Seoul, Capital of Korea, Japan-the Country, Japan-the Cities (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a fascinating journey through the streets and history of Seoul, Korea, in the early 20th century. The author, a keen observer, captures the striking contrast between the ancient and the new, the traditional and the modern. We encounter Korean society on the cusp of change, where the elegant, horsehair hats of noblemen sit alongside electric trams and American-built railways, while the rigid customs of the past are slowly being challenged by foreign influence and progressive ideas. The book provides a vivid portrayal of Korean culture, from the complex rituals of mourning to the importance of family and ancestral tombs. The author details the role of the queen, her influence on the king, and the turbulent events that led to her tragic death. He also examines the impact of Japanese colonialism and the uneasy balance of power between Japan, China, and Korea. The author's sharp eye for detail and his insightful observations offer a captivating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Korean history, highlighting the struggle between tradition and modernization, and the powerful forces at play in shaping the destiny of a nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330583081_0
