냉전과 소련의 핵실험(1949), 원폭 피해 서사의 번역 －나가이 다카시『長崎의 鐘』과 존 허시『廣島』－

Abstract

Takashi Nagai's『長崎の鐘』 and 『Hiroshima』by John Hersey were translated and published in Korea in 1949. Nagai's book was translated into 『長崎의 鐘』on August 1, and John Hersey's book was published as『廣島』on November 3. The two books were atomic bomb storyline about the fear of atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. In 1949, when the two texts were translated, Germany was divided into East and West Germany, and the Soviet Union succeeded in experimenting with atomic bomb development. In addition, China's Communist Party won the civil war and built the People’s Republic of China. Massacres by public power, such as the Jeju April 3rd Incident and the Yeosu-Suncheon Incident, were also intensifying anti-North Korean sentiment and hate politics in Korea. In this phase, the Soviet Union's development of atomic bombs realized the concerns and fears of World War III and the atomic(nuclear) war. In short, the paper attempted to reveal the message and meaning of the translation of the two texts dealing with atomic bombs to Korean society at a time when the Soviet Union developed atomic bombs and concerns over war outbreaks and escalated inter-Korean conflicts.
