Summary
Yi Hyeong-sik, a young English teacher in colonial Seoul, is pulled between the gisaeng Pak Yeong-chae, once promised to him, and the well-bred Kim Seon-hyeong, whom he is expected to marry. Serialized in 1917, it is usually called the first modern Korean novel and ends with a flood that gathers its young people around a cause larger than their own hearts. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This edition omits one or more passages describing sexual acts involving children; each omission is marked in the text. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.
Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
