Explanation Toward Books The Poet

A young man's determination to maintain his integrity in an unjust society forces him to endure a lonely and dangerous odyssey.

When a governor to the King falls into rebel hands, he switches sides to save his skin. When later he is captured by royal troops, it is not only he that is condemned to death as a traitor but his sons and grandsons too. They survive by subterfuge, but though they keep their lives, they have lost their place in society.

The Poet tells the story of Kim, the younger grandson, who is consigned to a life of wandering and vagrancy even as he struggles for recognition as a poet, who is constantly tempted to make compromises - to the point of betraying his own family - to survive as an artist and a free spirit.

Judgment Containing Books The Poet

Yi Mun-Yol's "The Poet" opens with a scene of startling power: a mother from a noble Korean house keens as her four and six year old sons are sent away with a freed serf to hide them from the royal edict of execution against the entire family. The boys' destination is another serf emancipated so that he will hide them; he scolds them in public to keep up the appearance of being the true father only to apologize to them afterwards. The family's sin is to descend from a grandfather who has not

Yi Mun-yol made a strong impression, particularly on young readers, with two early works, Son of Man (1979) and A Portrait of My Youth (1981). The theme of both is a young mans quest for spiritual enlightenment. He returns to the theme in this work, this time following the initially young man through his entire life. Of the three works The Poet is the most interesting and also the most artistically successful.The book begins with an Authors Preface that is signed Yi Mun-yol and is evidently to

Zase jedna literární libůstka o životě korejského básníka Kim Sakkata (vlastním jménem Kim Pjongjon, 1807 - 1863) - aristokrata původem, tulákem, milovníkem žen a dobrého vína.......Za soumraku ptáci na jedné větvi usínají, za úsvitu rozletí se každý jinam. Podívej. Lidský život už je takový, k čemu je máčet si rukávy slzami?......Vždycky už budu litovat, že jsem se nedala na studium asijských jazyků. Kde jinde můžete vyjádřit květ broskvoně zopakováním znaku *hořet* nebo vrbu zopakováním znaku

Korean historical fiction of a poet's life. Content interesting but flat, like The gardens of light ( Maalouf)

I really wanted to like 'the poet' but I did not enjoy it as much as I wanted. Slow to start, it never got very exciting for me. I did not like their interpretation of the meaning of poetry as I found it rather convoluted and pretentious. The character of the poet did not appeal to me and I was not able to sympathise with him.

Dönemin şartlarını ve o zamanda yaşamanın zorluklarını bir şairin yaşamı ile çok güzel betimlemiş yazar. Şairin yaşamını betimlerken kendi hayatından kesitlere de yer vermiştir. Kitapta bazı yerlerde imla hataları olsa da okurken rahatsız etmiyor. http://kozmokitap.blogspot.com/2015/0...

A novel about the life of the early nineteenth century poet Kim Pyong-yon, told as the speculations of a present day narrator. The poet was the grandson of a "traitor", Kim Ik-s0n, who was executed for his support of a rebellion against the dynasty, and as a result was ostracized and excluded from the scholarly career he might have expected. He ultimately rejected the conventions of society and became a wandering poet. The novel is based on the facts of his life and his poetry, but at the same
