Hamel, the Dutchman Who Spent 13 Years in an Isolated Korea 조선에 갇힌 네덜란드인 하멜 한국에 표류하여 13년을 살다 간 이야기

n 1653, during the fourth year of King Hyojong’s reign in the Joseon Dynasty, a mysterious Western ship was wrecked off the coast of Jeju Island amid a fierce typhoon.

On board were sailors working for the Dutch East India Company. Among them was a man named Hendrick Hamel.

Hamel and his companions would go on to spend the next 13 years in Joseon, a land where they could not speak the language, the food was unfamiliar, and the customs were completely different from their own.

Desperate to return to their homeland, Hamel and his fellow sailors longed for freedom. But the Joseon government refused to let them leave.
