Hwang Hyeon-san. \u003cbr\u003eYou might say I'm being too pretentious from the beginning, but I dare say that the name alone is enough to give you a sense of relief.\u003cbr\u003e Even the modern French poetry, known for its difficulty, was different when he read it.\u003cbr\u003e I don't know how many of our poets, unaware of their genius, languished in their closets with their poetry, and he dragged them out to dry in the sun.\u003cbr\u003e Poet Hwang Byeong-seung was like that, poet Kim I-deum was like that, and there are other poets who were brought back to light through his commentary and became new to the Korean poetry world. It would be too much to list them all here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And that's not all.\u003cbr\u003e He witnessed moments in our twisted modern history when we could not stand up for justice, and each time, with eyes that were wide open, he wrote about his regret and anger. \u003cbr\u003eThe words he wrote every night with tears in his eyes, however, returned to our bodies as blood in the morning.\u003cbr\u003e Because he was born with a destiny that made it impossible for him to love people.\u003cbr\u003e Because of that destiny, I have lived until now as a true 'adult' who guides everyone to love the world and embrace the world with hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That's how I published \"The Night is My Teacher.\"\u003cbr\u003e As the title suggests, the teacher is known for working at night.\u003cbr\u003e As the saying goes, “getting fire from the darkness” in literature, it is about using darkness as fire. I think it will be more valid if we look at the teacher’s inner thoughts revealed in an interview with a magazine, so I will briefly translate it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The reason I analyze when I criticize is to reach what cannot be analyzed.\u003cbr\u003e To say there is depth is to say I don't know. \u003cbr\u003eIf there is a soul in the rock, it means there is a ghost inside, or in other words, there is something inside it that I do not know about.\u003cbr\u003e That means it has depth.\u003cbr\u003e The possibilities in the light are possibilities we all know, and the path in the darkness is the path that has opened up before us, the path that will open up.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes the possibility itself is literature.”\u003cbr\u003e -From an interview with GQ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is the teacher's first collection of prose, not a thesis or literary criticism on literature.\u003cbr\u003e From the writings published in various media over the past thirty years, from the 1980s to the present day in 2013, I have selected these and divided them into Part 1 and Part 3. Part 2 contains a few shots from the photos of Kang Woon-goo and Koo Bohnchang, two of Korea's representative photographers, that can serve as a metaphor for the book, along with the writings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“As we grow older, darkness increases.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThere are very rare moments when something shines brightly enough to pierce the sky.\u003cbr\u003e “The good thing is that as we get older, we become accustomed to the darkness and learn to forgive it.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you read the teacher's prose, it's surprising how old he is.\u003cbr\u003e It's really strong because it's written in short sentences without any help from any other person.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than saying that the teacher's prose is a 'word' that presses down on you from above, it would be more accurate to say that it is an 'action' that walks shoulder to shoulder and matches your pace.\u003cbr\u003e It wakes us up on its own.\u003cbr\u003e That's what makes you move from your seat to the street.\u003cbr\u003e For example, let's look at what we should do after each of us hits our knees in response to these sentences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “City people miss nature.\u003cbr\u003e But there is nothing I fear more than nature.\u003cbr\u003e City dwellers always look for 'wild' vegetables, but they don't reach for worm-eaten vegetables. \u003cbr\u003eIn nature, death exists alongside life.\u003cbr\u003e The city dwellers cannot bear that death.\u003cbr\u003e People try to thoroughly block the shadow of death from their dwellings.\u003cbr\u003e However, since there is no life that does not embrace death, if you try to prevent death, you end up blocking life as well.\u003cbr\u003e “Where death cannot be endured, only death remains.”\u003cbr\u003e -p21 From “Salt and Death”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But it's strange.\u003cbr\u003e When you look at the strangely remaining 'sadness' behind the teacher's 'sting' that is sharper than an awl and harder than a hammer, \u003cbr\u003eSometimes in a voice that couldn't hide his anger, sometimes in a voice that couldn't hide his affection, the emotion was so desperate that I couldn't ask him, a critic, why he didn't stand in the middle of the lever... I started to think that maybe in our time, all the teachers who speak the truth with all their heart have gone into hiding, so the teacher is left to bear that burden alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even if you don't have eyes or ears, life will still be lived.\u003cbr\u003e But when we prefix it with the word \"present,\" can we truly say we live in this \"today\" without eyes or ears? Your prose speaks precisely of that \"justice.\" \u003cbr\u003eWhen we focus our gaze purely on what is right, the various lifestyles we encounter at the end of that path, those gaps, are perhaps the only examples of our lives, which follow trends, bow before money, and hide behind authority, not knowing how to live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A total of eighty essays are included in 『Night is the Teacher』.\u003cbr\u003e As the teacher said, “even though it was written over thirty years, the tone and style haven’t changed much, and I still think in the same way now and then,” which is surprising, and I couldn’t help but underline this part. \u003cbr\u003eThe phrase was, “It seems like I’ve been wrestling with a prospect I can’t give up all this time.” This made me reflect on what kind of fight I’ve been having in front of that ‘prospect’ that the teacher has been fighting for his entire life, that ‘prospect’ that can certainly be expressed in many different words.\u003cbr\u003e Ah, what great cause could there be that you could fight for your entire life to maintain such a youthful and flexible mind? Suddenly, I felt envious of that 'sense' that never seemed to age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book cover features a painting by Tim Eitel, a leading figure in German contemporary painting.\u003cbr\u003e Having majored in painting, German, and philosophy, and having a keen interest in both art and literature, he probably had no idea that the characters he portrayed could be so similar to his teacher. \u003cbr\u003eAre the expressions and backs of those who work at night this sublime?\u003cbr\u003e This was the editor's private conversation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAuthor's Note\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is my first book that is not a thesis or literary criticism on literature.\u003cbr\u003e It mainly consists of columns written in the Hankyoreh newspaper over the past four years and in the Kookmin Ilbo in the early 2000s, but it also includes several articles written in the 1980s and 1990s of the last century.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, I find it surprising that, although it was written over a period of over thirty years, the tone and style have not changed much, and that I still think in the same way now and then.\u003cbr\u003e It may seem like there has been no progress, or it may seem like I have been wrestling with a prospect that I cannot give up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to grope through the sometimes vague and sometimes concrete thoughts I had been harboring, and express them, if possible, beautifully, with appropriate language and honest rhetoric. \u003cbr\u003eThose thoughts are nothing special.\u003cbr\u003e Like my friends who deserved to be respected and loved, I also longed for a world where people lived freely and equally.\u003cbr\u003e In this longing, I loved these mountains and rivers that raised me.\u003cbr\u003e I loved cities and villages, I loved the night sky and the alleyways, and I dreamed of all living things living in harmony, healthy and happy.\u003cbr\u003e Even thousands of years ago, even tens of thousands of years ago, people would have dreamed this dream every dark night, and we are still sadly dreaming this dream.\u003cbr\u003e I wasn't in a position to put any great experience or profound philosophy into my writing, but I can say that I contributed my small talents in the hope that the dream would not be forgotten or sound like a mere platitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I would like to thank the editorial staff of Munhakdongne and poet Kim Min-jeong.\u003cbr\u003e If it weren't for these amazing talents, this book would never have been published, or would have been published only half-heartedly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e June 2013\u003cbr\u003e Hwang Hyeon-san \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003eGOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
