Description 작품 소개

This novel by Kim Hoon was published in 2001 and won the Dong-in Literary Award the same year. It deals with the personal life and communal ethics of General Yi Sun-sin, who achieved naval victories unprecedented in the history of naval warfare. With delicacy and precision, the author portrays the uneasy inner life of the man responsible for the outcome of the Japanese invasion. Through its criticisms of the politicians of the period who neglected to perform their historical duties, the novel provides a helpful parallel, offering a critical view of present-day Korean society.
