Choi Seung-ho's fable collection, 『The Golden-Fleeced Lion』 (Haenaem, 1997), which was much loved by readers but unfortunately went out of print, has been republished.
This time, when it was republished, the teacher changed the title to “The Snowman Suicide Incident” and changed the content considerably.
Poet Park Sang-sun's book design also played a major role in creating a new book.
Not only the cover design but also the illustrations in the text have all changed.
Therefore, it is closer to a revised edition than a reprint.
The fables in Choi Seung-ho's fable collection, "The Snowman Suicide Incident," are mostly short.
It is shorter than most prose poems.
But the meaning contained in that short sentence is by no means light.
It's never easy.
Moreover, although it has been over 30 years since the first book was published, each fable told by Mr. Choi Seung-ho is not at all out of place when compared to today's world.
Like classics, good writing has the ability to withstand the ravages of time.
I hope you will come across these wonderful fables about what life is, what human relationships are, and how humans and nature coexist in the ecosystem.
