Everlasting Flower
A History of Korea
Keith Pratt
Keith Pratt tells the story of this common heritage from the ancient states of Old Choson and Wiman Choson to the present relics of Cold War politics. He describes the physical and cultural landscape in which this history unfolds, dealing with religious identities and social aspects like food and drink, as well as more controversial issues such as punishment and torture, and the ?comfort women? of the Japanese occupation. In a series of short picture essays he introduces particular aspects of Korea?s past, including the world?s oldest observatory and the country?s famous turtle boats. Everlasting Flower: A History of Korea reveals a country which, although sandwiched between the more familiar worlds of China and Japan, has a distinct and rich cultural identity of its own.
