Sneak Peak “The king, mocking the wise counsellor, cried out, “They say that a sage has seven orifices to his heart; let us see if this is the case with Pi Kan.” This Chinese monarch, himself so much like Herod in other respects, had a wife who in her character resembled Herodias. It was she who expressed the bloody wish to see the heart of Pi Kan. By the imperial order the sage was put to death and his body ripped open. His heart, torn out, was brought before the cruel pair. Ki Tsze, the third counsellor, was cast into prison.” Synopsis Corea The Hermit Nation (ninth edition) published 1911; originally published 1882. Korea, dubbed a "hermit nation" because of its isolation from the rest of the world, was little known to English speakers in the late 1800s. During his time in Japan, William Elliot Griffis (1843–1928), an American author and educator who did much to promote understanding between the United States and Japan, became fascinated by Korea and its influence on Japanese history and culture. Griffis had yet to visit Korea, so this historical overview is based on printed sources and eyewitness accounts rather than personal experience. Despite this, and despite the fact that he was occasionally chastised for presenting Korea in the context of Japan, the book was well received.
