DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Syngman Rhee (Yi Sûng-man, 1875-1965) is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in modern Korean history. He emerged as the dominant leader in Korea's nationalist struggle against Japan and served as the first president of the Republic of Korea from 1948 through 1960. Rhee's political career as founder and president, however, was not without controversy. While some hailed him as "the George Washington of Korea," others regarded Rhee as "a little Chiang Kai-shek." This first English translation of Rhee's magnum opus, The Spirit of Independence (Tongnip chôngsin), provides readers with an essential key to understanding the breadth and depth of Rhee's thought at a critical juncture in his life and his country's history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is not a novel, but rather the confession of a free spirit telling of its mistakes, its sufferings and its struggles from the midst of the tempest; and it is in no sense an autobiography either. Some day I may wish to write of myself, and I will then speak without any disguise or feigned name. Though it is true that I have lent some ideas to my hero, his individuality, his character and the circumstances of his life are all his own; and I have tried to give a picture of the inward labyrinth where a weak spirit wanders, feeling its way, uncertain, sensitive and impressionable, but sincere and ardent in the cause of truth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Independent Spirit and its Enemies sets out to identify the traps and loopholes inside and outside that make rational thinking an obstacle race even for the most gifted. Some of these problems may have occurred to you, others may be quite a surprise and could even be found upsetting by some. For illustration the book refers every so often to The Closing of the American Mind, by Allan Bloom, and the novel by Saul Bellow about its author, Ravelstein. It is not necessary to have read these to understand the examples. The result is a new look at the misconceptions that underlie even our most basic assumptions about the most important aspects of our lives and loves.
