Big book of Korean monsters. From the nine-tailed Kumiho fox to the phoenix Ponghwang
29.99 €
Korea is a land of amazing but forgotten mythical creatures. It has long been inhabited by fearsome dragons, the nine-tailed fox Kumiho, the phoenix Ponhwan, and the insatiable ghost Kolgwi. This illustrated encyclopedia tells the story of 182 such monsters.
The book is organized into four parts. The first introduces the monsters (kwemul), which are tangible beast-like or humanoid creatures. The second tells about ghosts (kwisin). The third is about objects that have unique powers (mulgon). The fourth is about spirits (shin) who have coexisted with humans since ancient times. Spirits, as well as monsters, are divided into several types according to their qualities. Each section contains distinctive illustrations depicting spirits, monsters, and artifacts. And quotes from ancient Korean treatises and urban legends help you believe that it's all real.
