The Korean Cultural Center in Poland has announced its upcoming November Literature Club meeting, featuring renowned Korean author Park Wan-suh's acclaimed work "Mother's Stake." The session is organized in partnership with Dom Kultury Śródmieście and represents part of an ambitious year-long literary initiative designed to promote Korean literature among Polish readers.
The Literature Club operates as a monthly gathering that brings together readers passionate about Korean literature. Throughout the year, the program features eleven sessions, each held on the last Saturday of the month and focusing on a different significant work from Korea's literary canon. The format encourages active participation, with attendees who have read the selected book coming together to engage in open discussions about the story, themes, and their personal interpretations.
Participants in the program have additional incentives to maintain regular attendance. Those who attend seven or more sessions throughout the year will receive a special commemorative gift, reflecting the Cultural Center's commitment to fostering sustained engagement with Korean literary works. This reward system demonstrates the organization's dedication to building a consistent community of Korean literature enthusiasts in Warsaw.
The November session is scheduled for Saturday, November 29, 2025, running from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM. The meeting will take place at Dom w Alejach, located at Aleje Jerozolimskie 2 in Warsaw. Park Wan-suh's "Mother's Stake" serves as the featured work for this discussion, offering participants an opportunity to explore one of Korea's most celebrated literary voices and examine themes that resonate across cultural boundaries.
The Korean Cultural Center's Literature Club initiative represents a significant cultural exchange program that bridges Korean and Polish literary traditions. By providing a regular forum for discussion and analysis, the program helps international readers develop deeper appreciation for Korean storytelling techniques, cultural contexts, and universal themes that connect diverse global audiences through the power of literature.
