This collection includes three short stories written by Jo Jeong-rae, author of 『Arirang』 and 『Taebaek Mountains』, aimed at children and teenagers.
These are short stories that depict the courage and determination of a human being who knows how to pursue truth in order to live in a world where they can coexist with others, including the title piece, “The Death of a Certain Solgeo,” which depicts what kind of attitude a person should take to live a true life through the attitude of an artist, “Echo, Echo,” and “Puppet Show.”

"Mr. Park, what are you doing?
"It's so noisy I can't live here"
The woman turned around and snapped at the driver.
As soon as the driver called the dogs' names and gestured, they became quiet.
I was completely blown away.
I couldn't even breathe properly and I couldn't walk as I wanted.
My shoulders hunched and my body seemed to shrink more and more.
It was my first time in my life entering such a big house.
It's so incredibly flashy and sparkly... I can't describe it in words because it's so amazing.
The floor of the room, which is so shiny that you can see your face reflected in it, is twice as big as the yard of our house.
Do you think that's all?
From the high ceiling, which is pointed like a roof, hundreds of long, stringy lights with beads hang.
A chair that looks like a crooked piece of candy might be so big.
In the middle of that long, black chair, a child was sitting reading a large book.
