Into the book

“Then where did you put the liver?”
“Yes, I will tell you where I went.
Deep into the human world, there is a mountain called Yeongjusan, and at the top of that mountain is a 1,000-year-old pine tree.
I hung them on the tips of one, two, and three branches of the pine tree.
“I wrapped it tightly in kudzu leaves like a medicine bag and hung it up, so not only the Jade Emperor can take it away, but no one else can touch it.”
The king looks around at his ministers on both sides and says:
“It would be good if the rabbit had a liver, but if it didn’t, it would be a waste of its life and we wouldn’t be able to save the liver. How about sparing the rabbit?”
Several ministers bow their heads together.
“Your Majesty, it is fitting that you do so.”

The fragrant wine in the golden cup is the blood of ten thousand people,
The delicious side dishes on the jade tray are the fat of ten thousand people.
When the candle wax falls, the tears of the people also fall,
Where the singing was loud, the complaining was also loud.
When he shows the poem to the drunken magistrate, he doesn't even know what it means, but Unbong's heart sinks.
“Oh my, something happened.”
As soon as the magistrate leisurely withdrew after composing the poem, Unbong called Gonghyeong and gave him an order:
“Hey, we’re in trouble.”

Publisher's Review
This book contains carefully selected must-read literary works from middle school Korean language textbooks.
Through "Must-Read Middle School Literature: The First Step - Classics," you can encounter the lives, thoughts, concerns, and dreams of the people who lived in that era through stories that have been loved for a long time.
It will be a time to better understand the present and reflect on who we are today.

Includes 9 classic novels and folk tales that have been loved for a long time, including Heo Gyun's "The Story of Hong Gildong"!
If the present is made up of the accumulation of the future, then the present can be said to be made up of the accumulation of the past.

Reading classical literature has a similar meaning.
Classics are stories written a long time ago, but they contain the lives, thoughts, worries, and dreams of the people who lived in that era.
Through classics, we can learn about the lives of our ancestors, what they valued, and what problems they faced.
Classics are not just stories from the past; they are like a mirror that allows us to look back on our present and think about the future.

This book contains stories that have been passed down by word of mouth by our people for a long time, as well as classic novels written in Korean.
It contains a variety of classical literature, including mystical stories like myths, legends handed down from the region, stories of wise and brave heroes, touching stories that touch people's hearts, and stories containing life lessons.

As you read these stories, go beyond simply enjoying them. Delve deeper into the text by asking yourself questions like, "Why was this story told?", "What were the characters in this story thinking?", and "What did this story make me feel?"
