Fall in love with Fantasy novels.
The desire to tell and hear stories is essential for the species known as Homo sapiens. Since there are hardly any people who live in silence, people seek out and consume plausible stories like water in the desert. Silence quickly leads to narratives, and small stories of a sort of separate "once upon a time" world emerge, existing nowhere in the uncertain times of the past. Since these small stories are not intended to be understood as facts, they are filled with somewhat flat characters, resulting in little emotional reaction. Stories about supernatural beings and events presumed to have actually occurred at a specific time and place become the sounds of fantasy myths and legends. Connecting the dots is an innate human trait, so in ambiguous situations, an explanatory narrative is adopted to take the form of a story. Humans, rooted in narrative, form the world with stories that have plots based on their experiences and memories. We dream and imagine, remember and predict, hope and despair, believe and doubt, hate and fall in love through stories. -
Sale!Prologue. In baseball and soccer, the outcome is determined by the coach's tactics. To maximize performance and profits, it is necessary to delight customers and fans with quick information gathering and accurate analysis based on vast data. The coach, who is responsible for the entire game, must respect the individuality of the players, acknowledge the unique authority of the coaches, and accommodate the demands of the audience, while also considering the strategy for player placement based on the opposing team. Despite the limited capacity of the coach, the responsibility for poor performance is absolute, so fundamentally, leading players and coaches to victory and success requires deep knowledge of baseball and soccer. We approach baseball tactics through an understanding of pitching, catching, hitting, defense, and base running, and examine soccer tactics by analyzing the four-back formation and three-back formation. In the Major League and Premier League, a manager is a condensed version of a strategist. We wander through the forests of baseball and soccer while reflecting on the fierce lives depicted in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

민족적 상황이 남긴 영향으로 역사 속에는 민족적 특성이 남아 있기에 통사通史적 명료성을 통해 인문학 여행에 다가선다. 행운의 여신 포르투나가 마음대로 돌려 위치를 변화시킨 나라별 역사의 궤적을 인문학 여행으로 따라간다. 주사위에 행운을 맡긴 그리신화의 튀케와 달리 로마신화에서 포르투나는 수레바퀴로 운명을 결정짓는다. 제임스 조이스와 셰익스피어의 영국, 단테 알리기에리와 레오나르도 다 빈치, 움베르토 에코의 이탈리아, 루벤스의 벨기에, 니코스 카잔차키스의 그리스, 밀란 쿤데라의 체코슬로바키아, 데카르트와 빈센트 반 고흐, 사르트르의 프랑스, 도스토예프스키의 러시아를 훑는다. 역사가 갖는 내적인 의미는 진실에 다가서려는 사고와 노력, 원인과 기원에 관한 탐색이다. 개와 늑대의 시간, 그 적요한 저녁 시간에 그 무엇에도 침식당하지 않는 격식에서 벗어난 자유를 만끽한다. 통사通史로 훑는 인문학여행으로 세상을 노닌다. 인문학 여행은 우리의 삶 그 자체가 아름다울 때 풍요롭다. -

Prologue.
Due to the impact of ethnic circumstances left in history, the ethnic characteristics remain, approaching the humanities journey through the clarity of comprehensive historiography. Following the trajectory of the history of each country, changed at the whims of the goddess of luck, Fortuna, the humanities journey explores the paths of history. In contrast to the Tu'kke of Greek mythology, who left luck to the dice, in Roman mythology, Fortuna determines destiny with a wheel. We traverse James Joyce and Shakespeare's England, Dante Alighieri and Leonardo da Vinci, Umberto Eco's Italy, Rubens's Belgium, Nikos Kazantzakis's Greece, Milan Kundera's Czechoslovakia, Descartes and Vincent van Gogh, Sartre's France, and Dostoevsky's Russia. The internal meaning of history involves the exploration of truth, thought, and effort to approach it, as well as the investigation of causes and origins. In the timeless hours between the dog and the wolf, we revel in the freedom that transcends all formality during that elusive evening time. Embarking on a humanities journey through comprehensive historiography, we explore the world. Humanities travel is enriching when life itself is beautiful. -

Prologue.
Dutch historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) released "The Autumn of the Middle Ages" in 1919, offering profound insights into the medieval era and shedding light on its dark times. With a deep understanding of language, Huizinga becomes captivated by play and devotes himself to the study of games within the course of history. The medieval period is a beautiful sunset that occurs as darkness descends, symbolized by sunsets and moonlight. Culture emerges from play as a bud of the Renaissance. The ideal life rooted in the era of the red dusk consists of three paths. Firstly, it involves escaping from the mundane world, denying worldly pleasures absolutely. Secondly, it involves striving to change the world, ardently desiring a transformed society. Thirdly, it involves filling life with fantasy, living life as a game. </p> The paths of escape and struggle are taken by a tiny minority, while fantasy is a journey that many can embark upon. The quality of fantasy is determined by accumulated knowledge and intellectual abilities. When the realm of fantasy is beneficial and enjoyable, it truly becomes genuine play. By doing something beneficial for oneself and others, one gains wealth and prosperity.
