Download or read book The Guest written by Hwang Sok-yong and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on actual events, The Guest is a profound portrait of a divided people haunted by a painful past, and a generation's search for reconciliation. During the Korean War, Hwanghae Province in North Korea was the setting of a gruesome fifty-two day massacre. In an act of collective amnesia the atrocities were attributed to American military, but in truth they resulted from malicious battling between Christian and Communist Koreans. Forty years later, Ryu Yosop, a minister living in America returns to his home village, where his older brother once played a notorious role in the bloodshed. Besieged by vivid memories and visited by the troubled spirits of the deceased, Yosop must face the survivors of the tragedy and lay his brother's soul to rest. Faulkner-like in its intense interweaving narratives, The Guest is a daring and ambitious novel from a major figure in world literature.
Download or read book The Old Garden written by Hwang Sok-yong and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political prisoner Hyun Woo is freed after eighteen years to find no trace of the world he knew. The friends with whom he shared utopianist dreams are gone. His Seoul is unrecognizably transformed and aggressively modernized. Yoon Hee, the woman he loved, died three years ago. A broken man, he drifts toward a small house in Kalmoe, where he and Yoon Hee once stole a few fleeting months of happiness while fleeing the authorities. In the company of her diaries, he relives and reviews his life, trying to find meaning in the revolutionary struggle that consumed their youth—a youth of great energy and optimism, victim to implacable history. Hyun Woo weighs the worth of his own life, spent in prison, and that of the strong-willed artist Yoon Hee, whose involvement in rebel groups took her to Berlin and the fall of the wall. With great poignancy, Hwang Sok-yong grapples with the immortal questions—the endurance of love, the price of a commitment to causes—while depicting a generation that sacrificed youth, liberty, and often life, for the dream of a better tomorrow.

Download or read book The Shadow of Arms written by Hwang Sok-yong and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of the black markets of the South Vietnamese city of Da Nang during the Vietnam War, based on the author’s experiences as a self-described South Korean mercenary on the side of the South Vietnamese, this is a Vietnam War novel like no other, truly one that sees the war from all sides.

Download or read book The Prisoner written by Hwang Sok-yong and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping account of imprisonment--in time, in language, and in a divided country--from Korea's most acclaimed novelist In 1993, writer and democracy activist Hwang Sok-yong was sentenced to five years in the Seoul Detention Center upon his return to South Korea from North Korea, the country he had fled with his family as a child at the start of the Korean War. Already a dissident writer well-known for his part in the democracy movement of the 1980s, Hwang's imprisonment forced him to consider the many prisons to which he was subject--of thought, of writing, of Cold War nations, of the heart. In this capacious memoir, Hwang moves between his imprisonment and his life--as a boy in Pyongyang, as a young activist protesting South Korea's military dictatorships, as a soldier in the Vietnam War, as a dissident writer first traveling abroad--and in so doing, narrates the dramatic revolutions and transformations of one life and of Korean society during the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis Classic Korean Tales with commentaries by : Choe Key-sook
Download or read book Classic Korean Tales with commentaries written by Choe Key-sook and published by (주)한림출판사. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 11 Classic Korean Narratives including Myths, Folktales, Sino-Korean Novels and Poetry Readers can come to know not only the pleasure of reading stories, but also delight in learning about Korea through this book, like Korean culture, Korean history and Koreans' ways of thinking in the old days. Even though this book consists of only Korean classic narratives, this doesn't mean that only Koreans can understand it. Everyone can understand and enjoy a “Classic.” What Brings "Classics" Alive is the Readers' Empathy A lonely boy becomes a hero who establishes a nation; a daughter who is abandoned becomes a goddess who manages death; a wife and husband, both ordinary people, become a queen and king in a foreign country or gods of a country. These stories show that if people take advantage of their merits and use their power in support of others, they can accomplish wonderful things and gain happiness even when they possess nothing special. The reason that these stories survive for such a long time without being forgotten and move the people who read them is that people consider the thoughts and feelings in these stories to be precious. A Way of Communicating with Time: The World of Classical Imagination Reading the classics is similar to the experience of communicating across time. The world of classics, which appears interesting and mysterious, also contains the dreams and hopes of contemporary people. Even though the past has disappeared, we are encountering the dreams and hopes of people from olden times as you read the classics and fall into the world of these stories.

Book excerpt: The essential account of the South Korean 1980 pro-democracy rebellion On May 18, 1980, student activists gathered in the South Korean city of Gwangju to protest the coup d’état and the martial law government of General Chun Doo-hwan. The security forces responded with unmitigated violence. Over the next ten days hundreds of students, activists, and citizens were arrested, tortured, and murdered. The events of the uprising shaped over a decade of resistance to the repressive South Korean regime and paved the way for the country’s democratization.

Included is a preface by acclaimed Korean novelist Hwang Sok-yong. Gwangju Uprising is a vital resource for those interested in East Asian contemporary history and the global struggle for democracy.

And when the ancient spirits that still inhabit the island’s landscape reveal themselves to him, Bugeye's luck begins to change – but can it last? Vibrant and enchanting, Familiar Things depicts a society on the edge of dizzying economic and social change, and is a haunting reminder to us all to be careful of what we throw away. PRAISE FOR HWANG SOK-YONG ‘Hwang Sok-yong is one of the most read Korean writers in his country, and best known abroad.

Book Synopsis The Power Behind the Pouch by : Bari Bacco
Download or read book The Power Behind the Pouch written by Bari Bacco and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Get 'em off!' several girls called out. This caught on like wild fire, as the whole club erupted with the same chant: 'Get 'em off!' ' Get 'em off!' 'Get 'em off!' - referring to the boys' G-string thongs... The penny dropped as the light bulb lit up - WOW!! I've got a Show! As these explosively unbuttoned memoirs reveal, Bari Bacco has really earned his unofficial title of 'Male Strip King' over the years. Inspired by the famous Levi's commercial from 1987 - featuring a launderette, a Marvin Gaye song and a young man in a pair of white boxer shorts - Bari pioneered the idea of a strip show for women: hardly lacking in tanned and toned male flesh, but also catering to the female viewer's fantasy world. Bari charts the ups and downs of the Dreamboys, the group he founded and managed for many years, including the scrapes they got into through their insatiable sex drive, their meetings with such world-famous figures as Diana Princess of Wales and Elton John, and their co-starring role in the Spice Girls' hit film Spiceworld. But the Dreamboys could also be a nightmare: Bari reveals the grubbiness never far below the glamour and glitz, and tells the true story of how the group he had created and nurtured came to be taken away from him. The Power Behind the Pouch is an insider's view of the early days of what is now a multi-million pound industry. Bari proves to be a sharp-eyed and quick-witted guide to this showbiz tale with a difference.

The detective investigating the incident tells her that her father caused the explosion to kill himself because of overwhelming debt she knew nothing about, but Se-oh suspects foul play by an aggressive debt collector and sets out on her own investigation, seeking vengeance. Ki-jeong, a beleaguered high school teacher, receives a phone call from the police saying that the body of her younger half-sister has just been found.

One of the contacts in the call log is Se-oh.
