English transcription, sentences from life
Description
Book Introduction
“These beautiful sentences have reached you across a thousand years and borders.”
Professor Koh Kwang-yoon of the Department of English Language and Literature at Yonsei University, a leading authority on reading English books, carefully selected sentences of profound thought.

Professor Koh Kwang-yoon of the Department of English Language and Literature at Yonsei University, who has long advocated for the importance of 'reading slowly,' has published 'English Transcription, Sentences of Life.'
He has long suggested reading good books slowly and savoring them, rather than quickly skimming through many books, under another name, "Slow Miracle."
The background is that he had a long experience of wandering because of books, getting back on his feet with books as support, steadily moving forward with the help of the sentences in the books, and eventually gradually changing his life.
Not only through his lifelong experience, but also as a researcher and teacher of English literature, he has deeply recognized the importance of reading good texts slowly.
This book contains a selection of famous quotes he has read and collected throughout his life, sentences that have long been universally resonated with and loved by humanity.
This book gives readers time to slowly read famous passages, write them down by hand, and memorize them in their hearts.

Publisher's Review
“For the days ahead, I read and write.”
Think deeply about life through the sentences of life.


『English Transcription, Sentences of Life』 is an English transcription book that deals with topics that permeate life.
Readers can find time to deeply reflect on life by slowly reading and writing English sentences closest to the original text and well-translated Korean sentences.
The first chapter begins with the question, “What makes me ‘me’?”
Famous quotes from Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, Kant, and others help you find your own answers.
The second chapter, titled “You, Me, and Us,” deals with relationships.
It's not just about talking about other people.
Insights from Carnegie, Einstein, Aurelius, and others help me to see myself again in relationships.
The question that leads the final chapter is “How should we live?”
It is a question that we must find our own answer to at some point as we live in this world.
When life is shaky—when you feel lost in the rush of life, when you feel like giving up because of trials and tribulations, when happiness seems elusive, when you feel it's too late—we learn about life's attitudes from the words of Horace, Seneca, Lincoln, and others.


The 179 classic quotes in this book sometimes shake the heart with a single, sharp sentence, and sometimes bring enlightenment with a long poem.
The writings contained here, which have been alive and passed down for thousands of years, enable deep reflection on myself and the things that surround me.
If you read slowly and write slowly by hand, you will feel your attitude towards life changing little by little.


The structure of this book

ㆍ The cover is hardcover and the text is made in high-quality, thread-stitched style to ensure long-term use.
ㆍ We added a lanyard to help you remember the pages you have copied for added convenience.

ㆍ The use of beige imitation paper and green colors makes it comfortable for the eyes.

ㆍ The cover is printed on both sides so that you can keep the book to your liking.


If you read slowly, you will understand, if you write by hand, it will become life.
Horace, Nietzsche, Rousseau, Shakespeare, Tolstoy…
Time to change your life through classic quotes that have been read over and over again for a long time.


Everyone goes through a period in their lives where they deeply think about themselves, their relationships, and their lives.
This book is for those of you who want to encounter famous quotes that guide life and experience a time of deep thought.
It contains sentences from many classics, including the famous lines of Marcus Aurelius and Horace that have been countless times transcended national borders for thousands of years from ancient Rome to the present, the sharp insights of the great philosophers Nietzsche and Rousseau, the profound thoughts of the century's prose writer Shakespeare and Tolstoy, and the famous sayings of the world-renowned thinker Tagore.
As you slowly read and write, sometimes a single, sharp sentence, or sometimes a long poem spanning several pages, beautiful sentences will gradually seep into your life and bring about positive changes.


For this book, Professor Koh Gwang-yoon took out all the sentences he had collected while reading English books for a long time and selected those that everyone could relate to.
After that, I went back to the original text and translated it so that I could capture the original text's inner meaning.
"English Transcription, Sentences of Life" will not only allow readers to experience moments of profound insight into life, but also provide the experience of encountering the original texts of famous writings.
