A Moment's Grace: Stories of Korea in Transition

By: Holstein, John

Book Overview

A Moment's Grace presents short stories that depict the core of Korea's modernization, from Liberation in 1945 to the Seoul Olympics in 1988. The stories here provide a view of the process through the eyes of ordinary people as they were affected by the historical and social forces that formed modern Korea. A separate background chapter affords a description of these forces with the intention of providing the reader with a better understanding of both the stories and the culture that produced them.
