Looking Back on the 65th Seoul International Book Fair in 2022

Topic   Looking Back onthe 65th Seoul International Book Fair in 2022 From a Half Step to a Full Step   2022.08.01   In January 2020, the world slowly came to a stop. As people stopped moving around for fear of contaminating others with COVID-19, the speed and scale of people’s movement dwindled. Of course, that is what it seemed like from the surface. However, all living things never stop moving. Life is a vibrant movement. To stay alive, one has to rapidly absorb objects and energy from outside, consume them inside, and release them outside. One stops when not flowing. In other words, it might have seemed that the movement stopped from the outside, but the swirl of power coming from materials and energy grows stronger as the space they move in shrinks. Before that power breaks everything in the way, people must open up a path.For the past two years, the Seoul International Book Fair has tried to open up a small path for people who have stopped moving.

103-Year-Old Philosopher Kim Hyung-Seok

Special Project   [Korean Scholars ⑥] 103-Year-Old Philosopher Kim Hyung-Seok A Song of Happiness and Hope by a Sage in His 100s   2022.06.07   Living up to 100 years has become common in modern society. We are now preparing for a world in which people live even longer than 100 years. However, a 100-year life might not always be a blessing or joyful experience since how well we spend those years matters as well. This is an overwhelming task since we don’t have any established guidelines on how to prepare for the time when life expectancy exceeds 100. That is probably why we turn to Professor Kim Hyung-Seok, who is leading a successful life in his 100s as an intellectual and a “true grown-up.” Let us explore the inspiring life of Mr. Kim, who is enjoying longevity in his own productive way and teaching us what it is like to lead a happy life as a responsible adult.       A Contemplation on the Journey towards Dying-Wel...

SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd.

Korean Publishers   SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd. Stories That Find Meaning in Everyday Moments   2026.01.05   We are living in an age of “dopamine addiction.” The quiet appreciation woven into everyday routines has gradually faded, replaced by a constant pursuit of stimulation. Yet, isn’t “true dopamine” found instead in the comfort and encouragement we receive at the end of a difficult day? Much like ordinary water, which becomes precious only when we are thirsty, a single sip of spring water can feel invaluable. Perhaps our relentless search for dopamine is not because daily life is too mundane, but because we have let gratitude slip past us as easily as water flowing away. Following is an interview with SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd. (“SAMTOH”), a wellspring for small but meaningful stories that find new life in book form.   Logo of SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd.     It’s a pleasure...

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...
