Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eungchil leads the carefree life of a vagabond, gambler, and thief. His brother Eungo, on the other hand, is a model citizen and peasant, but life has dealt him a poor hand: his wife struggles with a long illness and he can barely make ends meet. Knowing that there will be nothing left for him and his wife after paying the various taxes and fees, he doesn’t even bother to harvest his rice. Just when it seems that things could not get worse for Eungo, a thief comes in the night and steals the rice. Fearing the blame will fall on him, Eungchil sets out to catch the thief red-handed. This tale of two brothers by Kim Yu-jeong paints a vivid and painfully accurate picture of the hardships faced by Korean peasants in the early 20th century.

Download or read book Downpour written by Kim Yu-jeong and published by Literature Translation Institute of Korea. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Downpour” (Sonakbi, alternately translated as “The Rainstorm,” 1935), with its casual depiction of domestic violence, survival sex, and gambling as coping mechanisms in colonial-era rural Korea, offers a rare glimpse into what life must have been like for the uneducated and disempowered in that period. While the weather metaphor may strike some readers as slightly on-the-nose, it is executed with undeniable poetry, as exemplified in such scenes as Chunho and his wife (who is never named) sharing a rare moment in each other’s arms while rain batters against their roof. From the atmospheric first sentence to the laconically uttered last line, “Downpour” is a masterful piece of storytelling from one of the great voices of 1930s Korean literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who will you worship, man or God? Adam, Eve, and their sons, Cain and Abel, have settled in their post-Eden life and face many challenges. With Cain in charge, all of them are toiling on the soil day after day, exhausted and anxious. Cain worries that the season's harvest will not be enough after the upcoming annual sacrifice. He suggests that they offer God old grains instead of new ones from the recent harvest. One day, Abel leads his herd to the pasture and realizes that one little lamb has gone missing. He leaves the rest of the herd and ventures down to the valley of darkness to find it. But Abel gets stuck in the mud, and the king of black locusts appears. He demands Abel to bow down to it for life and prosperity in return. When Abel resists this tempting offer, he becomes filled with the fire of God and rescues himself and his lamb. Back at home, Cain is furious that Abel went all the way for just a little lamb, putting the rest of the flock in danger. That night, Cain also encounters the king of black locusts in his dream. Cain is tempted by the same offer. He chooses to bow down to it. The next day, the family heads to the River Euphrates for the annual sacrifice. Cain offers the old grains and asks God to bless them with a good harvest. However, the smoke from the altar falls to the ground instead of rising to heaven. As the whole family falls into despair because God has clearly rejected their sacrifice, Abel steps forward. Praying that God would send them his fire and restore them, he offers the lamb that he rescued on the altar. The very next moment, they see something coming down from heaven, and it was...

Download or read book The Ranch of the Golden Flowers written by Constance Lindsay Skinner and published by Bethlehem Books. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kansas ingenuity and determination meets Spanish grace and benevolence in this story of Old California in the years just before the Gold Rush of 1849. The wagon which has carried sixteen-year-old Lank and his younger sister Tess across the plains, mountains and desert, through sickness, misery and near death, falls to pieces on the edge of La Hacienda de las Flores de Oro—The Ranch of Golden Flowers. Taken in by the generous de Soto family, and befriended by the Munita and her brother Ernesto, the recently orphaned young people desire to find a way to repay their kind hosts. Both captivated by the gracious culture of Spanish colonial life and alarmed by its open-handed and, to Lank and Tess, outright improvident ways, the two set to work with a will. How they succeed in helping to prepare the de Sotos for the great changes ahead is engagingly played out against the colorful background of Old Californian life at its height. This book was part of a series of books by Constance Lindsay Skinner depicting pioneer and wilderness life, of which Bethlehem Books’ Becky Landers, Frontier Warrior is also a part.
