Synopsis

«El autor González, junto con su coautor Lee, ofrece una reflexión profunda sobre la tensión entre la aceptación de la globalización por parte de Corea del Sur y su cultura ancestral… González traza astutamente esta tensión y, en general, su valoración de Corea del Sur es impresionantemente completa y abarca muchos aspectos de su compleja cultura... Combina su investigación rigurosa con una profunda experiencia personal, presentada con lucidez en este relato admirable pero crítico. Un análisis edificante que es riguroso pero justo». – Kirkus Reviews

Los autores John González y Young Lee combinan su formación y experiencia profesional para mirar detrás de la cara pública de Corea del Sur. Examinan las condiciones, los patrones de comportamiento y valores culturales que ayudaron a levantar al país de las cenizas tras la guerra de Corea al escenario internacional como la cuarta economía más grande de Asia y la duodécima en el mundo. Su análisis incluye los factores que han contribuido a la extraordinaria trayectoria del país y el precio que los coreanos han tenido que pagar por sus sorprendentes logros. A través de una combinación de relatos, anecdotas y pruebas contundentes, los autores captan a los coreanos siendo ellos mismos sin el glamour y la ostentación del K-Pop, K-Belleza y K-Drama.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

John Gonzalez was born in a small town of 12,000 people in the highlands of Mexico. At age 13, his family immigrated to the U.S., hoping he would forge a solid future for himself. Gonzalez always remembered why his parents decided to leave their home country and the sacrifices they made while uprooting the family. He learned English and French and earned several degrees, including a doctorate in educational leadership from UCLA. After receiving his doctorate, Gonzalez was appointed American Council on Education Fellow. He has worked in academic positions from middle to graduate school in the U.S. He lived in South Korea for five years, where he worked at an American School as a Spanish and English teacher and academic counselor. After completing his assignment, he was offered the position of school principal. While living in Korea, he immersed himself in the culture. He chose to write COREA DEL SUR: El precio de la eficiencia y el éxito to express his gratitude to the Korean people. Gonzalez enjoys traveling, spiritual retreats, and meeting people from all walks of life. In his spare time, he volunteers to teach yoga and meditation in the community.

Young Lee was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. At age 20, he immigrated to the U.S., where he attended college and received a baccalaureate and a master's degree in applied mathematics. Most of his professional experience is in financial analysis in U.S. companies. Twenty-five years after leaving his native Korea, Lee returned and taught as a visiting professor at a university for three years. During this visit, he experienced an unexpected culture shock related to the question: How could South Koreans achieve such remarkable financial success so quickly? This question inspired him to write this book using the analytical and problem-solving skills he learned from his educational and professional experience. Lee enjoys camping in the mountains, meditating in his home in California, and traveling the world to learn about different cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles.
