Description
Trees on a Slope is a powerful and unflinching novel by Hwang Sun-won, one of modern Korea's most acclaimed writers. Set against the backdrop of the Korean War, this 1960 novel tells the story of three young soldiers - Hyŏnt'ae, Yun-gu, and Tong-ho - as they navigate the physical and psychological horrors of war. The novel explores how the war affects each character in different ways, leading to tragic consequences. Through their experiences, Hwang Sun-won sheds light on the human cost of conflict and the struggles of survival in a world torn apart by violence. This important work of modern Asian literature offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of the 20th century. Trees on a Slope is a thought-provoking and deeply moving novel that introduces English-speaking readers to an essential voice in Korean literature.
