Epilogue: Conversation with God

“In fact, ‘Broad and Shallow Knowledge for Intellectual Conversation’ is something you should read before becoming an adult.

“It’s good to know something when you’re younger”_Author Cha Sa-jang

The most frequently borrowed book from Seoul National University Library,
The "Wide and Shallow" series, read from childhood and revisited as an adult.

Successful people recall the world classics and biographies they read as children, citing them as the books that helped them create their own world and lay the foundation for it.
It is equally important which stories from books you engrave in your heart when you are young.
Perhaps information and knowledge are constantly acquired from school to society, but the humanities topics covered in this book are difficult to learn anywhere, from anyone.


"Broad and Shallow Knowledge for Intellectual Conversation" is the book that was first and most widely read by people in their 30s and 40s in Korea.
After its publication, reviews like “If I had a teacher who taught me like this when I was in school, studying would have been fun” flooded in.
At that time, the humanities had a strong image of being a difficult and vast field, but a new writer named Chae Sa-jang wrote a book that solved this problem in an easy and fun way.
It has connected and unraveled almost every field, including history, economics, politics, society, ethics, science, philosophy, art, and religion, like a thousand and one nights, leading millions of readers into the world of humanities.


Readers who read it once gave it as a gift to those around them, and it spread through word of mouth, and it has been a bestseller for over six years.
Among these countless readers, parents had a desire to read with their children.
Fundamentally, the content of this book is based on economic concepts, and it is the knowledge that is most urgently needed by children who must survive in today's harsh capitalist era.

For children today, whose future is uncertain, it is crucial to teach them how our current society was created and what knowledge they must not miss to thrive in this era.
To achieve this, 『Cha Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land』 draws out the most important core themes from history from the primitive to the modern era, connects them into a powerful story, and imprints the knowledge within them on children.
This knowledge experience will have a significant impact on how young readers grow up, how they encounter other knowledge, how they relate to people, and how they encounter the world.
And it will remain powerful in your mind even as you grow up, acting as 'knowledge that takes root in real life.'

A book that sharply penetrates modern capitalism and provides core economic knowledge that helps you understand it.

A book that connects history, politics, society, ethics, and more to provide economic knowledge, allowing you to encounter a vast forest of knowledge.
A book that does not stop at knowledge, but rather develops the power to think and discuss, leading to wisdom.
A book that helps you develop a better perspective on the world and live a better life.
