5. About the Book
Garlic has a unique history of being both revered and reviled. On the one hand, it is an ancient ingredient that prevented disease, cured illness, and increased vitality. People ate garlic on a daily basis at the pyramid construction sites in ancient Egypt, and the troops of Alexander the Great were provided with garlic to maintain their tireless energy. However, other civilizations despised garlic due to its strong odor. In Buddhist culture, it was absolutely prohibited. Confucian culture dismissed it as an unclean food. Yet, despite the fact that many people detested its smell, there must have been real benefits for garlic to be loved by others.

5. About the Book
The culture of mingling is prevalent in the city plan of Seoul. The Palace of Versailles clearly shows the difference between a city planned around the king as the center and a city of togetherness with people. The king’s power in France strongly influenced the environment of the city. The French city of the king had to shine with dignity. Seoul, however, does not display the Korean king’s absolute power through external pomp. Whenever I show photos of Seoul around 1900, most students feel embarrassed. Seoul looks too insignificant compared to the Paris of the time, with its townhouses lining the broad boulevards. I cannot agree with my students’ response. In the 1860s, Paris went through a massive urban renewal.

5. About the Book
Known as the royal who reigned during the kingdom’s tragic demise, King Gojong of Korea was subjected to negative criticism until the 1990s. When the Korean Empire, which the King himself built, lost its sovereignty to Japan and was preyed upon by major powers, Gojong became branded as an incompetent leader who was unfit to respond to a national crisis. Recently, however, scholars have begun seeing Gojong in a new light, as a leader who was instrumental in bringing Western science and technology to Korea and who leveraged this knowledge to transform Korea into a more autonomous modern nation.

5. About the Book A boy leaves the city where people don’t read books anymore, and he heads to the forest. Unlike the dreary city, the forest is quiet and refreshingly green, the best place for reading. When the boy starts reading, a monkey in a tree becomes curious and wants to know what the boy is doing. The monkey learns that the boy’s bag isn’t filled with cookies or fruit but with books. The boy and the monkey go on a fun adventure by reading the boy’s books, and the monkey realizes the world is bigger than he had thought and that there are exciting things happening everywhere. Soon, other animals join the boy and the monkey’s book adventure. It becomes crowded with many animals joining them. Realizing how fun reading is, the animals decide to bring books from the city to the forest. This is not hard to do because the people in the city no longer care for books, preferring other ways to get information. The boy continues to read for the forest animals to their delight. One day, it suddenly starts to rain, and the books are in danger of getting all wet. Fortunately, the animals move all the books to the bear’s cave, which becomes packed with books, leaving no place for the bear. The boy says, “It’d be so nice if there was a library in the forest.” Hearing that, the forest animals decide to build a library. After the boy returns to the city, the animals decide to build a library on top of the zelkova tree in the forest and fill the library with the books. The library is built with only the materials from the forest, but it looks amazing. However, the boy no longer visits the forest. Unable to see the boy anymore, the forest animals decide to embark on an adventure by themselves. With the adventures they have had by reading books, they feel ready to go out in the world and have some fun. They then come back and write a book about their adventures. Years pass, and the boy heads to the forest again. He had been sick in the hospital, which was why he couldn’t visit the forest. Once he arrives at the forest, he sees a small house filled with books, the library in the tree with the books about the adventures that the forest animals had had. Library in the Tree tells the adventures that a boy and his animal friends have by reading books and how they embark on their own journey after being inspired by reading. By contrasting the city people, who spend all their time watching videos, with the forest animals, who enjoy reading, the book prompts readers to think about their own reading habits. It is also fun to read about the forest animals building a library without cement or bricks but only with what they can find in the forest. The book teaches young readers to have the courage to go out into the world and embark on a journey and also about having faith in oneself despite failures. The book will move the hearts of young readers and also inspire them to take action towards their goal.
