Korea has undergone many vicissitudes. Everybody knows that. It was almost reduced to rubble and ashes. It was not far-fetched to say it had no future indeed. But it bounced back and has never looked back ever since. Today, Korea is one of the most industrialized nations, and its capital city Seoul is one of the biggest and busiest metropolitan cities in the world. But it is wrong to think that Korea has lost everything traditional, its heritage, and traditions in the period of colonization, war, and industrialization, because there are still many of them. Korea is a beautiful country. Nature is beautiful, and so are the people who work hard and make their lives here. The traces of the ancestors who made this land their home so long ago have not disappeared; the connection remains strong as their descendants continue to live on the same land today, speaking a common language, and finding pride and dignity in the continuity of their history and culture. The Beauty of Korea contains the beauty found nowhere else but in Korea in the wonderful works of photographer Suh Jae-sik.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReview of The Beauty of Seoul: Award-winning Korean photographer Suh provides both photos and text for this beautiful book introducing the people, architecture, and sights of South Korea's capital city. Suh is a widely published photographer whose previous books with Hollym Corp., The Beauty of Korea and Hanoak: Traditional Korean Homes, follow a similar format. He has worked for several Korean magazines and covered the 1988 Olympics. In this work, he shows us the sights of Seoul in all seasons and the residents engaged in their various activities. The text describes the city's history and future... This is a beautiful pictorial of a place little known to many American travelers...
