Включенные в сборник рассказы Пак Вансо (р. 1931), одной из ведущих писательниц Южной Кореи, написаны в период бурного экономического роста страны. Читатель сможет почувствовать атмосферу обновлявшегося корейского общества, когда резко менялся "климат" во всех сферах жизни, в том числе и в корейской семье, веками сохранявшей традиционные ценности. Появлялись новые возможности для предприимчивых людей, стремившихся к благополучной жизни. Закладывалась основа высокоразвитого государства, каким является Республика Корея наших дней. Корейский мир семидесятых с его лозунгом "Давайте попробуем жить хорошо!" в каких-то существенных чертах напоминает нынешнюю российскую действительность.

Some stories are so... realistic, you feel like you want to close your eyes a little, not to see it so clear and bright. But that was life in Korea at that time, and you feel it so real. When I was reading the book, every time I took my eyes of it it took me a couple of seconds to realise where I was and that I wasn't part of one of the short stories on the pages in my hands.
