About this book
There are two brothers, who went through Japanese occupation, Korean War, and the Division. Their lives were dramatically changed and even distorted by the influence of Christianity and Communism. Son-nim means a visitor, that is, someone/something coming from abroad. The author implies that Christianity and Communism were visitors, nevertheless, they ruled Korean people. This story is like a requiem for the old generation.
