| Summary | "The Red Miriok" by Anna M. Barnes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Korea, a nation historically known for its seclusion and unique customs, and explores the experiences of missionaries as they navigate the complexities of culture, faith, and superstition. Central to the narrative is Mr. Kit-ze, a quirky and superstitious boatman, along with the Reid family, who embark on a journey to study the people and conditions of the Korean interior. The opening of the book introduces Mr. Reid and his family as they prepare for a sampan trip up the Han River, discussing their needs for the journey, which includes the peculiar Mr. Kit-ze as their boatman. The family members voice differing opinions on Mr. Kit-ze's reliability due to his eccentric behaviors and attachments to his belief in mirioks—protective charms believed to ward off evil spirits. As they set off, they encounter cultural nuances, superstitions, and personal dynamics that underscore the challenges of working within this foreign landscape. The opening sets a tone of curiosity and exploration, hinting at deeper connections between the characters and the people they aim to help. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
