Acerca deste libro electrónico
Shin Chae-ho’s nationalist novella Dream Sky, written in 1916, reads like a cross between The Apocalypse of St. John and Pilgrim’s Progress. The first several lines depict the protagonist Hannom seeing a divine figure revealed in the heavens who announces the necessity of struggling for national survival. Battles in the sky follow and reflect battles on earth. Hannom, however, is called on not merely to observe and record, but also to join in a celestial battle against Japanese invaders. Yet, he encounters various tests and temptations along the way that distract him from his goal of reaching the battle, and that teach him of his own weaknesses and shortcomings.

Acerca do autor
Shin Chae-ho (1880 – 1936) was an independence activist, historian, and journalist during the Japanese colonial rule over Korea. In a broader sense, he can be considered a man of letters and an advocate of national enlightenment. His pen name was Dan-jae, he was born into a noble yangban family in Daedeok, South Chungcheong Province, and he studied Chinese classics but gave up plans to pursue a government position when the signing of the Treaty of 1905 with Japan took away Korea’s national sovereignty. He then started writing opinion columns in the Hwang Seong Daily. Afterwards, he worked as chief editor of The Korea Daily News, always trying to instill national consciousness. He also engaged himself in the patriotic enlightenment movement through Sinminhoe, an independence movement organization. In 1910, he went into exile in China, and in 1922, he was invited to Shanghai by the head of Uiyeoldan, a group of patriotic Koreans with heroic spirit. Early the next year, he composed and presented the group’s manifesto, titled the Declaration of the Joseon Revolution. He insisted in this document on the necessity of a direct revolutionary fight by the people through violent action.
