The Joy of Penmanship through World Literature
From Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain to Hermann Hesse's The Convalescent
Introducing famous quotes and works that add depth to the classics.
Includes 'Writing Essential Letters'

『Time of Copying』, a collection of carefully selected famous passages from the Eulyoo World Literature Collection, has been published by Eulyoo Publishing Co., Ltd., allowing readers to experience copying them.
This book is particularly significant in that it continues the tradition of Eulyoo Publishing, which published “Home Calligraphy Collection” as its first book since its founding in 1945.
Furthermore, it is characterized by not only simply copying the text, but also adding humanistic depth by providing rich introductions to works and authors.

This book is a penmanship practice book that arranges works and sentences in the order of publication of the Eulyoo World Literature Collection, and is characterized by also functioning as a book list.
It consists of handwritten sentences, an introduction to the work, and an introduction to the author. After introducing all 50 carefully selected sentences, it includes a separate appendix titled 'Writing Essential Letters' so that even beginners can easily practice handwriting.


“And so we go on,” says Francis Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby.
After introducing famous phrases such as “Like a boat going against the current, constantly being pushed into the past,” there is a practice section where the text can be shaded and copied, followed by a margin where the reader can write in other famous quotes they wish to add.
Finally, it provides a variety of reading material about the book, along with an introduction to the author and the work.


In this book, it is said that “hope cannot be said to exist or not exist.
Not only famous phrases like “It is like a road on the ground (Lu Xun, The Complete Works of Lu Xun)”, “Even in the festival of death that covers the whole world, even in the midst of the evil fire like a fever that burns the evening sky with rain falling on all sides, will there ever come a day when love will spring forth?” (Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain)”, but also “Almost all the decisive steps of our lives are taken by an uncertain inner movement (W.
G. Sebald, Austerlitz)”, “Time will make this clear.
It also introduces lesser-known quotes from famous works such as “Only time reveals the righteous, but a traitor is recognized in a single day (Sophocles, Oedipus the King, etc.).”


We also paid special attention to the binding, choosing a nude binding method so that the pages can be fully opened without any folds, making it easy to copy.
This book, which carries on the long tradition of 『Home Calligraphy Cheop』, the first book published by Eulyoo Publishing Co., Ltd. when it was founded in 1945, can be said to be a handwritten book worthy of the reputation and depth of the Eulyoo World Literature Collection.

We were just flowers.
Just as a flower, in love, hides its sweet joy within its closed calyx, our souls were breathing within each other's hearts.
