Description

※ Color interior on white paper Heartfelt and inspirational biography on a successful king who built one of the most prosperous nations in the world history. Years of hard work from a staggering array of archival sources and diligent new analysis on historical, archaeological and linguistic discoveries have been done for this series. The goal is not to brag about the hard research the author has conducted, but to make the complicated history short, clear and easy for the readers. People don't remember that this great king was once a failure as the prince of a pitiful country surrounded by giant empires. Growing upon a lot of bitter lessons from his own failures this young man considered himself humble, but his people have loved and remembered him as the greatest leader in their national history. This self-edited storybook sheds new light on the background and motives of the young king CO Damduk (AD 374-412), who lived with the people, among the people, through the hardest moment in their lives. Some point out the names of the polities different than the standard they've been taught. But what if the current standards they believe are true were not really true? If a daddy trying to put a jacket on his kid starts the first button wrong, despite his love of the kid, he will make the kid look pretty stupid in that cloth after all. By whom and when were the standards they know today as truth established and settled as familiar facts for those who've been educated under the same standard? Can we really tell the founders of these standards knew everything with perfect evidence, or did they have to use some imagination or assumption of their own? How about the ancient country names we know today? Do we really have to believe that the people of the country who actually lived in that country two thousand years ago really called the country the way we call it today in our modern language? If you read out loud to record and listen to the lines from William Shakespeare's original works of the 16th century, or lines from "Beowulf", written even before William the Conqueror of the 11th century, you will feel like you are listening to a foreign language trying to understand what in Heaven's name the lines are talking about. Same way the Koreans today voice-recorded any of their 15th-century books written in the early Hangre alphabets and listened to it, they'd feel the same uncomfortable struggle to understand it; as a matter of fact the interpretation is a tough job even for the professors and experts in linguistics. Besides, what if the name has been only recorded in pictograms, not phonograms, without any voice record? The standard way to read certain pictographic characters has changed through centuries. There has been a fair amount of study on this young ancient leader Damduk "Gwanggaeto" the Great both in Korea and the U.S. for last many decades, yet this fascinating character and his life story have not been known enough to the people outside the two Korean republics. Provocative, absorbing, utterly cogent, at times controversial, Damduk, Alexander of the East finally makes sense of this Human ancestor of ours whose warm-hearted, humane dreams and effects reverberate to these days. The author spared no effort getting at the truth: Not to mention his restless study of the old texts to find out what's true and what's distorted under evident social and political reasons of the old times, he even marched miles into deserted places and climbed up mountain tops to see many forgotten places with his own eyes. Thanks to the author's hard work and discoveries, readers will have a new understanding of this celebrated young king, not only in Korean history, but within our Human history.
