Beschreibung:
Yi Munyol, one of Korea's most acclaimed writers, is the author of sixteen novels (many of which have sold into the millions), fifty-two novellas, and two collections of political and social commentary. His work has been translated into eight languages, and he has received numerous literary awards. He lives in South Korea. Translator Kevin O'Rourke, an Irish priest (Columban Fathers), is a Professor of English at Kyunghee University in Seoul.
After 12-year-old Han Pyongt'ae moves from Seoul to a small provincial town and enrolls in the local school, he's confident that his sophistication will establish him as a natural leader among his peers. He is shocked to find his new classmates and teacher under the spell of the charismatic class monitor, who uses fear and violence to keep the class in line.
