About this book

Hamel's Journal And A Description Of The Kingdom Of Korea 1653-1666 by Hendrick Hamel. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9788972250869.

The first Western account of Korea is the glory of a group of sailors shipwrecked on Cheju-do. Some thirteen years later, after escaping to Japan, Hamel gave the outside world a firsthand description of Korea, an almost unknown country until then. Dr. Jean-Paul, who is Dutch, has made the first translation based on the original manuscript.
