[KS] Subject: [New Publication] Annotated Translation of Oksunmong (The Dream of Jade Immortals) from AKS Press

[김원기]

 Dear All,
 I am pleased to share with you the latest release from the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS) Press: Annotated Translation of Oksunmong (The Dream of Jade Immortals). This volume marks the 45th addition to the AKS Translation and Annotation Series, which aims to provide scholarly Korean translations and commentaries on Hanmun (Literary Chinese) classics.
 Oksunmong is a work of significant academic value that challenges the conventional view of "dream-journey" novels (mongja-ryu) as mere popular entertainment. It offers a sophisticated window into the intellectual landscape and the profound inner world of 19th-century Joseon scholars.
 
 Key Highlights for Researchers:
 
  Intellectual Depth: The novel features high-level debates on ethics, philosophy, and contemporary social issues, reflecting the scholarly concerns of the era.
  Linguistic Diversity: The text showcases a remarkable range of styles, from classical Hanmun to Idu (clerical script), vernacular prose, and various formal administrative formats, illustrating the evolution of 19th-century fiction into an intellectual medium.
  Textual Accuracy: This complete translation is based on the National Library of Korea manuscript, meticulously cross-referenced with the Seogang University edition, and supplemented with extensive annotations.
 
 We hope this publication serves as a valuable resource for your research and deepens our collective understanding of Joseon’s intellectual history.
