김달수의 단편소설에 나타난 민족주의 고찰 -『사간동 57번지』와『참외와 황제』를 중심으로-

Abstract

Kim Dal-su, one of the greatest first-generation korean-japanese writers, was born in Korea in 1919, and went to Japan at age 10. Despite of poverty he could go to school for Japanese with his brother. While he read Japanese literature, he came to have an interest in literature. He wrote his works in Japanese to inform Japanese of real Korea and Korean. And his purpose of writing was to make the relationship(Korea and Japan, korean and Japanese) humanization. He believed that everyone has common human truth. In this papers I have tried to study on his love for Korea and Koreans through his works written about his experience in Seoul Korea as journalist of Kyungsungilbo. He didn't know real Korea and Korean until he returned Seoul Korea at 23. In these works he described the pressure and unfair treatment of Japan in the colonial period. Also he presented Koreans suffered from poverty and discriminate. Through the study two works, I came to know the situation of Korea and Koreans life of the Japanese colonial period and, his love for Korea and Korean. I think that the study on Kim dal-su gives us new views of relation between Korea and Japan. It is also helpful to make relation among the nations. From now I will continue to study his works and his ideology through his love for Korea and Korean. Even though he changed his theme in several type, he never changed his love on his country and people through his all life as a real nationalist. And his ideology was on the truth of human.
