About This Book
Minimal Korean History, which has inspired confidence in Korean history for countless readers, is being released as a special 80th Liberation Edition to celebrate 200,000 copies sold. This limited edition features a cover designed by artist Kim Nuri, who reinterprets traditional Korean folk paintings in a modern style using traditional colors and lithography. The artwork depicts Korea’s beautiful landscapes, the national flower mugunghwa, and the tiger, a guardian symbol that wards off evil, expressing the joy of liberation and hope for a new era.
Author Choi Tae-sung shared his thoughts on the significance of this Liberation Edition and why it is important to learn history: "Liberation means 'finding the light again.' On August 29, 1910, Korea lost its sovereignty and its light, and on August 15, 1945, it regained it. Many who lived under 35 years of Japanese occupation dreamed that those who came after them would not have to live as colonized people. They gave their wealth and even their lives for that dream. History reminds us that we are the beneficiaries of the sacrifices and love of many. On the 80th anniversary of Liberation, it is now our time to remember them."
