Lee Hyo-kyung: Korean books at the University of Washington

What book did Korea have from the end of the Korean Union to 1945, during the first colonial period? A book that would be a hint to this question. The book, which was chosen in the 44 books published between 1900 and 1945 by the East Asian Library of Washington in Seattle, U.S.A., added to its literary value the interest of introducing various stories. As much as it was during the days of the colonial occupation, books that were in harmony with the contemporary calling are definitely visible. The enlightenment of modern citizens, the change in books that promote independence and translations that add color to the language, from Chinese to Korean, and from Korean to Korean printing. The author, who has been a Korean student at the U.S. university library for over 20 years, takes books that have drawn his mind and attention and shows him the modern and historic views of the times and of the peoples of his day.
