Description
This sweeping, multi-generational epic chronicles a century of Korean history through the lens of one working-class family. From the Japanese colonial era to the present day, the narrative follows generations of rail workers and their descendants as they navigate profound social and political upheaval. At its heart, the story centers on a contemporary factory worker staging a high-altitude protest, who finds himself visited by the ghosts of his past, their life experiences interwoven with the nation's tumultuous journey. Through vivid storytelling, the novel illuminates the resilience and struggles of ordinary Koreans against the backdrop of immense historical change.
