Can a person remain themselves when there is almost nothing left of their world? How to endure loneliness if it has become familiar, and the past is the only reality? The story of the last shepherd is a slow farewell to...
what cannot be held: to people, vanished villages, and irretrievable time. Here, among the warm breath of a cow and the sound of the wind in empty fields, memory becomes the only companion, and every crack in the soul echoes with the long-gone years. "The Last Shepherd" is a collection of short stories by the outstanding South Korean writer Hyun Gi-Yeong about memory, loss, and life at the turning point of eras. One of the most important prose writers of modern Korea, he dedicated more than forty years to literature and was twice awarded national prizes for his contribution to culture.
