Collating contemporary Korean poetry and intricately exploring the translation process, this book is ideal for researchers and advanced level students of Korean Studies, Translation Studies and Literature with an interest in translation.
Download or read book Forget Mountains Not written by Kim Goeng Pil and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sijo is Korea's distinct form of poetry that has poetically followed the rhythm of the country's tranquil nature and turbulent history, giving expression to the enduring spirit of her people. Since its origins in the ancient Goryeo Kingdom as a short lyrical form of three dramatic lines sung to music, sijo flourished during the Joseon Kingdom that followed. Joseon's greatest king, King Sejong, fulfilled a need for the fledgling nation by scientifically creating the Hangeul writing system for the benefit of all people. With Hangeul being the ideal means to properly express in writing the precise sounds and rhythm of the Korean language, the poets of Joseon, from commoners, entertainers, scholars and royalty, composed a wide range of sijo poetry over the centuries. Finding expression as a literary form, these poetic contributions have been collected and passed down to become the classics of Korean sijo poetry enjoyed today. The rhythm of sijo poetry has journeyed in the hearts of the Korean people through the centuries. Keeping this enduring essence at heart within this volume of translations is the rhythm unique to sijo. Just as the rhythm was essential in guiding the poets of old to find poetic expression, the essential guiding principle of translating the classics of Korean sijo into English has been keeping to the ideal rhythmic pattern of sijo's traditional poetic form. Beyond strictly translating, each sijo was carefully recomposed to be reborn into English. Following the rhythm so essential to this poetic form, the poetic imagery and meanings of words were sequenced as closely as possible in English to keep the dramatic progression and pacing as the respective poet originally intended to inspire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword by Edward O. Wilson, this book brings together internationally known experts from the scientific, societal, and conservation policy areas who address policy responses to the problem of biodiversity loss: how to determine conservation priorities in a scientific fashion, how to weigh the long-term, often hidden value of conservation against the more immediate value of land development, the need for education in areas of rapid population growth, and how lack of knowledge about biodiversity can impede conservation efforts. United in their belief that conservation of biological diversity is a primary concern of humankind, the contributing authors address the full scope of global biodiversity and its decline -- the threatened marine life and extinction of many mammals in the modern era in relation to global patterns of development, and the implications of biodiversity loss for human health, agricultural productivity, and the economy. The Living Planet in Crisis is the result of a conference of the American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation.
Download or read book The Book of Korean Shijo written by Kevin O'Rourke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Korean genre known as shijo is short song lyrics. Originally meant to be sung rather than recited, these short poems are light, personal, and very often conversational. The language is simple, direct, and devoid of elaboration or ornamentation. The shijo poet gives a firsthand account of his personal experience of life and emotion: the rise and fall of dynasties, friendship, love, parting, the pleasures of wine, the beauty and transience of life, the inexorable advance of old age. In this anthology of translations of 612 shijo, Kevin O'Rourke introduces the English reader to this venerable and witty style of verse. The anthology covers the entire range of shijo production from the tenth century to the modern era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preeminent scholar and translator David R. McCann presents an anthology of his own translations of works ranging across the major genres and authors of Korean writing—stories, legends, poems, historical vignettes, and other works—and a set of critical essays on major themes. A brief history of traditional Korean literature orients the reader to the historical context of the writings, thus bringing into focus this rich literary tradition.

Three exploratory essays of particular subtlety and lucidity raise interpretive and comparative issues that provide a creative, sophisticated framework for approaching the selections.
