About This Book
This collection is a phenomenal achievement of modern Korean literature, in
which the monumental trajectory of Hwang Sok-yong’s literary creativity is
mapped out. Containing excellent short stories and a novella, it is the final of
the works that the writer selected. It has 29 pieces, all of which are acclaimed
as Korean classics. The texts include, for example, “Near the Standing Stone”
and his debut work “The Tower,” along with “The Land of Strangers,” “ Chronology
of Mr. Han,” “The Way to Sampo,” “The Bird of Molgaewoel” and “Passionate Love.”
he quintessence of the collection is found in the writer’s highly sophisticated
sensitivity, intricate description, and unflagging dynamism that confront the
reality of his time. The literary critic Jin Jeong-sok says that the works by
Hwang Sok-yong are the most honest ethical participation in the Korean
experience of modernity and the most vigorous artistic exploration of how human
beings can liberate themselves. He also says that thanks to Hwang, contemporary
Korean literature has fulfilled the profound unity of enjoyment and
enlightenment, of imagination and historical consciousness, and of aesthetics
and ethics.
he writer has enhanced overall quality of the works in this collection through
his meticulous final revision, which helps us to view his literature
systematically. He has also added supplements such as his chronology, a preface
and postscript of previously published collections, and a list of critical
essays on his literature. The series of prefaces and postscripts in Volume 3
introduces his turbulent literary career. The engaging and informative accounts
of the way the writer obtained and composed the subjects for each work help
readers better appreciate his works. “ Chronology of Mr. Han” is based on his
mother’s story-telling; and “Pig Dream” depicts the lives of factory workers.
