Lautensach[s "Korea" is a regional geography, the most
comprehensive one ever written on Korea in a western
language. It was written before the country was divided and
provides a waelth of information on the entire country,
particularly on the north, something that has been difficult
toobtain in the West in the past forty years.
Unfortunately, only very few volumes survived the end of
World War II, so that it has been very difficultto get hold
of the book. Lautensachh[s "Korea" is considered a classical
example of regional geography.
