Summary
Wonhyo, the great monk of seventh-century Silla, struggles with the world he has renounced, above all his love for Princess Yoseok, and the novel follows him from his trials of faith through his breaking of the monastic vows to his wandering among ordinary people. Yi Kwang-su's own note on why he chose this scholar-monk as his hero is left out of the chapters. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. 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.
