The Living Reed (Curt McCauley) --__--__-- Message: 1 From: "Curt McCauley" To: Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 20:15:40 -0700 Subject: [The_Dojang] The Living Reed Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net There is a great book written by Pearl S Buck around 1963. The title is "the Living Reed" It takes place from about 1880 to just before the end of the 2nd world war. It gives a good over view of daily life, the Korean society before "colonization" by the Japanese. It is fiction, but Ms. Buck, I believe was born in China and spent a great deal of her life in and around Asia. The book is an incredible read. During the "Occupation" by Japan, a lot of the Korean men fled to places like China, Manchuria, and even Canada. But they would sneak back into Korea and try to make a strike against the Japanese and then leave as quickley as possible. (Any one of the 5 Kwan instructors could have been involved in this type of life.) The Living Reed is about one of these people, his family, and people during a 50 year period. I cannot find an ISBN#, but it was published by the John Day Company of New York.
