Summary: "Corea: The Hermit Nation" by William Elliot Griffis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the ancient and medieval history of Corea (now known as Korea) and explores its political and social structures, as well as its interactions with neighboring nations such as China and Japan. With a focus on the evolution of the Korean state and society, Griffis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Korea's past, the origins of its people, and the period of isolation it has experienced, often referred to as the "hermit nation." The opening of the book serves as an introduction to the geographical and historical context of Korea. Griffis highlights Korea's political status as an isolated nation, once referred to as the "Land of Morning Calm," while detailing its interactions with historical figures and powers, such as Arabic geographers and Chinese dynasties. He emphasizes the contradictions in Korea's perceived seclusion, noting significant cultural exchanges and migrations over the centuries. Additionally, the text introduces the notion of Korea's complex history, marked by a struggle for sovereignty and the influence of neighboring nations, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the country's historical narrative.
