The eternal topic of self-development is foreign languages, especially English.
Even people who have already graduated from school often feel burdened by the thought that they need to study English consistently.
There are many ways for busy office workers, caught up in work and daily life, to improve their English skills.
You can either go to an academy or practice conversation through English phone lessons.
You can access it through YouTube or podcasts, or you can participate in study groups.
But, if there's one thing you can easily try during your lunch break at work or before going to bed at home, it's probably writing.
In that context, English manuscripts continue to enjoy popularity in the book market.
Hans Media's new book, "Such Beautiful English Sentences," is reaching readers by emphasizing that it is comprised of high-quality content selected from a variety of fields by a translator with 20 years of experience amidst the red ocean of manuscripts.

Into the book

I have been translating English into Korean for a long time, and my love for books and literature deepens day by day.
I cry and laugh over each paragraph and sentence, get through the day safely, and fall asleep looking forward to tomorrow.
When I feel empty, helpless, and sad, I open a book and read, and there I find a missing piece I was looking for.
I would be truly happy if, as readers transcribe sentences, they hear the sound of my pen, square by square, and find a piece that will lift them up, even if only for a moment.
--- p.9, from 「Prologue」

I can remember everything.
That's my curse, young man.
It's the greatest curse that's ever been inflicted on the human race: Memory.
I remember everything.
That's my curse, young man.
It is the greatest curse ever placed upon mankind.
I mean, memory.
--- p.28, from "Movie - Citizen Kane"

Ann revealed in the world of color about her.
“Oh, Marilla,” she exclaimed one Saturday morning, coming dancing in with her arms full of gorgeous boughs “I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn’t it?”
Anne was enchanted by the world filled with brilliant colors.
“Aunt Marilla,” Anne cried one Saturday morning, dancing down the steps with her arms full of maple leaves.
“I’m so happy to live in a world where there is October.
“Wouldn’t it be sad if September turned into November?”
--- p.102, from 「novel - Anne of Green Gables」

Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without singing them, was often a woman.
It was a woman Edward Fitzgerald, I think, suggested who made the ballads and the folk-songs, crooning them to her children, beguiling her spinning with them, or the length of the winter's night.
In fact, I dare to speculate that many of the so-called "unknown authors" who wrote countless poems anonymously were actually women.
As Edward Fitzgerald argued, it was undoubtedly women who lulled their children with folk tales and songs, and who soothed their boredom while spinning the spinning wheel or passing the long winter nights.
--- p.134, from "Essay - A Room of One's Own"

Always obey your parents.
When they are present.
This is the best policy in the long run.
Because if you don't, they will make you.
Most parents think they know better than you do, and you can generally make more by humoring that superstition than you can by acting on your own better judgment.
Always obey your parents.
When your parents are around.
In the long run, that's the smartest way to go.
Even if you don't do that, your parents will make you do it.
Most parents think they know better, but it's usually better for you to satisfy that superstition.
Then you can act according to your better judgment.
--- p.254, from "Speech - Advice to Young People"

They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't.
I never painted dreams.
I painted my own reality.
People may think I'm a surrealist, but I'm not.
I have never drawn a dream.
I drew my reality.
--- p.262, from "Words of Artists - Frida Kahlo"

There are moments when everything goes well; don't be scared, it won't last.
There are moments when everything goes well.
You shouldn't be surprised at this point.
It won't last long anyway.

--- p.316, from "Diary? The Diary of Jules Renard"

Publisher's Review

Translator, writer, and English-American content nerd
English texts loved by author Noh Ji-yang!

The reason why English manuscripts are popular is probably because they contain texts that are both familiar and interesting to us, compared to existing English textbooks.
This book, "Such Beautiful English Sentences," is a title that best utilizes the strengths of such an English manuscript collection.
The author, Noh Ji-yang, is a translator with 20 years of experience and is also the author of three books.
As a 'geek' who has consistently watched English-language films, dramas, documentaries, and even sports games since his college days when he majored in English literature, he generously shared his knowledge of English-language content that he has enjoyed watching, listening to, and listening to.
Thanks to this, the manuscript collection of over 150 texts was able to be composed in various fields such as novels, poetry, essays, self-help books, famous quotes, diaries, letters, and movies.
It includes not only giants of English literature like Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, the Brontë sisters, and Charles Dickens, but also the diaries of Anne Frank and Franz Kafka, letters from Virginia Woolf and Rainer Maria Rilke, the retirement speech of legendary baseball player Lou Gehrig, and famous lines from movies that have been loved by people around the world for a long time, such as [Casablanca] and [Gone with the Wind].

Kate Chopin, Vita Sackville-West, Mary Hunter Austin, etc.
Even the words of female celebrities that have not yet been widely introduced in Korea!

Another unique feature is that it includes works by lesser-known female writers, along with their records and quotes.
The book faithfully contains the witty and beautiful writings of many female writers, including Vita Sackville-West, who is known to have maintained a deep and long-standing relationship with Virginia Woolf, Anne Brontë, who has been overshadowed by her older sisters, and Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, and Susan Perkins Gilman, who have recently been translated and introduced in Korea.
"Such Beautiful English Sentences" is a collection of manuscripts that will be meaningful to readers, especially female readers, who want to encounter something different beyond the texts that would normally be found in an English manuscript collection.
