30 Must-Read Classics of Life and Death: Foreign Literature
 |
Description
Book Introduction
A collection of 30 must-read foreign literary classics for all Korean youth.
In line with the drastically changed 2028 college entrance reform plan, not only the special features of the life science department but also in-depth reading activities
A 10-Minute Daily Classic Reading Plan to Develop the Integrated Thinking Skills and Insights Desired by Top-Ranking Universities
The trends in education and college entrance exam systems have been changing rapidly recently.
This also means that the type of talent our society and universities desire is changing.
Universities, especially top-tier universities, now want well-rounded and integrated students who are not only cognitively gifted but also able to actively communicate and collaborate within a community.
How can we cultivate these capabilities? In a rapidly changing world, the fastest way to discover unchanging values, find fundamental questions and answers to solve problems, and cultivate the ability to gain insight into objects and phenomena is through reading, and especially through reading the classics.
The 『30 Essential Readings for the Living Classics』 series was designed to help students develop integrated and holistic capabilities through reading a variety of classics.
Six current teachers who share the importance of classics have carefully selected 180 representative classic works from various fields, including Korean literature, foreign literature, economics, science, history, and philosophy.
This book focuses on recommended or required readings from leading domestic universities, and contains representative works that students must review. In particular, it reflects the changes in the educational field, where the importance of detailed academic abilities and special skills in school records is increasing ahead of the implementation of the 2022 revised curriculum and 2028 college entrance reform plan.
The second book in this series, 『30 Must-Read Classics for Students: Foreign Literature』, contains thirty works that offer not only literary value but also profound insight into students' lives and thoughts.
Although each work is based on a different era and cultural background, it deals with universal themes that transcend time and are worth contemplating, such as the essence of human existence, moral conflicts, and social absurdity, providing an opportunity for growth for anyone simply by reading them.
In particular, it introduces research topics and directions that can be utilized in conjunction with the curriculum to enable students to read the work in a three-dimensional manner, as well as specific examples and methods to reflect career activities and special features in the school life record, making it the best way to prepare for the comprehensive student evaluation in conjunction with reading.

Into the book
It contains thirty works that offer profound insight into students' lives and thoughts, along with literary value.
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" and Gabriel García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude," which stand out for their unique writing style and narrative techniques, will broaden students' literary appreciation, while George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables," which contain social and political critiques, will help develop critical thinking skills.
Reading classics is not always easy to begin.
Especially when reading foreign classics while understanding a different culture from our own, we need to read at a higher level than usual.
This book will be a good guide for those who face such difficulties in their reading journey.
If you begin reading classics with this book, you will be able to immerse yourself in the works more easily and enjoyably.
--- From the author's preface on p.11-13
They also limit free thought by creating 'new words' to reduce the number of words in our vocabulary.
As the number of languages available to us decreases, people naturally forget how to think deeply.
Furthermore, by creating an environment of 24-hour high-level surveillance through 'telescreens' and 'thought police', they indoctrinate people into believing in conflicting beliefs through 'doublethink', which is the same as 'facts' but not 'facts' and 'things that exist', thus making people lose all sense of truth and morality.
This makes it easier for the ruling class to fabricate the truth.
--- p.18-19 from "1984"
Because the old man was a fisherman who belonged to the former category, he gave meaning to the process of fishing itself, which could be a material defeat, and did not become mentally discouraged or frustrated.
Even when being dragged around by a bluefin tuna, rather than scolding or resenting yourself, you console, cheer, and encourage yourself.
The lives of the elderly place more weight on the process than the result, and on the means and methods rather than the goal.
--- p.52 "The Old Man and the Sea"
When we look back on his life, we can imagine how great the conflicts he experienced regarding religion, between good and evil, and between ideals and reality must have been.
In the midst of these conflicts, anguish, and life crises, in the process of trying to heal the pain, perhaps he wanted to say through "Demian" that in such times, we must listen to our inner selves, hear the voice within us, and navigate life, and that ultimately, moving forward requires our own will?
--- p.63 From "Demian"
Even when Atticus took up his defense, when he stood in court with him, Tom must have had hope that justice would prevail.
But as the trial began, he witnessed firsthand the entrenched white supremacy that made it acceptable to sacrifice even a single black person for the sake of white people, and experienced it triumph over justice, and he must have given up all hope.
--- p.171 From "Killing a Mockingbird"
There are countless plagues in human life, such as war, crime, and misfortune.
The suffering symbolized by the 'pest' has been with us until now, and will continue to come without disappearing.
Through the various characters in the novel, I hope you will think about what kind of mindset you should have in the face of the plague of trials and tribulations.
--- p.298 From "The Plague"
The great 20th-century American writer Hemingway said, “All modern American literature originates from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”
Many authors have mentioned it as a great piece of literature that embodies the identity of American literature, with some saying, “This is the most American of all,” and as various studies have been conducted, it has come to be recognized as America’s most representative classic novel.
In particular, the fact that it directly addressed racial discrimination, which was considered taboo at the time, and portrayed black people as individuals was the biggest reason why it was highly regarded by later generations.
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" and Gabriel García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude," which stand out for their unique writing style and narrative techniques, will broaden students' literary appreciation, while George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables," which contain social and political critiques, will help develop critical thinking skills.

Publisher's Review
The secret to developing skills that remain constant despite the changing college entrance exam system: reading the classics.
The second book in the "30 Must-Read Classics for the Living" series, selected by current teachers.
《30 Must-Read Classics of Life and Death: Foreign Literature》
The current educational and college entrance examination systems are undergoing significant changes, including the implementation of the high school credit system, the integration of liberal arts and sciences, and the expansion of the comprehensive student admissions system.
This also means that it has become very important for students to explore their own career paths, choose their subjects, and create their own portfolios when preparing for college entrance exams.
Top universities, in particular, want creative and comprehensive thinkers who can create and demonstrate new value.
Not just cognitive abilities.
We seek talented individuals who are well-developed, including the ability to actively communicate and cooperate within the community.
How can we cultivate these capabilities? In a rapidly changing world, the fastest way to discover unchanging values, find fundamental questions and answers to solve problems, and cultivate the ability to gain insight into objects and phenomena is through reading, and especially through reading the classics.
The "30 Essential Readings for the Living Classics" series was designed to help students develop integrated and holistic capabilities through reading a variety of classics.
This series introduces 180 representative classic works carefully selected by six current teachers who share the importance of classics in various fields, including Korean literature, foreign literature, economics, science, history, and philosophy.
These are representative works that students must review, focusing on recommended books and required readings suggested by leading domestic universities.
A guide to in-depth study of classic must-reads and the use of the life cycle.
From preparing for school exams to career guidance and tax specials, all in one book!
Above all, this series summarizes the core content of classic must-reads, lowering the psychological hurdles for students to read the classics and allowing them to comfortably accept them.
With detailed explanations, you can prepare for your internal exams, and we have put a lot of effort into ensuring that it goes beyond simple reading and is connected to academics by providing a guide to in-depth exploration activities.
In particular, as the importance of detailed academic abilities and special skills in school records is increasing due to the 2022 revised curriculum and the 2028 college entrance reform plan, we wanted to specifically show the direction of connection with the life history record.
It presents research topics and directions to be explored in connection with classics for each subject, and also introduces specific examples and methods that can be reflected in connection with the specific subjects in the school life record after reading the classics.
This book will help students create their own portfolios by reading classics from various fields and drawing up a roadmap for their school records.
Above all, I hope that it will help you learn the joy of reading and the value of life, and serve as a guide in making choices on your journey toward college entrance.
A selection of 30 classic foreign literature books that will help you develop literacy and critical thinking skills.

《1984》, 《Brave New World》, and 《Jane Eyre》 are famous classics that everyone knows just by hearing their titles, but not many students have actually read and savored these books.
This is because it is not easy to read while understanding a culture different from ours.
Accordingly, in “30 Must-Read Classics of the Life and Death Book: Foreign Literature,” we have carefully selected thirty great works that have left their mark on the history of world literature, and have provided a foundation for understanding the classics by including not only the synopsis of each work, but also the life and unique characteristics of the author, and the historical background in which the work was written.
Moreover, by including issues in the book that have continued from the past to the present, it helped to connect appreciation of the work with the ability to think about the present.
