Into the book
Leaves sprout, flowers bloom, a warm breeze blows, the fragrance of the fields spreads, and an unknown emotion and excitement surges.
Have you ever heard someone warn you: 'Beware, love is everywhere! It's out for you from every angle! Every trick is hidden, every weapon sharpened, every trap prepared! Beware!' Love is about to pounce on you! It's far more dangerous than a cold, bronchitis, or pleurisy! Love never forgives, and it makes anyone make foolish, irreparable mistakes.
--- pp.12-13 From "Guy de Maupassant, Spring Day"
There were more changes to the menu that day than usual.
The soup became lighter, and pork was dropped from the appetizers, remaining only as a roast dish with Russian turnips.
The spirit of spring was all over the menu.
The lamb that once frolicked on the green hills was now a dish served with a special sauce, and oysters were still on the menu, but they seemed to be disappearing as spring arrived.
The frying pan was pushed to one side, and the griddle took over as the main dish in the kitchen.
--- pp.30-31 From "O. Henry, A Plate of Spring"
i love you.
I will write a poem and send it to you every day.
And every day I will whistle outside your house.
Tomorrow at six o'clock in the evening, we will whistle the Battleship March.
--- p.47 From "Dazai Osamu, Cherry Blossoms and Whistles"
The two girls crawled forward on the ground, picking flowers.
Putting my hands in the warm, soft soil was an indescribable happiness.
They were so intoxicated by the warm spring scent that spread from the fluffy stems soaked in sunlight that their hearts ached.
--- p.68 From "Sigrid Unset, Two Girls"
“Go outside and think about it.
It feels a bit out of place to be sitting indoors discussing philosophy in this kind of weather.
“It’s not about how people in the past thought about life, it’s about how you feel about life now.”
--- p.83 From “Where the Light Stays” by Susan Glaspell
Theodora found herself in the woods behind the school without even realizing it.
She knelt on the ground and kissed a small green stem sprouting through the dry leaves.
It was spring.
Spring! Everything was moving towards the light.
And in her heart, too, countless hopes sprouted in an instant.
--- p.115 From "Edith Wharton, April Showers"
The dust of April rose so high that it seemed as if it would obscure the sun, but then again filled the air with gray.
The boring afternoon, which repeated like an old joke, seemed as if it would never end.
Then, around half past four, a gentle silence descended on the street for the first time, and shadows stretched long beneath the awnings and between the branches of the trees.
In this kind of weather, nothing feels important.
Maybe life is like the weather.
As we endure the sweltering heat where everything seems insignificant, we find ourselves waiting for a cool day, like someone's hand quietly resting on our tired forehead.

Publisher's Review
Spring alive in old sentences
Stories of love, growth, and comfort brought by the season of spring.
《Under the Spring Sun》 is a work by Guy de Maupassant, O. Henry, Osamu Dazai, F.
This is a collection of nine short stories from world literature, compiled by masters of world literature, including Scott Fitzgerald and Virginia Woolf.
This book contains nine works, all set in spring or based on the emotions of spring.
The beginning and end of love, the moment of becoming an adult, the sincerity that cannot be fully expressed in words, and the comfort quietly delivered, the brilliant yet cautious emotions of spring bloom gently under the spring sun.
The works included each have their own unique character and texture, unfolding the season of 'spring' with diverse emotions and narratives.
Maupassant's "A Spring Day" depicts a man trying to confess his feelings on a cruise ship, intoxicated by the mood of spring, and a mysterious figure who stands in his way; O. Henry's "A Plate of Spring" depicts the telepathy between a typist and a farmer in the days when people conveyed their feelings through letters; Osamu Dazai's "Cherry Trees and Whistles" is a touching, unexpected drama about a family surrounding a sick younger sibling's love letters; and Edith Wharton's "April Showers" depicts the antics of a girl who dreams of becoming a best-selling author, all of which cheerfully portray the colorful colors of spring.
Virginia Woolf's "Questioning Women" observes society through a woman's perspective, quietly but firmly asking whether spring, or liberation, is truly possible for women within a male-centered order.
Sigrid Unset's "Two Girls" delicately captures the complex inner lives of adolescent girls in the spring light, and Susan Glaspell's "Where the Light Lingers" depicts the possibility of intellectual solidarity that transcends generations and genders.
Hermann Hesse's "The Engagement," in which a clumsy man is saved by a kind woman, and Fitzgerald's "Jelly Bean" capture the glamour and vanity of the Jazz Age in a single, short film.
The emotional range contained within this short yet profound narrative gently stirs the reader's heart, allowing us to revisit the delicate emotions that live on under the name of a classic with a modern sensibility.
Faces of World Literature Encountered for the First Time
The first domestic translations of Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize-winning authors.
One of the most significant implications of this book is that it not only sheds new light on the works of widely known authors, but also introduces for the first time major authors in world literature who have rarely been introduced in Korea.
The representative figure is Sigrid Unset.
She achieved international fame with the Christine Lavransdatter trilogy, a historical novel set in medieval Norway, and in 1928 she became the second woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, earning her an iconic place in Norwegian literary history.
However, it is still an unfamiliar name in Korea, and this book is the first time it has been introduced to Korean readers.
The included work, “Two Girls,” is a work that neatly captures the complex inner world of an adolescent girl in the light of spring, and is imbued with Unset’s characteristically restrained perspective and insight.
Susan Glaspell is not an unfamiliar writer either.
Although some of his works have been introduced, they have rarely been examined in depth compared to his status in literary history.
The short story “Where the Light Stays,” translated and introduced for the first time, brings to mind Glaspell, the American Pulitzer Prize winner and pioneer of modern feminist drama.
This work, which delicately depicts the intellectual exchange and solidarity between a retired professor and a female college student, still resonates vividly today.
《Under the Spring Sun》 is a meaningful anthology that attempts to broaden the spectrum of classical literature and expand its horizons of acceptance by bringing together works by world-renowned authors rarely introduced in Korea, as well as lesser-known short stories by authors familiar to readers.
Reading classics in the language of the seasons
From Spring to Winter, a Collection of World Literature Short Stories Woven with Sense
Classics transcend time and contain human emotions and thoughts.
But for that sentence to come to life in today's language, it needs a sensory channel that touches the reader's life.
《Under the Spring Sun》 finds its point of contact in the layer of sensation called ‘season.’
As we follow the love and loss, the waiting and hope that bloom within the season of "spring," which permeates everyone with its own unique meaning, we come to realize that the words of the classics are neither unfamiliar nor distant.
The nine pieces included in this book fully demonstrate the aesthetics of condensation and narrative density inherent in the short story format.
Within a short volume, the inner self of a character, the emotions of an era, and a season are captured in refined sentences, and within them, readers encounter moments of deeper emotion.
Sometimes, deeper thoughts blossom between the unspoken sentences, and in those spaces, the classics come alive in today's language.
《Under the Spring Sun》 is the first volume in a series of short stories from world literature that will follow the seasons.
《Under the Spring Sun》 was designed to encourage readers to reread classics using the feeling of 'spring' as a clue.
Stories depicting the faces of summer, fall, and winter will also continue.
Through this, readers will slowly navigate the four seasons of the year with a literary sense, and discover the story that is closest to them in the vast forest of classics.
Just as the seasons come back to us, classics always return.
The story that most resonates with readers in this season is right here.
