more organized history to readers. More than 30 years ago, what was being published in France wa...

Dreaming of a Different Peace as We Depart from Houyhnhnms

Topic   Dreaming of a Different Peace as We Depart from Houyhnhnms   2024.08.05   The 2024 Seoul International Book Fair (SIBF) has concluded with great success. During the peak hours when the crowd surged, I found myself in a state of constant anxiety, hoping that everything would go smoothly.
