Korejské halušky - Veselé historky z cest po Jižní Koreji – Sakmárová Dominika (2024)

South Korea is not just kimchi and K-pop! ***** Embark on a fun journey through South Korea with the author of the quirky travelogue Cat Fur and a Camel at the Great Wall of China. ***** Korean Dumplings is the second book by sinologist Dominika Sakmárová. The author packs her bags again and sets off for an adventure, this time with her whole family, and even further east – to hyper-modern South Korea, a country that must always be a step ahead and where they accept credit cards even at cotton candy stalls. ***** Dominika has transformed her experiences from a place overflowing with cultural differences into more than sixty short chapters that will not only entertain you but also teach you many things. In the pages of the book, you will take a peek into a kindergarten, taste traditional dishes, discover local fashion, and learn about the difference between hygienic and unhygienic nature or how to properly insulate your windows with bubble wrap before the harsh winter. The author narrates briskly, with perspective and humor. ***** Readers will surely enjoy the bonus stories and accompanying illustrations by Michaela Ahonen.
