A Korean Literary Translator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   A Korean Literary Translator’s Pick   2022.06.07     When was the last time you read a book about environmental issues that wasn’t written by an American or a European? Calling South Korea a part of the Global South or the Global Majority would be a bit of a stretch at this point in history, but we still have a unique perspective to contribute to world environmental discourse as the first country in modern history to transition into an international donor nation. There are still millions of Koreans who remember what it was like to starve and have to prioritize economic growth over environmental sustainability. South Korea will always have something interesting to say in any economic growth discourse, and this book, a science bestseller in a nation full of scientists, is our latest hope for a consensus that will save the planet.The Earth Is Fine: It’s the Humans Who’re Doomed (Across Books) is by...

Korea’s Publishing Trend - The World Literature Complete Collection

Topic   Korea’s Publishing Trend- The World Literature Complete Collection   2022.05.02   At the end of a recently finished drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book titled I Like Early Summer written by Lee Na-Eun, was shown. The book does not exist in reality since it was a prop. The name Lee Na-Eun was the name of the drama's screenwriter. The book continuously shows itself as one of the key items connecting the main characters. It revealed itself in the last episode as a gift to viewers.Many viewers would have noticed that the book is similar to Minumsa Publishing Company's World Literature Series. The upper half is filled with a drawing, and the lower half is covered with a white background and a single-colored title. The cover's structure is a symbol of Minumsa's collection. The fact that people recognized the book by its cover shows how much Koreans are familiar with the collection.   In the drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book th...

Korean Publishers   Window of Times Pierce like a spear, reflect like a window, or sing like a singer   2025.06.02   Why do you make books? Every publisher will have a different answer to this question. Yet, every answer has its own value, and our lives are thus enriched.
