Overview

This book tells us about the daily life of an adolescent in Korea, Italy, France, India, United Kingdom, and Australia. It all looks different but ultimately unites around the pivot called "life."

Book Intro

Del Mundo, the winner of the 12th Sakyejul Literary Award, is a collection of nine short stories. Sakyejul is a publisher that has stuck to its unshaken convictions and position in the field of juvenile literature. Considering that the former winners of the Award were novels, the fact that its 12th winner is a collection of short stories of an author is unusual.

The publisher Sakyejul opened the door not only to novels but short stories for the first time as they call for literary works to be submitted to the contest of the 12th Sakyejul Literary Award. It is in a bid to adapt to the current landscape where readers find the lengthy book demanding and their reading pace gets faster. The jury was curious and unsure about what kind of works the changed condition of the contest would invite, but their screening process was quite easy. Among 78 candidates that depict various aspects of the adolescent, Del Mundo grabbed the attention of the jury at once.

Del Mundo includes these stories: A Man in Bandages, which lets us reflect the string of destiny that connects life and death through the shocking confession of a man wrapped in bandages all over his body; No Problem, which depicts the hazy love of a sixteen-year-old Indian boy who pulls a rickshaw; Forbidden Word Game, in which the main character recalls the past he spent with his family as he travels an island with his dad; Paper Cut, which illustrates a special experience the main character has at London Heathrow Airport; Missing, which delivers an exotic atmosphere and powerful images; Train Whistle, which describes the crack between memory and loss through the day the main character spent with a friend at a shabby house beside the railway; Film, which retraces the journey of someone you never met through 144 photos; A Boy of the Lost Continent, which wraps up with a chilling ending; and Sit Vis Tecum, which depicts the poignant passion and desperate dream of a boy who lives at a monastery in Gordes, France. Each story is filled with love, longing, happiness, sympathy, loss, and memory that we go through in life.
