This journey into the heart of South Korea takes the reader from the birth of democracy and the hosting of the Olympic Games in 1988 to the brash, sophisticated, highly creative Korea of today. On the way the writer pauses at Korean temples, mountain hermitages, the border with the North, romantic islands and ancient dynastic capitals to evoke a portrait of a country in constant, dynamic flux and yet reliant on its centuries-old culture and traditions.
