Omschrijving

The Call of Korea: Political, Social, Religious (1908) is a book written by Horace Grant Underwood, an American missionary who spent several years in Korea during the early 20th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the political, social, and religious landscape in Korea during this time period, shedding light on the country's unique history and culture.Underwood delves into the political situation in Korea, discussing the country's relationship with neighboring nations such as China and Japan, as well as the internal struggles and conflicts that plagued the Korean government. He also examines the social conditions in Korea, including the caste system, education, and the treatment of women.Religion plays a significant role in the book, with Underwood exploring the various belief systems present in Korea, including Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity. He discusses the impact of these religions on Korean society and the challenges faced by Christian missionaries attempting to spread their faith in the country.Overall, The Call of Korea provides a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Korean history, as the country struggled to maintain its independence and identity in the face of external pressures and internal turmoil. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Korean culture, history, and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
