In earlier times, for the Chinese, Korea was 'the country of
courteous people from the east', and for westerners 'the land of
the morning calm' or 'hermit kingdom'. In this fascinating
collection of writings on times past in Korea the author helps to
lift the veil on this once closed country, providing the reader
with a wide selection of first-hand accounts by travellers who
'discovered' Korea - some as snapshots by those passing through,
others more detailed evaluations of Korean culture and everyday
life by those who spent time there. The collection covers a period
of over 400 years - from Hendrik Hamel's journal of the 1600s to
early 20th century records, such as Roy C. Andrew's 1918 published
account of his expedition, entitled Exploring Unknown Corners of
the 'Hermit Kingdom'.
