Card by card and bead by bead, the immortal fortune teller gets closer to learning the truth about herself, but some secrets remain out of reach. Pamela journeys to Scotland searching for the truth about her past. After using a perfume that reveals memories, she is repeatedly relives her most painful memory. Will she ever wake from this nightmare? Only Ash holds the answer, but Belus is the only one capable of getting it out of him before it is too late. Praise for The Tarot Café series “A new series that is part fantasy, part horror and entirely intriguing . . . Park’s artwork is stellar.” —Publishers Weekly “The black-and-white manga-style illustrations are clear and expressive and fully complement the text, and the tarot cards are interestingly drawn. As each one is turned over, its meaning is explained. The stories are mostly about adults, but they will appeal to older teens as they move quickly and are engrossing.” —School Library Journal “The stories are suitably creepy in a gothic, Twilight Zone-ish way . . . The artwork really makes this manga stand above the crowd.” —Booklist

This book examines the history of the German-Korean relationship from the late nineteenth to the twenty-first century, focusing on the nations’ varied encounters with each other during the last years of the Yi dynasty, the Japanese occupation of Korea, the Cold War, and the post-Cold War era. With essays from a range of internationally respected scholars, this collection moves between history, diplomacy, politics, education, migration, literature, cinema, and architecture to uncover historical and cultural intersections between Germany and Korea. Each nation has navigated the challenges of modernity in different ways, and yet traditional East-West dichotomies belie the deeper affinities between them. This book points to those affinities, focusing in particular on the past and present internal divisions that perhaps make Germany and Korea as similar as Germany and Japan.
