Im Bang

"To any one who would like to look somewhat into the inner soul of the Oriental, and see the peculiar spiritual existences among which he lives, the following stories will serve as true interpreters, born as they are of the three great religions of the Far East, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism." Manuscripts by two of Korea's (possibly) most famous authors, dating from the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries were uncovered in the early years of the twentieth century. Translation revealed stories that are not for the faint-hearted: gruesome, harsh, unlovely, depicting scenes of the day, as well as the hope for better things. - Summary by Lynne Thompson (5 hr 23 min)

New to western ears but full of wisdom.

Most of the tales had a distinct & unique moral to each. Some stretched out & went on for no apparent reason but that was only with 1 or 2. The narrator spoke well so bravo to the reader. 👍
Didn’t want it to end

I rarely post reviews but this book was so good that I need to. When it ended, I actually whined! Weird considering I’m older then dirt.
Very well read. The stories were okay.
