Yi Chung-Hwan's T'aengniji

"This is the first translation of the T'aengniji into a Western language. The T'aengniji is today regarded as the most important Korean classic for choosing desirable sites for settlement as well as being a substantial work on the human geography of the late Choson dynasty. Throughout the work there is much incisive commentary on the politics, economic history, philosophy and thought of the times."--BOOK JACKET.
