[KS] Mein Kampf in Korean

[Jim Hoare]

But the real question is surely whether there is a North Korean translation available. Is it likely that the North Koreans would buy up multiple copies of a South Korean translation and distribute these to cadres favoured by Kim Jong Eun? Somebody might have noticed. I confess that I asked if they had Hegel in the Grand People's Study House but never thought to ask about Mein Kampf. (No, they did not seem to have Hegel.)

Dear Michael,

When you do a simple search on the Kyobo Mun'go website by using the following title "나의 투쟁", then you will be able to browse most of the translations of Mein Kampf in Korean. However, many of them are out of stock.  In OCLC WorldCat, it seems that  a couple of translations are available in North America: Hitler, A. (1989). Na ŭi t'ujaeng. Sŏul-si: Pŏmusa. & Hitler, A. (1988). Na ŭi t'ujaeng. Sŏul: Hongsin Munhwasa.

Hope this helps,
Hana

Good evening,
as far as naver, RISS and library websites offer, the first Korean translation of Mein Kampf was made bei Yi Jun-hwan in 1961. I guess before 1945 it may have been circulated in the Japanese translations that date back to the Thirties.
Unfortunately, the history of reception of this "book" in East Asia remains thoroughly unclear.

If someone knows research papers about the topic whatever the language I'd be happy to know about them. Thanks in advance.

Best,
