Аннотация

This book is a historical text that covers the history of Korea from its founding to the modern era. It examines in particular the societies of Korea before modern times. Despite its long history, life in Korean society and its culture are rarely talked about outside the peninsula. Instead of arranging historical events in chronological order, this book focuses more on the details of historical events, asking how the diverse experiences of Koreans influenced their lives and culture and what impact this culture had on the construction of Korean history. It is for this reason that we are publishing this book, although there are already many books that introduce Korean history.
