Title | ON STAR-KNITTING
2. Book Intro
A great alien civilization visits Earth from the outer space. They call themselves “Pan-galactic Cultural Exchange Committee” and match the planet Earth with another civilization called Witan. In the title piece of this short story collection On Star-knitting, Witanians seek help from Earthians: they need to find someone who can read and make constellations. Since they don’t have astrology in their culture, they start to work with an Earthian astrologist who calls himself a star-knitter. A Witanian astronaut and the Earthian star-knitter navigate the galaxies to find the right stars to weave into a new “constellation of harmony” to stop a civil war within another planet. The author Lee Yeongdo, arguably the most renowned fantasy fiction writer in Korea, explores the realm of space opera in his first sci-fi short story collection, weaving the stories with different streaks of fantasy, sci-fi, romance, apocalypse narratives, and critique on modern society.

2. Book Intro
This is a story of Yong, the tiger hunter; Soon, the granddaughter of the village head; and Kazuo, a Japanese officer—and their eventful days in the Tiger Village located at the foot of Mount Baekdu in the 1930s. Yong is a quiet, honest boy who moved to the Tiger Village with his father to catch the white tiger that had killed his mother. He instantly falls in love with Soon, a bright, compassionate girl who looks after people even in a challenging environment. A pure love soon blossoms between them. Making unforgettable memories in the village with Soon and another innocent friend, Sniffler, Yong slowly opens up his heart. Meanwhile, Kazuo who came to Joseon after joining the army with sincere loyalty to his nation (Japan) undergoes a change in his mental state and experiences a severe inner conflict. His letter to his mother suggests his respect and love for his mother as well as a kind character. Seven years later, Soon is selected to be a comfort woman for the Japanese army, which immediately throws her peaceful life into danger. On the boundary between life and death, Yong devotes everything he has to save Soon, while Kazuo faces utter despair, feeling doubts over his country’s evil deeds. *Entangled in the whirlwind of history against their will, the choices the three characters each make show us ways to restore the good in human nature, which does not ignore others’ sadness and misfortune, and ways to overcome hardship through human love. It also encourages us to take a moment and think about what makes us human, and what it means to forgive and reconcile. The book conveys the author’s wish that in this world, where the weak coexist with the weak, people keep alive hope and have true respect for all life. This story of Soon, Yong, and Kazuo will make readers laugh, cry, and feel sad, but more importantly, it will go beyond such sadness or anguish to provide warm comfort and consolation that will relieve the pain and sadness by the time we finish the story.

Title | An Alien Boy Living on Earth
2. Book Intro
Gang Chandeul came from the galaxy Andromeda, 200 light years away from Earth, but nobody knows this. Andromeda is the perfect world for children, with no horrible scolding from mom, heavy school bags, or boring school homework. Every day, without exception, Chandeul closes his eyes and sends the same message to Andromeda by telepathy: “Please let me leave Earth and go back to Andromeda as soon as possible.” It’s already been 12 years since he came to Earth... but no one has answered his message. The author wrote many play scripts before An Alien Boy Living on Earth, his first creative fairy tale, and that’s why every single sentence in the book feels so real, as if it’s part of a play. Together with the realistic story, unique characters and illustrations in warm colors make the book even more complete and funny.
