Abstract

Abstract:This article examines the image that the famous Spanish novelist Vicente Blasco Ibañez offers of Korea, its people, and its customs based on his writings derived from his stay in the country in 1923 during the period of Japanese occupation. It discusses his descriptions of Korea’s dress, weather, and customs, as well as his praise for the Korean people. In the same way, it addresses the subtle perceptions and well-documented readings that the author makes of different periods of Korean history, including the compassion he shows towards the last prince of the Yi dynasty and his apologetic vision of Queen Min for her resistance against the Japanese colonial power. It is a new look at the novelist’s trip to Korea, highlighting unknown aspects which were silenced or poorly interpreted, and adds new sources for his study.

世界著名小说家比森特·布拉斯科的《韩国的风土人情》Ibañez (1923)

摘要：本文根据1923年日本占领时期西班牙著名小说家比森特·布拉斯科·伊巴涅斯在该国的创作，考察了他对朝鲜、朝鲜人民和朝鲜风俗的形象。它讨论了他对朝鲜服饰、天气和风俗的描述，以及他对朝鲜人民的赞扬。同样，它也阐述了作者对朝鲜历史不同时期的微妙看法和有据可查的解读，包括他对易王朝最后一位王子的同情，以及他对敏女王反抗日本殖民政权的道歉愿景。这是对这位小说家韩国之行的全新审视，突出了被沉默或解读不当的未知方面，并为他的研究增加了新的来源。
