Korean Literature "Seorae" Book Club 📚 |
|
|
The Seorae Book Club is an off-line self-moderated English speaking book club covering segments of contemporary Korean literature. How to join? Simply read the book of the month, and come to share and discuss about Korean society, its culture, its people and its history. Everyone is invited to be the moderator for one evening. |
|
|
The next book is "The girl with seven names" by Hyeonseo Lee.
As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee was one of millions trapped by a secretive and brutal totalitarian regime. Her home on the border with China gave her some exposure to the world beyond the confines of the Hermit Kingdom and, as the famine of the 1990s struck, she began to wonder, question and to realise that she had been brainwashed her entire life. When she decided to escape North Korea, she was 17 and she could not have imagined that it would be 12 years before she was reunited with her family. |

| The Seorae Global Village Center is part of a network of information and welcome centers for foreigners located in neighborhoods across Seoul where many foreign residents tend to reside. The opening of these centers was an initiative of the city of Seoul in 2008 with the mission to provide practical information about living in Korea so that foreign residents find the day-to-day management easy. Our primary role is to answer questions that pertain to daily life and to help manage situations where the language barrier becomes an issue. You will find at the center Korean language programs as well as other cultural and artistic lessons to learn and appreciate the multiple facts of the Korean culture. We hope that this will help you create new encounters and discoveries. Please visit our website for more information about what's happening this month. |
