reviewed Everlasting Flower: A History of Korea on November 23, 2012
Everlasting Flower
I have also been looking for a good general history of Korea for some years. Everlasting Flower was, basically… okay.
It was a little dry, and while I commend Pratt's decision to devote space to cultural pursuits rather than restrict his history to battles and kings, the repeated diversions into painting, music, etc., were of limited help in the format of a black and white book. Perhaps this content would work better in a documentary, with sound and color. In any event, whether a fault of myself, the author or simply the material itself, confess that I finished this book with much the same sense of Korea as when I started: it's between China and Japan, basically, geographically and otherwise. Oh well.
