Book Description
An anthology of ten short stories by one of Korea's foremost living writers. Pak Wanso is the author of five novels, including The Naked Tree, and of several best-selling volumes of short prose. Her works have sold millions of copies in Korea, where the public and critics alike have applauded Pak as a masterful realist. The literary world of Pak depicts the trials of the Korean War and the subsequent three decades of upheaval during which Korea was transformed from a military dictatorship and an agriculturally based society to an urban industrialized, albeit troubled, democracy. Pak offers a searching woman's perspective on radical changes in Korean family structures and social values, exposing the cruelty and hypocrisy of Korea's Confucian traditions, which have subjugated women for centuries. Her realistic prose also portrays the dehumanizing impacts of the capitalist market order that characterizes Korea today. With rich insight, Pak presents moral ambiguities inherent in Korea's society today and encourages her readers to question the injustices that prevail in the more impersonal and often alienated world emerging in a "globalized" Korea.

Book Description
The Adopted Son" written by James Willard is a novel about the extraordinary life and legacy of Moses. The story describes the land of Egypt where Moses lived for the most part of his life. Excerpt: "The Children of Israel...They lived in towns and villages in the land of Goshen, on the eastern border of Egypt, industrious and contented. The king who had been so friendly to Joseph was now dead, and another Pharaoh ruled the land. He watched with much distrust the growing wealth and greatness of the children of Israel and was determined to prevent any possible harm they might do to him by making them work for him instead of for themselves. So Pharaoh began to treat the Israelites like slaves...Pharaoh commanded that all boys should be flung into the Nile, the sacred river of Egypt, immediately after their birth.... a child was born among the Israelites whose life was to be one of the most remarkable that history has recorded for us." Read this book to find out how Moses delivered the Israelites from their bondage.
