Jeong Yeo-ul often says. \u003cbr\u003eThe treasure trove of author Jeong Yeo-ul, who writes in a variety of genres, including humanities, psychology, philosophy, travel, and criticism, such as 『The Top 10 Europeans I Love』, 『To Me Who Doesn't Care About Myself』, and 『Things I Wish I Knew Then』, has always come from literature.\u003cbr\u003e This book contains the light of all the stories in the world that became the roots of author Jeong Yeo-ul's passion, from \"The Catcher in the Rye\" and \"Demian,\" which accompanied her through her wandering adolescence, to \"The English Patient\" and \"Night Train to Lisbon,\" which taught her the wisdom of love and separation, to \"Momo\" and \"Baridegi,\" which taught her the wisdom of overcoming life's crises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Why do we continue to seek out literature despite repeated concerns about the crisis of literature?\u003cbr\u003e In this age where even the death of literature is being discussed, what can we expect from literature? \u003cbr\u003eAuthor Jeong Yeo-ul, who has collected and read all the writings in the world and read the world through 'looking into the heart', speaks confidently.\u003cbr\u003e “Literature is more meaningful in times of despair when the future is unpredictable.”\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, I want to gather all the warmth of life accumulated through literature and “hold your shoulder as you sob alone in the swamp of deep sorrow.”\u003cbr\u003e The author confesses that literature was the force that protected him in a world filled with sadness, from comforting him when he was tired of social masks to discovering the lost potential within him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jeong Yeo-ul's new prose work, \"A Time for Literature,\" is a kind gesture from the author, who seeks to share with readers her valuable experience of being healed by literature. \u003cbr\u003eThe author guides readers through a time when literature speaks to them, crossing over from Eastern and Western classics to contemporary literature by Kwon Yeo-seon, Yoon I-hyung, Ian McEwan, and Nicole Krauss, as well as popular culture such as film and music.\u003cbr\u003e In \"A Time for Literature,\" we encounter the warm and courageous world of literature captured by author Jeong Yeo-ul, who has explored the world, and within it, we will find a clue to the \"resolution to live

It's only in moments of catastrophe, when everything seems over, that one finally realizes what one truly needs to protect.\u003cbr\u003e Matt, who believed that a father's role was to work hard and protect his own interests, realizes how much he had missed out on while immersed in his work.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What destroyed him was his love for someone he shouldn't have loved, but in the end, it was love that saved him. \u003cbr\u003eAnd he preserved human dignity by not avoiding pain until the end.\u003cbr\u003e Oedipus is not a story about the fall of a great man.\u003cbr\u003e It is a story about the courage of a man who saved his life despite the fate of falling.\u003cbr\u003e This is the story of a great man who embraced the sins of his

us.\u003cbr\u003e Every moment that warms your frozen heart with the bonfire of the story, the story will light a new spark of hope in your chest.\u003cbr\u003e The protagonists who never break down from their wounds, and thus the protagonists of stories in which even their wounds are captivating, extend a warm hand of support. \u003cbr\u003eThe warmth of those hands will protect you.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.64~65\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I was young, I used to read The Catcher in the Rye and I used to get anxious, wondering what on earth this kid would do.\u003cbr\u003e

was not worry, but faith.\u003cbr\u003e Holden was me.\u003cbr\u003e I just needed one person to believe in me, no matter what I was or what I was not.\u003cbr\u003e What Holden and I desperately needed was not some grand piece of advice, but simply a warm message of well-being.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Literature was like that to me.\u003cbr\u003e When I was abusing myself, loving no one, and trusting no one, literature whispered to me with infinitely tender eyes.\u003cbr\u003e I love your anxiety, your despair, and even your hatred. \u003cbr\u003eLiterature taught me that our absurdity, our unevenness, our helplessness are the starting point of all the world's stories.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To rediscover the thrill of life,

you abandon the world in such a terrible way?\u003cbr\u003e I hope that voice reaches all the suffering people who want to leave the earth.\u003cbr\u003e Because what myths, stories, and literature gave me was the courage to live in this world again, the courage to never give up, no matter what the circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e That's how literature touches my heart.\u003cbr\u003e Get up

all the dangers.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Deep depression is sometimes healed by the power of another depression, deeper and more bitter.\u003cbr\u003e Thus, literature is a journey into the sorrow of others who suffer more than we do. \u003cbr\u003eThe miracle of traveling through the sorrows of all the people of the world from a seated position is possible in the world of literature.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When the daily life I have to endure feels like a long tunnel that never ends.\u003cbr\u003e I find myself unable to bear without writing, unable to endure without reading.\u003cbr\u003e Through the time I can't stand not writing, the time I can't stand not reading, I become a better person little by little.\u003cbr\u003e I am driven by the belief that by reading, writing, writing, and reading again, we become better beings each time.\u003cbr\u003e I want to be someone who can withstand the pain that comes my way now better than the last time, someone who was inevitably hit by the first arrow but has the inner strength to avoid the second and third arrows.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.252~253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Where

World and Literature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e People who are comforted and strengthened by literature are also people who believe in the power of literature. \u003cbr\u003eJeong Yeo-ul said that literature was what “saved me from the bottom of my self-esteem, which seemed to know no end.” People who have been comforted and strengthened by literature are also people who believe in the power of literature.\u003cbr\u003e Jeong Yeo-ul says that literature was what “saved me from the bottom of my self-esteem, which seemed to know no bounds,” and she willingly shares this precious experience with readers.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that literature in particular teaches us how to “exist in between,” and that this gives us “the power to come into contact with a richer world by existing between myself and others.”\u003cbr\u003e This is the source of strength that allows us to “endure pain by discovering countless threads of connection and empathy.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In a world where everyone is sharply polarized, I wanted to be a mediator and a balancer.\u003cbr\u003e Like Baridegi, I wanted to learn how to exist between the living and the dead. \u003cbr\u003eI wanted to be like Odysseus, a bridge between humans and gods.\u003cbr\u003e Like Anne of Green Gables, I wanted to be a warm messenger who bridges the eternal gap between those who have homes and those who are homeless.\u003cbr\u003e _From the 'Preface'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Literature goes beyond enduring pain and allows us to “dream of a life of empathy and solidarity with the suffering of others.”\u003cbr\u003e That is why, when we read a work of literature, we can empathize with the suffering of the characters in it, accompany them in their journey of overcoming hardship, and ultimately resolve to start our own lives anew.\u003cbr\u003e With such a fervent heart, Jeong Yeo-ul “searches for a mentor in literature” and loves “the moment when the boundary between me and others, and between me and literature, is erased.” \u003cbr\u003eLiterature contains countless potential possibilities that have not been realized in reality, and this makes us realize our 'right to live differently from before.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Reading \"Night Train to Lisbon\" feels like discovering another me whispering, \"You can live differently now. Don't cling so much to the life you've lived so far.\"\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps I'm berating myself for never having taken an impulsive trip, like getting on a train without even knowing where I'm going.\u003cbr\u003e _From page 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Kauai Hart Hemmings' novel \"The Descendants,\" the author reads a protagonist who realizes the preciousness of a moment of catastrophe and maintains his own dignity, and in Sophocles' \"Oedipus the King,\" he discovers a mythical figure who faces suffering without losing his noble character. \u003cbr\u003eReading Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient, I realized that there is a greater love that heals the wounds of those who have been hurt.\u003cbr\u003e Stories in literature are always “connected to the present, our lives, and my current concerns,” and the author says he wants to be a messenger who conveys this with all his might.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To those who criticize literature as being completely impractical and saying that becoming a \"literary person\" means starving, I want to show Phoebe's warmth and Holden's innocence.\u003cbr\u003e Literature embraces with its whole body those who, like Holden, have dreams that the world finds difficult to name.\u003cbr\u003e Literature warmly embraces those who, like Phoebe, have nowhere to lean on in the world.\u003cbr\u003e The power to embrace someone's despair with your whole body and turn it into hope is a more beautiful value than any flashy practicality. \u003cbr\u003eLiterature is the watchman in the rye field, supporting us with all its might, never knowing when we might fall off the cliff of despair.\u003cbr\u003e _From pages 76-77\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe preciousness of \"its absurdity, its bumpiness, and its helplessness\"\u003cbr\u003e Protecting the alien language within me\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reason we can broaden our horizons through literature is also because of literature's \"diverse ways of speaking.\"\u003cbr\u003e “Literature is the expression of human struggles to finally express in words ‘things that cannot be easily put into words.’”\u003cbr\u003e He read the love story of Alio, a boy who falls in love with a young man, in André Aciman's novel, \"The Summer Guest,\" and J. \u003cbr\u003eD. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy ponders the anger and questions the characters pose toward the world, and says that literature indirectly tells us about \"our twisted hearts and the complex inner thoughts hidden deep within that we cannot reveal in our daily lives.\"\u003cbr\u003e Literature brings out the anger that we could not express or tell anyone, and makes us face the truth of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Another important value of literature is to ‘stay quietly by our side.’\u003cbr\u003e While reading Kwon Yeo-seon's short story \"Fingers\", the author discovers that the powerful power of literature lies in the way of \"staying quietly with those who are in pain.\"\u003cbr\u003e This is a special power that only literature can exert in situations where neither the power of religion, the power of family, nor the power of love can be borrowed. \u003cbr\u003eThings that can only be seen when you are with someone who is suffering, this may be “not a matter of writerly talent, but a matter of perspective on life.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The ‘abandoned beings’ in literature make a “dazzling comeback” thanks to the gaze of the author who is always by their side.\u003cbr\u003e Bertha Mason, who was looked down upon as the madwoman in the attic in Jane Eyre, appears as the main character in Jean Rhys' novel The Wide Sargasso Sea, and Pygmalion, who was a passive figure in the mythical Pygmalion story, is reborn as Eliza, an active woman, in George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion.\u003cbr\u003e Stories that cannot be translated into the languages ​​of the world can be constantly told anew in the language of literature.\u003cbr\u003e The author says that loving literature is about protecting the 'alien language within me' in various ways, and sheds light on a life that expands through literature.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“We become complete through stories.”\u003cbr\u003e A life healed through literature, a journey toward becoming a better being.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What did the writer who believed in the power of literature hope for?\u003cbr\u003e The author, who confesses that he cannot bear life without reading and writing, exhorts us to never hoard the stories in our hearts along with literature.\u003cbr\u003e I suggest that everyone become the subject and diligently speak, write, and share together.\u003cbr\u003e He emphasizes that “those who suffer should not remain mere victims, but should return as ‘people who stubbornly, despite everything, tell their stories.’”\u003cbr\u003e And I believe in the dazzling rise of those who return with such a beautiful story.\u003cbr\u003e The author's message of comfort to readers who \"endured this terrifying day with a heart that couldn't bear it without going crazy, yet pretended not to be crazy\" resonates deeply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen the daily life I have to endure feels like a long tunnel that never ends.\u003cbr\u003e I find myself unable to bear without writing, unable to endure without reading.\u003cbr\u003e Through the time I can't stand not writing, the time I can't stand not reading, I become a better person little by little.\u003cbr\u003e I am driven by the belief that by reading, writing, writing, and reading again, we become better beings each time.\u003cbr\u003e I want to be someone who can withstand the pain that comes my way now better than the last time, someone who was inevitably hit by the first arrow but has the inner strength to avoid the second and third arrows.\u003cbr\u003e Anyone who lives with a secret buried deep in their heart that they can never get out of their mind is a bilingual.\u003cbr\u003e Until the words that were swallowed inside formed a huge volcano and finally exploded like magma. \u003cbr\u003eLet us not remain silent, let us never give up, and let us powerfully send out our sorrow, anger, and hope into this world by placing them in the beautiful time capsule called ‘literature.’ _From pages 252-253 \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\"\u003e GOODS 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 -
