Samguk Yusa

A fascinating work,

dating from the late 1200s. This book (Yusa), is not just a story but

a collection of histories, anecdotes and memorabilia, covering the

origins of Korea's three monarchies--Silla, Paekche and Koguryo,

offering an account of the latter nation that differs quite a bit from

what you'll read in Chinese history books. Translated by Professor Ha

Tae-Hung of Yonsei University, with special help from Grafton Mintz.
