Central Europeans in Korea: Alice Schalek  Alma Karlin  Fritz Hansgirg  and Many Others is a
multi-perspective compendium of evidence about the astonishingly large number of visitors to
Korea from Austria  the Czech Republic  Hungary  Romania  Poland  and Slovenia (or the
respective predecessor states) up to the mid-twentieth century.Carefully researched 
spotlighting numerous previously undiscovered sources  and richly illustrated  this volume
examines and presents testimonies and traces of these contacts  be they documents  writings 
photographs  or works of art. Included are various cases of contact between Koreans and Central
Europeans in Korean settlements on Russian or Chinese (or Manchurian) territory. The contact of
Austrian prisoners of war and Czechoslovak legionnaires with the Korean diaspora in the Far
East forms a rich side story. Overall  this volume bears witness to the history of contact
between Koreans and Western travelers and the historical experience of Western expatriates in
Korea as still being full of surprises.
