We've included a map to the shop and a news story (in Korean) about the book.
About the book:
The poems in this collection are located between a lost world and today’s modernity, poised between celebration and lamentation, as icons of loss and yearning. The reader is carried into unfamiliar spaces of scenery and also of language, as the translators retain echoes of the Korean originals, intent on transmitting each poet’s vision of an unfamiliar other place to readers who are eager to be transported.
- Brother Anthony, literary translator and professor emeritus of Sokang University
EVENTS
Mozart, L’Opera Rock
French musical "Mozart, L’Opera Rock" comes to Seoul with its original French cast. A dramatization of the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the show features both pop-rock numbers and, or course, works by Mozart himself. The show not only drew 1.1 million people to its debut run at the Palais des Sports de Paris in 2009-2010, but also drew 1.5 million viewers during a short European tour. The Korean-language version of the show, too, was a big hit when it played in Seoul in 2012. This is the original cast's first performance in Asia.
