The “Darakwon Korean Readers” series consists of Korean reading textbooks that reconstruct representative Korean literary works to match the level of Korean-language learners from beginner to advanced (A1–C2). With the sixth work in this series, “The Story of Hong Gildong,” an adaptation of Heo Gyun’s novel using modern language, you can naturally learn advanced written vocabulary and expressions while reading the tale of Hong Gildong, who went up against the limitations of the classist society of the Joseon era and tried to create justice. Additionally, you can understand the culture of the era through explanations related to the background of the time period. And you can confirm the content of the book not just with your eyes but with your ears as well, with sound files read by professional voice actors and provided by QR code, and check and improve your reading skills yourself through an appendix including comprehension questions and an English translation of the text.
