ABSTRACT

In this study, E.H.Miller and Kim Dong-geuk, who translated Henry van Dyke's (1852-1933) work The Story of The Other Wise Man Along with Han Seokwon's Artaban's Journey(『Cheongyeon』, 1922.12), which was adapted and adapted into a play, Bang Ingeun's The Other Wise Man(『Gidogsinbo』, 1929.11.27.-12.4.) and Kang Seunghan's I looked at Immortal Smile(『Gidogsinbo』, 1934.11.21.-12.19.). Han Seokwon, Bang Ingeun and Kang Seunghan are not all mainstream playwrights in the full sense. However, these were writers who, since the 1920s, were connected to the will to struggle for national liberation that was heightened in the process of translation and adaptation of Western works and naturalistic forms of expression. Han Seokwon's Artaban's Journey pays attention to how the fantasy of the 'Fourth Magi', which is nothing more than fiction, will be accepted as a Christian, and Bang Ingeun's The Other Wise Man tries to make the selection process of the main character Altavan more realistic and persuasive. It is being composed. Kang Seunghan adapted the work at the age of only 16, and is using it as a venue for passionate eloquence based on his confident interpretation of the original work toward the church and contemporary society. This can be said to be persuading success beyond immediate visible failure even while the goals of independence and liberation are being delayed.
