'Short Words Become Weapons'

◆The Village of Discontent = It depicts the chaos and fractures of imaginary village residents through mystery and noir genres. The story revolves around betrayal, escape, disappearance, and conflict, circulating like a carousel across the boundaries of time. Various characters take turns as narrators. As they share their circumstances and stories, the narrative density increases. Events explained from one character's perspective are reinterpreted or overturned in the next narrator's story. (Written by Sasha Naspini / Translated by Choi Jeong-yoon / Minumsa)

◆Short Words Become Weapons = The author argues that short words are advantageous in presentations, customer consultations, reports, and meetings because listeners remember short words better. If sharp and strong, they wield powerful influence. The book introduces how to speak like a copywriter. It divides important speaking moments into six categories and explains tailored strategies. "Speaking briefly is, I guarantee, a profitable business." (Written by Yuge Doru / Translated by Kim Jin-yeon / Sensio)

◆Nationwide Festival Pride = It warmly unfolds the festivals of twelve declining regions. Rather than focusing on each region's culture, history, or space, it pays more attention to the people filling the festivals. These include an unknown trot singer passionately performing before a small audience, those traveling nationwide to participate in rice cake fights, emcees striving to lift the atmosphere, and high school students competing in talent shows themed around the Miryang Arirang. By carefully reading their sincerity, the book approaches the essence of festivals. (Written by Kim Hon-bi & Park Tae-ha / Minumsa)
