About This Book

Description by the publishers

The “Darakwon Korean Readers” series is comprised of books that recompose classic Korean literary works to match the reading levels of students from beginner to advanced levels (A1~C2) so students can easily increase their Korean reading comprehension skills in a fun way. The third literary work in this series, “The Story of Heungbu,” adapts a classic Korean novel about Nolbu, a greedy brother who wants to keep the assets left by his parents all to himself, and his poor but kind younger brother Heungbu. As students enjoy reading this story, they can naturally become familiar with vocabulary words and expressions that are essential for the intermediate level. In addition, through explanations about the historical background, students can understand the culture of that time period. Not only can students read the content, they can also listen to it by scanning QR codes to hear recordings of professional voice actors reading the story. Students can also use the English translations of the story and questions in the appendix at the end of the book to check their reading comprehension skills.
