금수회의록 (Geum-su-Hue-I-Lok) Assembly of Animals

by Guk-seon Ahn

Assembly of Animals is a groundbreaking work of Korean literature, notable as the first modern novel in the language. Published in 1908, the book employs a unique allegorical approach, featuring a gathering of animals who engage in a series of debates and discussions, offering incisive critiques of human society and behavior. Through these animalistic representations, the author, Guk-seon Ahn, explores themes of social injustice, political oppression, and the hypocrisy and vanity of human nature. Despite its literary significance, Assembly of Animals faced censorship and suppression under Japanese colonial rule, highlighting its politically charged nature and its challenge to the prevailing power structures of the time.
