Over dit product

Product Information

The defiant dictatorship of North Korea and the thriving democracy of South Korea may appear starkly different, but they share a complex and often misunderstood history that is ably recounted in "Everlasting Flower," Keith Pratt" "traverses the ancient landscapes of the Koreas, from the kingdoms of Old Choson and Wiman Choson to the present-day 38th Parallel division. The book's engaging narrative details the wars, ruling dynasties, Chinese and Japanese imperialism, and controversial historical events such as the abuses of the Japanese occupation. "Everlasting Flower" applies an equally careful eye to religious practices, dress, and food, and augments the narrative with richly illustrated pictorial essays. As the Korean peninsula assumes a prominent role in world affairs, "Everlasting Flower" offers an invaluable survey of Korean history and culture.

Reviews
Everlasting Floweris significant because for the first time there is a single book which surveys the whole cultural history of Korea, showing Korea's development within the Chinese cultural world, and demonstrating how the civilization of the peninsula changed under the impact of western and Japanese cultural influences in the twentieth century . . . Pratt brings a comparative perspective to his discussion of Korean history which gives the book a breadth often missing in other works., . . . highly readable, well organised study of Korean history from earliest times to the present day., . . . a very solidly researched, well-balanced and enjoyable read peppered with glimpses of wit and personal observation. It will be a valuable introduction to Korean history for undergraduates, non-academics and more specialist readers alike and one that will hopefully inspire further reading., a solidly researched, well-balanced and enjoyable read peppered with glimpses of wit and personal observation. It will be a valuable introduction to Korean history for undergraduates, non-academics and more specialist readers alike, This book provides an informative and comprehensive coverage of the history of Korea from the prehistorical era to the present . . . What distinguishes this book from other general histories of Korea is its thorough and meticulous survey of Korean cultural history . . . The author does a superb job in analyzing the factors behind changes in Korean culture, in presenting Korea's cultural accomplishments, and assessing its often underestimated or even neglected contributions to the East Asian tradition. Experts as well as non-experts will find interesting and insightful knowledge of Korea and East Asia . . . an excellent choice as a textbook for college level classes . . . and a wonderful companion for Korea-bound travellers
