Professor of Cultural Anthropology Kyungdok Lee talks about the main plots and heroes of Korean mythology, and explains the symbolism and hidden meaning of ancient legends and tales. Korea has long been under the influence of other countries, and its mythology has been thoroughly forgotten. Now that the culture of this country is conquering the world, it is time to learn more not only about its present, but also about its past. In Korean legends, dragons rule the seas, the afterlife is an endless flower meadow, and women often defeat men. The author of the book clearly shows that if you look deeper into these bizarre and fascinating stories, you can find the key to understanding the entire Korean culture. Kyungdok Lee shows the true Korean mythology through the eyes of a Korean. These amazing stories bear the imprint of a unique culture, with its worldview, so different from the Western one. And at the same time, they will be understandable to everyone - this is the power of myth, uniting people all over the world.
