Description
This paperback novella follows a poet whose life becomes a parable of hope in Yi Mun-yol’s searching exploration of art, status and selfhood. With their family condemned as traitors, two young brothers are sent away in disguise to save their lives. One grows up by his wits, accepting what has been lost, while the other follows a different path, determined to restore the family’s place in the world. As he wanders in search of recognition as a poet, ambition and survival begin to pull him in opposing directions. Part of the Brief Encounters series of classic novellas and captivating stories, it can be read in a single sitting or savoured over days.
