유영모의 사상 원류로서의 소설 ｢귀남과 수남｣

초록

This paper introduces and analyzes Yoo Young-mo"s novel "Gwi-nam and Su-nam. I also wrote about how this novel differs from the existing evangelism novels, and how it relates to Yoo Young-mo"s thoughts. This novel was won in the contest for the short story part of Maeil Shinbo in January 1917, and is the story of a couple who suffered the death of their son twice. Through this, Yoo Young-mo suggested that a new definition of superstition should be made and that true prayers should be made. Such a theme is of special significance in the history of Christian literature in that it goes beyond the existing evangelical novel structure, which shows a ups and downsistic aspect. Yoo Young-mo explained the connection between death and religion throughout his life, counting the “number of days alive” rather than “age”, and presenting the Lord"s Prayer as a personal version, emphasizing the kingdom of God. This paper suggests that the beginning of his ideas lies in the novel "Gwi-nam and Su-nam" written by Yoo Young-mo in his 20s. In that respect, this novel is a very remarkable work, whether it is looking at Yoo Young-mo"s personal thoughts or Christian literature.
