한국의 역사와 문화 이야기,

역사 선생님들이 전 세계 사람들에게 전하는 이야기

이 책에는 한국인의 이야기가 담겨 있습니다. 그들이 어떻게 통일된 나라를 이루고 자신들만의 문화와 정체성을 확립했는지, 그리고 한국전쟁과 한반도 분단 등 온갖 위기를 겪으며 어떻게 뭉쳤는지 모두 여기에 있습니다. 한국인이 항상 담아온 희망의 메시지는 한국인의 자랑스러운 역사를 다른 사람들에게 더 효과적으로 전달하고, 전 세계 사람들이 한국의 과거를 더 생생하고 열정적으로 이해할 수 있게 해줍니다.

한국 역사와 문화 세계 시민들이 읽어야 할 책

이 책은 창간부터 근대에 이르기까지 한국 역사를 다룬 역사 텍스트입니다. 특히 한국의 전근대 사회를 자세히 다룹니다. 오랜 역사에도 불구하고 한반도 외부에서는 그 사회와 문화 속의 삶에 대해 이야기하는 경우가 드뭅니다. 이 책은 역사적 사건을 연대기적으로 정리하기보다는 한국인이 겪은 다양한 경험이 그들의 삶과 문화에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지, 그 문화가 한국 역사를 구축하는 데 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지 의문을 제기함으로써 역사적 사건의 세부 사항에 더 초점을 맞추고 있습니다. 이미 한국 역사를 소개한 책이 많지만 이 책을 출간하는 이유도 바로 여기에 있습니다. 독자들은 한국인이 견뎌온 것이 무엇인지, 그리고 그것이 오늘날 세계에서 어떻게 자신의 위치로 이어졌는지 깨달을 수 있었습니다. 또한 그들의 도덕적 가치와 옳고 그름에 대해서도 언급하고 있습니다.

The Story of Korea's History and Culture,

Told by the History Teachers to the People Around the World

Told in this book, is the story of the Korean people. How they formed a unified country and established their own culture and identity, and how they held together through all kinds of crises like the Korean war and the eventual division of the peninsula, they are all here. The message of hope the Korean people have always carried lets us tell the Koreans' proud history more effectively to others, and lets the people around the world understand the past of Korea, more vividly and passionately.

Korean History and Culture World Citizens Should Read

This book is a historical text that covers Korean history from its foundation to the modern era. It especially deals with pre-modern societies of Korea in detail. Despite its long history, life in its society and its culture are rarely spoken of outsides the peninsula. Rather than arranging the historical events chronologically, this book focuses more on the details of the historical events by questioning how the diverse experiences that Koreans had affected their life and culture and what influences that culture had on constructing Korean history. This is the reason why we publish this book, although there are already numerous books that introduced Korean history. Readers could realize what Koreans have endured and how it lead to their position in the world today. It also mentions their moral values and what they believe is right or wrong.

L'histoire et la culture de la Corée,

Racontée par les professeurs d'histoire aux gens du monde entier

Dans ce livre, c'est l'histoire du peuple coréen. Comment ils ont formé un pays unifié et établi leur propre culture et identité, et comment ils ont tenu ensemble toutes sortes de crises comme la guerre de Corée et la division éventuelle de la péninsule, ils sont tous là. Le message d'espoir que le peuple coréen a toujours porté nous permet de raconter plus efficacement la fière histoire des Coréens et de faire comprendre aux gens du monde entier le passé de la Corée, avec plus de vivacité et de passion.

Histoire et culture coréennes Les citoyens du monde devraient lire

Ce livre est un texte historique qui couvre l'histoire coréenne depuis sa fondation jusqu'à l'ère moderne. Il traite en particulier en détail des sociétés prémodernes de Corée. Malgré sa longue histoire, la vie dans sa société et sa culture sont rarement évoquées en dehors de la péninsule. Plutôt que d'organiser les événements historiques de façon chronologique, ce livre met davantage l'accent sur les détails des événements historiques en remettant en question les diverses expériences que les Coréens avaient eues sur leur vie et leur culture. C'est la raison pour laquelle nous publions ce livre, bien qu'il y ait déjà de nombreux livres qui ont introduit l'histoire coréenne. Les lecteurs pourraient comprendre ce que les Coréens ont enduré et comment cela mène à leur position dans le monde d'aujourd'hui. Il mentionne également leurs valeurs morales et ce qu'ils croient être bien ou mal.
