Book Information & Summary
Written by Lee, Ga-eul / Illustrated by Kwak, Young-kwun
'What I am is not that important.
What matters is the way I live!!'
Long time ago, there lived a young lion hunting in Northern India. He was just about to kill a little deer when he accidentally came to face its sorrowful eyes. At that moment, he had to stand up to the fact that he should kill someone else to survive. After a few days of giving up eating and drinking, he could luckily survive with the help of a monk from a country named Shilla. The lion decided to follow the monk on the way to Shilla and was gradually transformed into a faithful dog. That dog is Sab-sa-ri.
This book deals with a confusion coming from the lion? inner conflict between the reason and his natural instinct to kill other animals. It also depicts his self-esteem as the king of all animals degraded after he changed into a dog, and his determination not to kill others anymore. Vivid illustrations inspired by the illustrator's actual visit to the Silk Road will help you to understand the story more deeply.
