Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers

Export Case Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers Successful import case of Prapanca Press in Israel 2023.11.06 The Hebrew-language book market is paradoxically both large and small. While there are only about two million active Hebrew readers, who read at least once a week, close to 7,000 new titles are published each and every year in Israel. In other words, whereas the book market is rather small in terms of readers, it is considerably large, vigorous, and diverse in terms of contents. Approximately 20% of Hebrew book publications are translations, almost all of which are translations from English, in addition to a few translations from other European languages such as Russian and Spanish.Regrettably, to date, very few Korean titles were able to reach the Hebrew book market. Although the novels of Shin Kyung-sook and Jeong You-jeong, as well as a few others, have been published in Hebrew and received in Israel with some enthusiasm, the translation...

Fiction is a Journey Into the Complexity of Human Identity

One-Liner Quotes Fiction is a Journey Into the Complexity of Human Identity A Newly-Debuted Korean Novelist’s Pick 2023.09.04 Kim Ki-Tae has been publishing a number of short fiction stories depicting contemporary Korean society since he won the Dong-A Ilbo Shinchun Literary Prize in 2022. He is currently writing full-length novels based on world history. The world is a jumbled mess, and humans cannot be explained by a single identity.

From the mixed landscape at the end of the Japanese occupation to the rather abrupt independence and ideological conflict, the 1940s may be the most chaotic period in Korean history. The novels of this period portray human beings wandering in the midst of various crisscrossing powers. Kim Nam-Cheon (1911-?) began his writing career in t...
