Book Introduction
Jeong Yu-jeong's first essay.
A cheerful and lively Annapurna trek
A cheerful and lively Annapurna trek
“I was laughing so hard that my heart started to ache.”
Amazon Jung Yu-jeong, the author of the novels "Seven Years of Night" and "28"
The brave and daring Annapurna fantasy trek
The anguish of a novelist, an inner record that melts together past and present.
My first overseas trip was to the Himalayas of Nepal! Novelist Jeong Yu-jeong's lively first essay.
The first essay by Jeong Yu-jeong, who created a sensation in the Korean literary world with her novels “Seven Years of Night” and “28.”
To gain the courage to face the world again, he bravely decides to go on his first trip in his life to the Himalayas, the land of the gods that Seungmin, the protagonist of his novel “Shoot My Heart,” longed for until his last moment.
This is a record of the 17-day Annapurna Fantasy Trek, which I embarked on with my reliable partner, author Kim Hye-na, to see the sea of stars that unfold there.
Author Jeong Yu-jeong, who was like a runaway locomotive, had many stories to tell the world, and longed to be called a true storyteller, ran as if galloping toward readers with only four full-length novels, without ever publishing a single short story.
However, after finishing the manuscript of "28" last year, I found myself feeling extremely drained of internal energy and lethargic.
The fighter who was rushing towards his life's destination has disappeared.
I had to find a solution.
Annapurna came to his mind.
It was the place where the protagonist of the novel he wrote wished to free himself from his bondage and fly away.
…the engine of desire has turned off.
The world of the story, my world, the fighter who was rushing towards the destination of life had disappeared.
It was something I never imagined.
There was absolutely no way to prepare for it.
I was just confused.
The pile of novel materials, books, and new notebooks on the desk seemed like a mirage, unreal.
I felt fear beyond bewilderment at the overwhelming emptiness.
I'm afraid someone will notice my condition.
I'm afraid I'll never be able to write again.
I thought, "I'll just write a few novels and then fall apart."
I whined like a puppy and ended up crying.
“I’m going to Annapurna.”
It's not optional.
It's a matter of survival.

Publisher's Review
The Annapurna Circuit, chosen as a healing method for Jeong Yu-jeong, is a challenging trekking course that circles the Annapurna peak in the central Himalayas of Nepal from east to west.
This is a natural journey that allows you to see the beautiful mountains and passes of Annapurna, and experience the diverse cultures of the eastern Manang region and the western Mustang region. The mission is to cross the Thorung La Pass at an altitude of 5,416 meters.
This is a trekking course that can be enjoyed by anyone, not just professional mountaineers, but also requires strong physical and mental strength to complete. Because of the high altitude, there is also a risk of altitude sickness.
He decides to challenge this fantasy race, regardless of the opposition from those around him.
Finding the courage to question life again in the embrace of Annapurna
The protagonists in Jeong Yu-jeong's novels are always traveling to unfamiliar worlds, such as islands in the southern provinces, a village sleeping beneath a reservoir, the boundless depths of the ocean, and Alaska on a dog sled.
He seems like a world travel expert just from reading his novels, but he was actually a natural born traveler with a self-proclaimed homebody who didn't even have a passport until he decided to travel.
I only knew how to write novels.
When I decided to go to the Himalayas, I was at a loss as to where to look for a travel agency.
Eventually, with the help of those around him, he prepares and sets off on a journey with the help of his junior novelist, Kim Hye-na.
But as he embarks on a journey to gain the courage to face the world again, accidents keep happening.
The weather is not good and I have an unspeakable illness.
Besides, I have a suspicion that the cold I have now might be altitude sickness, and the medicine I took to prevent altitude sickness is causing some rather unpleasant side effects.
The 'fantasy trek' that goes around Annapurna, the 'goddess of abundance', soon becomes a 'fantasy wandering' where you lose your way and go around in circles.
The way Jeong Yu-jeong talks about the hardships she has faced so fluently sometimes breaks your heart, and other times, it has a strange power that makes you laugh out loud.
While smiling at the mistakes he made due to his clumsy travels, I am also impressed by his tenacity in not giving up despite the physical pain.
When he, who had continued his march through tears and laughter, safely crossed the most difficult obstacle, the Thorong La Pass, with the help of his warm and reliable companions, the emotion conveyed was no less than that of his novels.
Moreover, the past story that created the current Jeong Yu-jeong unfolds like a novel, providing a rich and interesting experience and intertwined with the present journey.
For readers curious about the author's past, present, and future path, this essay, in which he reveals his inner struggles for the first time, will be a great gift.
On the road, Jeong Yu-jeong continues to ask questions.
When the trip is over, when you return, will you be able to face the world?
Can he turn himself, who has lost all his strength, into a fighter who can stand in the ring again?
Finally, in the embrace of Annapurna, which I had finally climbed, I shed tears of joy and prayed for the strength to stand up again.
It was only after completing his journey that he found Annapurna's answer, writing an essay about his travels that he had never intended to write.
I thought of my voice asking about Annapurna.
Can I go back into the world and fight with myself again?
The voice that had answered back then gave the same answer.
Until the day I die.
