Summary:

"Walk the past and present of Seoul ... Like a photographer who waits to catch perfect light, Janghee Lee takes long looks at interesting places in Seoul and captures the details with honesty and passion. The drawings and anecdotes in 'Seoul's Historic Walks in Sketches' help readers understand and enjoy these details like no other ..." "Daring to at once see Seoul as it is, appreciate its strengths, criticize its shortcomings, and even imagine its future, Janghee Lee renders this perpetually changing, seemingly incomprehensible metropolis legible through realistically detailed, imaginative sketches of the city's guild environment and his accompanying writings, breezy yet deeply informed by a knowledge of the city's eventful and often troubled history."--Back cover.
