About the book

Penguin Book of Korean Short Stories by Various is a novel for adult readers.

A revelatory and richly varied collection of Korea's greatest short stories. This eclectic, moving and wonderfully enjoyable collection is the essential introduction to Korean literature. Journeying through Korea's dramatic twentieth century, from the Japanese occupation and colonial era to the devastating war between North and South and the rapid, disorienting urbanization of later decades, The Penguin Book of Korean Short Stories captures a hundred years of Korea's vibrant short-story tradition.

Here are peddlers and donkeys travelling across moonlit fields; artists drinking and debating in the tea-houses of 1920 s Seoul; soldiers fighting for survival; exiles from the war who can never go home again; and lonely men and women searching for connection in the dizzying modern city.
