Laurent Vogel (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Polona digital library) "Pauvre et douce Corée" by Georges Ducrocq is a descriptive account of life in Korea during the early 20th century. This book, written in the early 1900s, explores the intricacies of Korean culture, society, and daily life through vivid observations and rich detail. It offers a glimpse into a nation that, while marked by poverty, displays a heartfelt charm and a profound connection to its traditions. The narrative primarily illustrates the contrasts of Seoul, from its humble dwellings with thatched roofs to the lively streets filled with traders and everyday citizens. The prose encapsulates the essence of Korean life—highlighting the beauty found in simplicity, the warmth of familial ties, and the intricate customs that define the society. Ducrocq delves into social practices, clothing, and festivals, painting a picture of a people deeply rooted in their cultural heritage despite external pressures. His reflections on the happiness found in their modest means and their natural surroundings evoke both nostalgia and admiration for the resilience of the Korean spirit.
