ABSTRACT

This study has a purpose, which is to analyze aspects on the different versions of “The white hands for happiness” by Lee Tae-jun. “The white hands for happiness” had been published serially in the magazine Jogwang from 1942-1943. Following its initial publication, this work was retitled as “The three friends” and published in 1943 by the publisher of Namchang. This edition was the first separate volume of “The white hands for happiness”. Until now, many researchers have pointed out on the first separate volume of “The white hands for happiness” as “The Saminwoodal(三人友達)”. But there is no work with that title. There is no name of writer Lee Tae-jun in the edition of Namchang, so this may possibly be a pirate edition. In 1946, “The three friends” was republished at the publisher of Bummun with two volumes. This version inherited the edition of Namchang, but these two editions were comprised of different details. In 1949, “The white hands for happiness” was republished again by two different publishers. One is titled “The diary of new marriage” and was published by a publisher of Gwangmun. This edition appeared identical to the edition of Bummun, but it was published as a separate volume. As the edition of Bummun was originated from Namchang, the editions from Gwangmun and Namchang appear the same. Actually, the editions of Namchang and Gwangmun have identical forms. The other is titled by “The diary of new marriage” and published by the publisher of Pyeugbum. This edition is different from the Gwangmun in detail, but the title is the same. Possibly the edition of Pyeugbum is a pirate edition of the Gwangmun version. Last, there are some errors in the two complete works of Lee Tae-jun. Also two photographic editions mistook the edition of Jogwang for the Gwangmun and misconceived two editions as the same. They did not know the differences and similarities between these editions. They must be corrected and supplemented certainly for further research on Lee Tae-jun and his literature to be more accurate in its accounts.
