Description:
"King Gonji" is an epic novel that resurrects a figure buried in history--Gonji, the younger brother of King Gaero of Baekje and the presumed father of Kings Dongseong and Muryeong. Although he never ascended the throne himself, Gonji played a role so pivotal that he was accorded the title of "King," working to stabilize the Baekje royal court amidst the turbulent era of conflict between the Three Kingdoms. The author artistically reconstructs his life--barely documented in official historical records--while delicately portraying the complex dynamics of politics, lineage, and diplomacy. Gonji's gentle character and unwavering loyalty offer profound resonance for modern-day leadership. His journey--growing up in a quiet village in Yeongam, returning to the epicenter of political strife, and navigating a chaotic political landscape--stirs the historical imagination. Through the story of this forgotten figure, the book sheds light on a hidden facet of Baekje history, vividly bringing to life a narrative that was previously unknown.
