A man looks back on his life, beginning in a farming village under Samgaksan, and then through his school days and his years as a teacher. Yi Kwang-su's 1936 novel is told in the first person, though its title calls him only he, so that it reads as the story of any Korean of his time. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Summary written with Claude Sonnet 5.5.
