The Passing of Korea is a non-fiction book written by Homer B. Hulbert, an American missionary who lived in Korea during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a comprehensive and insightful account of the country's history, culture, and society during a time of great change and upheaval.Hulbert's narrative begins with a detailed overview of Korea's geography, climate, and natural resources, before delving into the country's political and social history. He covers the rise and fall of the Joseon Dynasty, the influence of Confucianism on Korean society, and the impact of foreign powers, particularly Japan, on the country's development.The author also provides a vivid description of Korean life during his time in the country, including the customs, traditions, and daily routines of the people. He writes about the role of women, the importance of family and community, and the challenges faced by Koreans as they navigated a rapidly changing world.Throughout the book, Hulbert emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting Korean culture and traditions, while also acknowledging the need for modernization and progress. He offers a nuanced and thoughtful perspective on the challenges facing Korea at the turn of the 20th century, and his insights remain relevant today as the country continues to evolve and grow.Overall, The Passing of Korea is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Korean history, society, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
