Summary/Abstract: Czerkies and Yongdeog explore the notion of han, which is deeply rooted in Korean culture. They discuss the universal aspect of this concept, its links with other Asian cultures, and the question of cultural scripts. Han characterizes the most important aspects of collective culture in South Korea – it appears in legends, folk theatre, religion, shamanic rites and authorized culture. This article presents the most important literary works that express han. Based on selected works of Polish and Korean literature, Czerkies and Yongdeog draw attention to similarities and differences in the expression of emotions related to han and nostalgia respectively.
