ABSTRACT

In this paper, I analyzed Jo Wanbyuk's life-story of the kidnapping of Japan in 1597, and discussed in detail how the narrative and literary space of Jo Wihan's novel Choi Cheok-jeon is related to Lee Sugwang’s Jo Wanbyuk-jeon. Lee Sugwang portrays Jo Wihan in the form of a commercial sailor, and describes mainly the unique things he experienced during his sailing. Lee Sugwang recorded the names of Satsuma, Kwangdung and Heung-yen Viet Nam among the sailing voyages. He said that the western sea was high and the east was low, so the waters flowed from west to east. It also recorded the perception that sailors had about tornadoes. Jo Wihan read Jo Wanbyuk-jeon and got material in terms of the hero named 'kidnapped person', a literary space called the 'Nagasaki-sea-trading ship-port of Viet Nam', and themes of 'the return of kidnapped ones'. And he created his novel Choi Cheok-jeon with his imagination.
