80 mots de Corée du Sud

80 words which are so many stories which tell South Korea and which, in addition to the roots words and their resonance in the hearts of the women and men who use them, evoke the special link that the author maintains with South Korea, its inhabitants and their language. Martine Prost is French. Married to a Korean, she now lives in Seoul. She attaches herself on the one hand to the origin of words, to their etymology, to their meanings and on the other hand to all that which is expressed through them: the wounds of the past, the evolution of society, the particularities Korean temperament. His family life in Korea allows him to refer to experiences personal.
