My experience with Korean literature in the original I had until recently counted on one hand and thought to myself that this will be a great disappointment now in the Academy. Meanwhile, it's all changed a little, but my desire to bring me a little onto the run, has not let himself slow. Even though I literature in the sense of "not literature, not non-fiction" in general rather avoid, could I hold back now and I have not before two days go buy Korean books. What should one do, when every day two times at Bandi & Luni's passes ....^^;;
.
My choice was initially on the following four books that I recommend everyone, even if they are thematically rather too specific.

First of the slightly heavier fabric. "Korean Literature. Its Classical Heritage and Modern Breakthroughs " in a series published for the 60th anniversary of the Korea Journal, which also provides current focus on the sources of domestic service in the Korean, and if you can not have the Korean. So this book is also primarily a compilation of the most important articles in the Korean literature in recent years, in English translated and arranged thematically. incomprehensible From very interesting to absolutely everything here, but the goal is to achieve with such a compendium probably.

"Gongja-ga jugeoya nara-ga sanda "(Only when Confucius died, can live the country) is a strong criticism of Confucianism, the still dominates the Korean society and was received at the show much. In the course of Confucian wave that Korea recorded a few years back, many replicas built on the work. The book itself is radical and unbalanced stresses, without reflection. One could say that the Lord is on the riot and it was given. But many of his theories are quite interesting and erörternswert. Definitely a good introduction to the topic.

Hanok jitneun iyagi (From Building a hanok) is, as the name suggests, the story of building a hanok in Seoul's old city, Bukchon. Two (living) artists describe very clearly what there is for problems that get too old buildings to use the funds properly, how to develop the neighborhood, etc. All kept very clear and as I said from the smallest detail up to far-reaching observations a great guide for anyone interested in the subject and have always asked me, what so much is a Hanok in this situation and what is there for difficulties on the way to your own dream home.

Penguin News was Book of the Year 2006, selected and is now rightly translated into several languages, unfortunately, not yet published in German, while a good translation is available in KLTI. What is the point at stake is the very first pages to open up yet so real and that's the charm. It's just a young student who tosses a lot of very often wacky world of knowledge in his observations of the environment and produce so many beautiful passages. Definitely a great book, highly recommended, especially if you Nocht in Korea not as liquid, because he writes very clear and simple and yet (or therefore?), An effect achieved so that underpins the goal of his book: We are not born to live very great, we live to live.
