商品簡介
A comprehensive compilation of the basic materials necessary to study Korean thought, religion, and culture, for students and general readers, based on the five-volume Korean edition published from 1984 to 1986. The complete Sourcebook is arranged chronologically by the five major epochs of Korean history, Volume One featuring the first three periods: the Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla (57 B.C.-935), Koryo (918-1392) and Early Choson (1392-1600). Each section begins with a broad historical introduction and each source extract is accompanied by commentary, background, and analysis. A huge achievement, bringing the heart of this culture within the ken of a broad English-speaking audience. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
