The Jacket Chapter 15 Part 1

In which a vigorous Englishman, stranded in a Polynesian isle centuries past, recounts his transformation from shipwrecked castaway to a formidable figure enmeshed in the intrigues and harsh customs of the Korean peninsula. Amidst betrayals and royal courts, he employs wit, strength, and a mastery of tongues to navigate captivity and earn admiration in a land both alien and steeped in tradition.
