AB - The literature of Choi Tae-eung's began appearing in the late 1930's with his most active times being immediately after Korea’s liberation from Japan. However, his novels were largely forgotten due to the decline of pure literature and the appearance of writers who had experienced the war. Choi Tae-eung focused on the damaged life of people who had defected to South Korea. These people experienced dark years brought on by liberation, division and war. In his novels, characters are mostly people who had lost their means of living during this transition from Japanese colonization through war, liberation and Korean industrialization with reality described as self-portraits of their own experiences. These defectors are described as second-class citizens who suffer from separation and whose character is scarred by industrialization. They are the lead characters of tales of damaged lives, showing all of the tragedy, fallings and misfortunes that occurred during these dark years. Although Choi's novels focused on personal subjects and social descriptions, underneath all that there is 'compassionate humanism' as shown in his novel, “Babo Yongchil”.
