About This Book
The much-talked-about novel Theo of Golden, “that white book” that captivated readers around the world upon its release and became a word-of-mouth sensation, rising to unexpected popularity, is finally making its way to Korean readers. What is it about this story that has inspired so many people to embrace it so wholeheartedly? Perhaps, as we navigate a modern society that has become increasingly polished and sophisticated on the surface but has grown ever colder at its heart, we have been longing for something we may have forgotten for far too long.
Selfless goodwill, kindness that seems to serve no purpose, and the quiet bonds of community that connect us to one another without demanding too much. And the presence of a true “adult,” someone worthy of our wholehearted admiration and respect. In an age overflowing with sharp words and relentless provocation, Theo of Golden delicately restores, between its lines, the universal values we have lost but continue to yearn for deep within ourselves.
The story gently follows the footsteps of Theo, an elderly gentleman who arrives in the quiet small town of Golden. A mysterious stranger whose past remains unknown, Theo will eventually bring about a magical transformation throughout the entire town. Yet he never set out to perform grand miracles. He simply and quietly embarked on a secret project of his own, a modest, unusual act of kindness carried out without seeking recognition.
His mission is to return 92 pencil portraits, which cover the walls of a local café, to the people depicted in them. Theo meets each person in the portraits, one by one, looks them quietly in the eye, and listens to their stories. As these lost faces gradually find their way back to where they belong, waves of golden light begin to spread across a world that had grown bare and barren. Why is it that kindness always finds a way into our hearts? Theo of Golden is perhaps the most beautiful answer to that question.
