Hahn Moo-Sook House

Book Trip [Celeb’s Book Spot ⑥] Hahn Moo-Sook House Following the Footsteps of a Celebrity who Lived 100 Years Ago 2023.07.03 Hahn Moo-Sook, one of the representative writers in Korea A celebrity refers to someone so famous that everyone wants to be like them or someone that sets the newest trends. Writer Hahn Moo-Sook, who lived in the modern era of the 1900s, was the person closest to the definition of the word “celebrity” back then, when such a word was unfamiliar to the public. She made her debut in 1942, when the Japanese occupation of Korea was almost at an end, with her novel A Woman With a Lamp. Her representative works include And So Flows History, which became famous after it was adapted into a drama on KBS, as well as Steps of the Light, Tales of the House of the Pomegranate, and Encounter. The book Encounter, in particular, won the grand prize of the Korean Literary Award in 1986, and was then translated...

The poems in these two books demonstrate the depth of linguistic expression and breadth of poetic emotion.

The collection includes 25 poems, including Jangsusan (長壽山), Baengnokdam, Birobong (毘盧峰), Chunseol (春雪), Sogok (小曲), Star, and Glass Window 1, as well as 8 pieces of prose.The moderate emotion and symmetrical beauty of language in Jeong’s poetry almost reach their peak in the poem collection Baengnokdam.

Flowers of the Orient ? Bringing Korean Gems to Polish Readers

Export Case Flowers of the Orient? Bringing Korean Gems to Polish Readers 2023.05.02 Sixteen years ago, immediately after a fellow Korean Philology student and good friend, Edyta Matejko-Paszkowska, and I decided to establish a publishing house that was centered around Korean literature, people were perplexed. ‘Why?’ they asked. Few believed it was a great idea at the time, and some attitudes could now be considered mocking. However, now that the Korean wave (Hallyu) has reached Poland, they are no longer laughing. The popularity of Korean cuisine, language, dramas, and K-pop has extended to Korean literature.Up until around 2007, a total of seventeen titles of what could be classed as modern or classical literature had been translated from Korean into Polish - extremely low compared to the likes of Japan or China, which both ran into the hundreds. Several key factors explain why Korean literature translations weren’t widespread. Firstly ...
