Into the book
Seohee was sleeping beautifully on the bed.
Bong-soon was also lying down, that is, with her face turned towards him, and they were both asleep.
Seohee was standing upright, with her face slightly tilted towards me.
As the saying goes, "If a child doesn't resemble its mother, who else can resemble their child?", Yong-i felt as if he was seeing the face of the beautiful Lady Byeoldang in the sleeping Seo-hee.
The woman he had only seen two or three times from afar, the woman's appearance, the face of Seo-hee who was asleep again, the memories like the sunset coming from the distant river below, took Yong-i, who was over thirty, back to the past, to his childhood.
---From "Petite Love"
They walk side by side, looking at the field.
Although there was an age gap of over twenty years, they looked similar, and Kim Hoon-jang, wearing a traditional Korean jacket, barely indicated his status with the hat on his graying hair and the long pipe he held in his hand. He looked worn out from hard work and had aged quickly, just like a farmer you would commonly encounter in any village.
On the contrary, the old man, Moon-ui-won, who has aged cleanly and wisely like a scholar, and is still in good health, appears to have a gentlemanly yet bold personality, so Kim Hoon-jang's personality is beyond words.
---From "Dream"
Although it was not that the Choi Cham-pan's family had persecuted him, the situation of the perpetrator, who was undoubtedly a member of the military family, was boring.
Even though it was already known that he was homeless, Kang Po-su's feelings about having to spend the Chuseok holiday at someone else's house were complicated and sad.
I never knew that Chuseok, which I had spent without much thought, eating rice cakes at the homes of farmers or my regular tavern, would be such a lonely and desolate day.
---From "The Weakened Moon"
The room was warm with breakfast prepared, a fire lit deep in the hearth, and even a brazier placed in it.
Seed bags of corn, millet, and other grains hang from the rafters, and the smell of fermented soybeans being made in piles in the lower part of the building tickles the nose.
---From "Little Spring Temple"
The Choi Cham-pan household was busy with everything going on before the Lunar New Year.
The area centered around the kitchen was especially bustling.
Although Gwinyeo and Samwol were with Sarang and the maid in the main room, and Bongsoon was by their side, they had to take care of Seohee in the separate house, so they could not participate in the outside work, and they had called in the Kimseobang family, Nam-i, Yeon-i's housekeepers, and many women from the village, and had been trembling under Yeon-i's direction for several days.

Publisher's Review
“If my life had been smooth, I wouldn’t be writing.
“Life comes before literature.”
It captures both the elegance of the classics and the sensibility of the new era.
Special edition commemorating the 15th anniversary of Park Kyung-ni's death
Park Kyung-ni, a master who debuted in 1957 with the short story "Calculation" and left a huge mark on the history of Korean literature with the epic novel "Land" written over 26 years.
To mark the 15th anniversary of her passing, Dasan Books is publishing a new collection of Park Kyung-ni's works.
This is a grand project that will sequentially publish Park Kyung-ni's novels, essays, and poetry collections, including "Land," which is considered a legacy of Korean literature. It is a meaningful work that fully captures the author's literary world without omission or distortion.
This project brings together Park Kyung-ni's vast works, which penetrate the core of Korean society and literature, and newly discovered, unpublished works will also be published after a meticulous editing process.
Park Kyung-ni's works, which were considered classics long ago, have not had the opportunity to be read anew.
This special edition, published this time, goes beyond preserving the original text's expressions and correcting previous errors, and presents a book with a completely different atmosphere from existing editions by imbuing it with a new sense of the times.
For readers who have previously read Park Kyung-ni's work, we have carefully composed it so that it can offer a fresh experience that breaks the mold, and for readers who are encountering her work for the first time, it can offer a taste of the dignity and excellence of a classic.
The cover design, which cleanly sheds the previous dullness while still maintaining the unique flavor of each work, makes it suitable for both reading and collecting.
We hope that you will experience the essence of Park Kyung-ni's literature, a name that will remain forever in the history of Korean literature, once again through Dasan Books' project.
“I think I have to ask myself again about literature.
“For the truth that wanders in the far, far away shore.”
The greatest classic of our time
Experience a masterpiece of Korean literature with a modern sensibility!
Park Kyung-ni's epic novel "Land," a true monumental work in Korean literature, is being reborn with a modern sensibility 54 years after its initial publication.
As is well known, 『Land』, which vividly records the major events of our modern history, is a work that sharply demonstrates the aesthetic sensibility of our language.
It is true that 『Land』 is a representative work of Korean literature that no one can deny and has been read nationwide to this day.
"Land" was written over a period of 26 years, from 1969 to 1994, and boasts a massive volume of approximately 40,000 pages of 200-character manuscript paper.
"Land" takes place from the late Joseon Dynasty to August 15, 1945, the day of liberation.
Through its fundamental exploration of human universality and vivid portrayal of the suffering of our people under Japanese colonial rule, the epic novel "Land" has established itself as the essence of 20th-century Korean literature.
2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the publication of "Land."
The 2023 edition of "Land," published by Dasan Books, has undergone a meticulous editing process, including months of research, to ensure that this work, which was completed 30 years ago, is delivered to readers with as few errors and minimal damage as possible.
We have also reorganized the vocabulary and genealogy chart to make it more concise and accurate for readers to understand.
Park Kyung-ni's essay, "The Years of Writing 'Land,'" which was not available in previous editions, has been included for the first time, helping readers to experience author Park Kyung-ni's reflections during the long period of time she spent writing 'Land,' from as close a distance as possible.
The first preface to "The Years of Writing 'Land'"
“Countless incidents, countless people,
“The breadth and depth of thought are like a jungle.”
“I feel extremely comfortable now and I don’t feel lonely.
I am now old and my children are doing quite well like everyone else, so I have nothing to complain about and no need to remember the unpleasant things. I am just grateful.
But there is one thing to remember.
There were many people who helped and encouraged us while we were writing "Land," and who warmly embraced us during the seven years of suffering.
I really can't forget it.
To be honest, I'm at a loss right now.
What did I do to deserve this gentle rain?
There is no life that is not lived fiercely.
It is painful for any living thing to survive.
And no matter what hardships we face, life is beautiful and nothing is as true as life.
Tragedy and comedy, happiness and unhappiness, death and birth, meeting and parting, beauty and ugliness, joy and sorrow, hope and despair, good fortune and bad fortune—a life that accepts and embraces all such contradictions is beautiful.
And nothing is as true as life itself.
Isn't literature an expression of the will to overcome that contradiction?
I feel like I'm back to square one now.
I guess I have to ask myself again about literature.
“For the truth that wanders in the far, far away shore.”
_Park Kyung-ni, from “The Years of Writing ‘Land’”
