Your Paradise

One of the most revered novels of the 20th century literature in Korea, Your Paradise tells the story of a leper-colony, where the lepers are outwardly treated with the greatest of kindnesses. Indeed, a new director is attempting to reintegrate the leper community and their families with the world outside of the leper island. But suddenly he meets great resistance3not from the world outside, but from the lepers themselves, who prefer the protection and organization of the island. The lepers want nothing to do with modern-day Korea with its numerous problems. The often hilarious and near tragic events are the substance of this important novel.
