Non-Korean speakers will now have easier access to the Paleolithic-era archaeological findings in Korea with the publication of an English-language book on research related to the field.

Like Japanese female writer Kaori Ekuni’s famous novel “Between Calm and Passion-Rosso,” “About Marriage” comes in two separate books, one written by the wife, Lee Sa-rang, and the other by the husband, Chung Chae-hun.

‘In Praise of Death’ won’t come to life for modern readers
Jul 19, 2018
Han So-jin’s “In Praise of Death” seems equipped with the enticing elements of a best-seller: a femme-fatale artist misunderstood by her generation and a tragic affair with a married man. Unfortunately, whether the novel lives up to its potential is as elusive as the unfulfilled love story. Which brings us to the next point: misdirected hatred toward the rest of Korean womankind, save for the he...

[Herald Interview] Now is time to talk about Korean literature

Poetry of Kim Jong-gil’s Life, ‘A Black Kite’
Jun 21, 2018
Kim Jong-gil passed away in 2017 at the age of 92. He was professor emeritus at the Korea University English literature department, and in the 1990s we met and discussed translation of poetry from Korean into English. He encouraged me to translate not only the message, but also rhythm. It was not an easy task. He gently persuaded me to try harder. He was my senior. I still remember all his word...

Book details Joseon’s ‘warts and all’ approach to portraits
Mar 20, 2018
Lee Sung-nack, a board member at the Kansong Art and Culture Foundation, has released a new book that attempts to explain how portraits created in the Joseon era depicted their models in a realistic way. Lee, 80, worked as a dermatologist and professor before he got a Ph.D. in art history at Myongji University in 2014. Paintings before the Joseon era had tended to portray people, mostly of king...
