Three Generations of Railway Workers
In this novel, whose characters sometimes interact with... real historical figures and sometimes with ghosts, the most significant events of Korean history of the 20th and 21st centuries are reflected.
Several generations of the Lee family gradually struggle against Japanese, American, and South Korean authorities for the right to live freely and with dignity in their country.
The main idea of the novel is voiced by one of the characters:
«This imperfect world always changes in ways we wish it wouldn’t. But even that takes too much time. We are merely specks in the endless flow of time.»
«A grand and all-encompassing novel about Korea, as we rarely see it in the West»
