Renowned orientalist Andrei Lankov describes how daily life in Korea has changed over the past few centuries, which for this country have been a time of tumultuous events and gigantic changes.
The book consists of essays, each of which is devoted to a certain aspect of Korean everyday life. Over these three centuries, the small kingdom on the far edge of Eurasia came into first contact with the West, became a colony of Japan, then regained its independence, and finally, after a division between the South and the North and years of bloody feuds, became one of the richest and most distinctive countries in the world. The book tells how all these events affected the lives of ordinary Koreans: how food and clothing changed, how newspapers and trains appeared, how Korean oligarchs made their first millions, how Koreans became addicted to beer and coffee, how the birth rate changed with the growing wealth of the Republic of Korea, and how the South now treats the North.
