K-Book in Berlin

K-Book in Berlin M&K's Monica Gu talks South Korean books   2019.09.09     It is rare for German publishers to release South Korean books.Considering this, the first exhibition for South Korean books in Germany, K-Book in Berlin embarked on a mission to spread the word about great South Korean books.     It's been three years since I came to Germany for personal reasons. As I run a publishing company in South Korea, I visit bookstores and libraries in Germany often in search of good ideas for publications. Naturally, I found myself seeking out South Korean books translated into German, and I found Han Kang's The Vegetarian (Changbi) and Jeong You-jeong's Seven Years of Darkness (Eunhaengnamu). The Literature Translation Institute of Korea played a huge role in getting these books to German readers, but usually it is rare for German publishers to publish South Korean books all on their own.

Wookwan Sunim

Wookwan Sunim Introduction to Korean temple food   2019.09.09   'Where did this food come from?'Temple food refers to food cooked to capture the original taste from ingredients usually grown in Buddhist temples or found in nature. Temple food is special even in South Korea. To meet temple food is to go beyond the act of eating and think about where the ingredients came from and how the food was made. It is to realize the preciousness of food. Right now, when so many people have much interest in the preservation of humankind and protecting nature, Korean temple food is finding its place as a cultural element as it opens up a new view into food.Wookwan sunim is an expert on South Korea's temple food. It may seem strange to see the suffix 'food expert' attached to a Buddhist nun's name, but it is not that strange when you consider in Buddhism, growing food, cooking it, eating it and cleaning up is all part of asceticism. Wookwan's temple food and the stories in her food are popu...
