“Do you have a word that has become the pillar of your life?” A new prose book by million-seller author Lee Ki-ju.
Everyone needs a place to lean their heart. No matter how strong a person’s inner self is, when they face hardships that are hard to handle alone, they tend to lean their hearts on a close other or something familiar. Indeed, when life shakes, what supports our hearts are not strange and flashy things, but familiar and ordinary things around us. Life Pattern Korea. For example, the universal words we often read, write, speak, and think about in our daily lives may become a sturdy pillar that supports life.
Lee Ki-ju, who has secured a wide range of readers with the million-seller <The Temperature of Language> and the steady-seller <The Dignity of Speech>, which were made by word of mouth, comes to our side with a new prose book <Words of the Universal>. Lee Ki-ju, who has been pulling up the essence of life hidden in everyday life with a delicate gaze, this time digs into the ordinary words we use carelessly and throws fundamental questions about love and hate, happiness and unhappiness, hope and regret, life and death. If you take a walk in the book using the heavy questions planted in the lines by the author as a milestone, you will be able to look back on what words are supporting each person’s life and what kind of life landscape is contained in them.
