Asia Publishers present some of the very best modern Korean literature to readers worldwide through its new Korean literature series "Bi-lingual Edition Modern Korean Literature". We are proud and happy to offer it in the most authoritative translation by renowned translators of Korea literature. We hope that this series helps to build solid bridges between citizens of the world and Koreans through rich in-depth understanding of Korea. The Bilingual Editions of modern Korean fiction issued by ASIA Publishers constitute the first extended series of Korean literature that incorporates both the original Korean text and an English translation. The variety of voices included, many of them underrepresented in translation until now, bespeaks the vibrancy of a millennia-old literary tradition that is finally gaining international visibility. Attractively produced and reasonably priced, these volumes offer an excellent introduction to the heart and soul of modern Korean fiction. - Bruce Fulton, University of British Columbia Asia Publishers' Korean-English makes a major contribution to world literature, offering a thematically organized, diverse collection of the most important, cutting edge Korean writers working over the last fifty years. Masterfully translated, this bilingual series will prove invaluable to readers everywhere and to the classroom. Most highly recommended for those seeking a window to the richness of modern Korean literature and culture. - Theodore Q. Hughes, Columbia University (Korea Foundation Associate Professor of Korean Studies in the Humanities, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures)
