Today, I read the short story "The House" by Kyongni Pak , one of the best female writers in Korea in the 20th century. She was born on October 28, 1926, in Tongyeong, Gyeongnam, and graduated from Jinju Girls' High School in 1945, then she served as a teacher in YeoNan Girls' Middle School in Hwanghae Province in 1950.
In 1955, with the recommendation of the author Kim Dong-ri, Pak made her literary debut in 1955, with "Gyesan (Calculations)" and published "Black and Black and White and White" in the modern literature in 1956.
In particular, her epic novel "Toji (The Land)", which began writing in June 1969 and completed in Part 5 in 1994, is a work that deals deeply with the relationship between different fate and history of human beings of various social cercle throughout the course of Korean modern history. It was translated into English, Japanese, French and was well received. In 1957, starting with the Rookie of the Year Modern Literary Award, she received a number of awards. In 1999, she was selected as the "Artist of the 20th Century-Literature" hosted by the Korean Art Critic Council. Hope you like this Korean short story:)
