Description
이 책은 1989년 첫 출간 후 꾸준한 사랑을 받아 2018년 개정판까지 출간된 베스트셀러 도서 『어느 할아버지의 평범한 이야기』의 영어판이다. 책이 나온 지 35년이 넘는 기간 동안 국내외 시대 형편이 많이 바뀌었지만 이 책에서 다루고 있는 근본 정신은 현 세대에게도 큰 울림으로 다가온다.
할아버지가 자신이 오랜 세월 힘들게 얻은 삶의 교훈을 손주들과 대화하듯 풀어내는 이야기 속에는 자아 발견과 내적 성장, 학문과 배움의 기쁨, 사회와 국가에 대한 헌신, 형제애와 부부 간의 사랑 등 삶의 본질을 꿰뚫는 지혜가 가득 담겨 있다.
저자의 손주뿐만 아니라 동 시대 젊은이들을 위해 할아버지가 빚어낸 인생의 등대 같은 이 책이 빠르게 변화하는 세상에서 자기 길을 찾고 바르게 걷기 위해 애쓰는 독자들에게 따뜻한 위로와 격려, 용기를 심어줄 수 있을 것이다.
