Korea. The Complete History

Korea is an amazing, original country that, despite being located next to such bright and strong neighbors as China and Japan, has managed to preserve its uniqueness. The author describes the history of Korea from ancient times to the present day, showing how its geographical location, economic, cultural, and political situations have influenced the country's development, and discusses that difficult period in its fate that resulted in its division into North and South. And of course, at the center of the narrative are the famous Koreans — rulers, military leaders, scholars — who at different times and in very different ways asserted its place in the world.
