In this fascinating collection of writings on times past in Korea the author helps to lift the veil on this once closed country, providing the reader with a wide selection of first-hand accounts by travellers who 'discovered' Korea.
In earlier times, for the Chinese, Korea was ''the country of courteous people from the east'', and for westerners ''the land of the morning calm'' or ''hermit kingdom''. In this fascinating collection of writings on times past in Korea the author helps to lift the veil on this once closed country, providing the reader with a wide selection of first-hand accounts by travellers who ''discovered'' Korea - some as snapshots by those passing through, others more detailed evaluations of Korean culture and everyday life by those who spent time there. The collection covers a period of over 400 years - from Hendrik Hamel''s journal of the 1600s to early 20th century records, such as Roy C. Andrew''s 1918 published account of his expedition, entitled Exploring Unknown Corners of the ''Hermit Kingdom''.
