Paperback. Condition: New. Available for the first time in English, Azaleas is a captivating collection of poems by a master of the early Korean modernist style. Published in 1925, Azaleas is the only collection Kim Sowol (1902-1934) produced during his brief life, yet he remains one of Korea's most beloved and well-known poets. His work is a delightful and sophisticated blend of the images, tonalities, and rhythms of traditional Korean folk songs with surprisingly modern forms and themes. Sowol is also known for his unique and sometimes unsettling perspective, expressed through loneliness, longing, and a creative use of dream imagery-a reflection of Sowol's engagement with French Symbolist poetry. Azaleas recounts the journey of a young Korean as he travels from the northern P'yongyang area near to the cosmopolitan capital of Seoul. Told through an array of voices, the poems describe the young man's actions as he leaves home, his experiences as a student and writer in Seoul, and his return north. Although considered a landmark of Korean literature, Azaleas speaks to readers from all cultures.An essay by Sowol's mentor, the poet Kim Ok, concludes the collection and provides vital insight into Sowol's work and life. This elegant translation by David R. McCann, an expert on modern Korean poetry, maintains the immediacy and richness of Sowol's work and shares with English-language readers the quiet beauty of a poet who continues to cast a powerful spell on generations of Korean readers.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Traduzione di Jung I. Roma, 2022; br., pp. 320, cm 13x21. Fiori d'Azalea è l'unica raccolta di poesie prodotta da Kim Sowol durante la sua breve vita. I versi che la compongono - qui presentati per la prima volta in italiano con testo a fronte in lingua originale - tratteggiano la storia del poeta e narrano al contempo il sentimento comune di un intero popolo, quello coreano, in un periodo storico molto difficile. In una sequenza narrativa ben precisa, Sowol trasforma la propria esperienza in un linguaggio essenziale e ricco di immagini, con cui comunica il suo profondo senso di vuoto, di solitudine e di malinconia, stimolando nel lettore sentimenti e riflessioni che travalicano le frontiere culturali e del tempo.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. An unusually attractive illustrated presentation of the poetry of Kim Sowol (1902-1934), one of the foundational figures of modern Korean lyric poetry. The title takes its name from his celebrated poem San Yuhwa, first published in 1924. Sowol's poetry is particularly associated with traditional Korean lyric rhythms and the emotional vocabulary of longing, separation, nature, love, and han: his sole lifetime collection, Azaleas (Jindallaekkot), appeared in 1925. San Yuhwa belongs to the group of poems for which Sowol remains especially celebrated, treating the recurring flowering and falling of mountain flowers as a meditation on existence, solitude, and the natural cycle of life. This Hyewon edition transforms the poems into something approaching a poetry-and-art gift book. The text is printed on substantial stock and interspersed with delicate monochrome drawings and numerous atmospheric full-page and double-page color illustrations in a traditional East Asian watercolor/ink manner - flowers, birds, deer, wooded landscapes, and seasonal imagery echoing Sowol's natural symbolism. Particularly attractive is the opening treatment of San Yuhwa, with flowering hydrangeas and butterfly imagery. The book retains its original pictorial Hyewon bookmark. The colophon is especially useful: it gives January 5, 1983 as the printing date and January 20, 1983 as the publication date, names Kim Sowol as author, Hyewon Publishing as publisher, and states the original retail price of 2,500 won. It also identifies artist Jo Bok-sun / Cho Bok-soon, born 1921, a graduate of the Japanese Art School in 1943 and then a professor at Hongik University's College of Fine Arts. Book: Near Fine. Slipcase: Very Good. The handsome white textured binding remains remarkably fresh, with the Hyewon crane device blind-stamped on the front board and red and black spine decoration still strong. Binding is square and firm; interior pages are clean and bright, with the color plates retaining their soft original palette. Only scattered minor age spotting is apparent, principally to preliminary/endpaper areas. Original separate publisher's pictorial bookmark is present. The matching illustrated slipcase shows considerably more evidence of age than the book, including overall light toning, scattered foxing, rubbing and wear along edges and corners, but remains complete and structurally sound. Its floral decoration, deer vignette, Korean/Chinese title lettering, and Hyewon device remain attractive. A very appealing complete example, particularly with both slipcase and publisher's bookmark surviving. Jo Bok-sun / Cho Bok-soon (illustrator).…
