This essay is about my favorite book. I like reading books. I like Korean books and also I like foreign books. About ten books are my favorite books. I read them at least more than 3 times. But I want to introduce about just one book named '엄마를 부탁해'(Please look after mom). It's a novel written by Kyung-Sook Shin. For who didn't read this book yet, I will summarize.
One day, mother of four grown up children disappear when she was going to her son's home. So her family -husband, sons, and daughters- trying to find her. They find their mom desperately. But she didn't come out easily. And the story goes on.
I saw this book when I was in 15 years old. But then, I didn't interested this book. I thought the book is boring. But a year later, I opened the book again because my sister bought same book translated into English version. Of course I didn't read the English version. I read the original. When I read the first page, I totally fell into the book. It was a very moving book. I almost burst into tears.
After I read the book, I felt sorry and thanks for devotion of every mothers in world, include my mother. They love their children with their whole heart, and they care for us when we were in their womb. The book is saying earnestly about mother's love and our unconcern. I agree with that. Because there is no human's love that can over motherly love.
Through this book, I was interested in author, Kyung-Sook Shin. So I found her books in library. I read one of them named '깊은 슬픔'(Deep sorrow)'. Then, she became one of my favorite author. I like her style and story line. She is a great writer in Korea. I'm proud of that.
I recommend you to read her book. You won't be disappointed.
wow your essay is great.I really wanted to read that book but I didn't have time. I will read it. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI read the book you recommended! The book of 박노해. It was really good. And I read 엄마를 부탁해, too. After I read the book I made up my mind to be nice to both of my parents and grand parents. I felt sorry for them. How many books do you read in a week? What genre do you like the most?
ReplyDeleteWhat part in the story made you cry?
ReplyDeleteBrian! I think the book '엄마를 부탁해' must be really touching, and I chould read it! I agree that there is no human's love that can over motherly love. I think 'trying' in the 7th sentence is 'try'. Thanks for sharing such a good book! :-)
