45 Classic Korean Novels Every Middle and High School Student Should Read
Description
Book Introduction
Everything about classic literature, with illustrations!
Prepare perfectly for the CSAT, school grades, and essays with just one book!


Our country's classical literature should be examined at least once for various reasons, but the older the period of creation, the more difficult it is to understand the work.
『Korean Classical Novels 45』 utilizes various devices to make studying classical literature easy and fun.
Difficult vocabulary is explained right next to the text, and footnotes are added throughout the text to make the work easier to understand.
For the college entrance exam, essay writing, and school grades, I analyzed the work in detail through ‘Work Guide,’ ‘Structure and Plot,’ and ‘Let’s Think About It.’
In addition, we tried to break away from the preconception that classical literature is boring by including colorful illustrations that fit the content of the work.

This book contains everything about our country's classical literature so that readers of all ages can come into contact with it and read it with interest.
I hope that this will not only help you understand each work, but also help you deeply experience the long-standing tradition of Korean literature.

Publisher's Review
We've included must-read works for middle and high school students!

We have carefully selected works that are included in the middle and high school curriculum.
At the same time, we took into consideration the status, artistry, and popularity of each work in the history of classical Korean literature.
It includes works that are essential reading for teenagers for the college entrance exam, essay writing, and school grades, as well as works that are helpful for adults to develop their general knowledge.
Each work is grouped by genre, such as myth, folktale, or family story, and a page introducing each genre is also included to enable a comprehensive understanding of classical literature.

The entire work was explained using various devices!

Difficult vocabulary is explained right next to you to help you understand quickly.
The work is explained in detail through footnotes added throughout the text.
In addition, we have included the full text as much as possible so that you can fully appreciate the work.
Through the 'Work Guide', the outline of the work is presented at a glance, and through 'Let's Think About It', the main points of the work are summarized in a question-and-answer format.
Additionally, keywords related to the work were introduced at the end of each piece to broaden the horizon of thought and prepare for essay and performance evaluations.

Includes colorful illustrations that match the composition stages of the work!

The first step to fully understanding prose literature begins with effectively understanding the stages of composition in a work.
Not only does it summarize the plot in accordance with the composition stage of the work, it also includes colorful illustrations.
Some shorter works selected key scenes from the text and presented them as a single illustration.
If you are still unfamiliar with classical literature, you can increase your understanding of the work by referring to the illustrations first or looking at the text and illustrations together.
