Moo-Jung Cho (조무정, or pen-name C. Bonaventure) was raised in Korea for the first quarter of his life. After successive post-baccalaureate degrees in Canada and the United States, he spent 40 years working as a pharmaceutical chemist both in industry and academia. After retiring in 2013, he began interpreting Korean proverbs in four essay collections, all in English to promote Korean culture and disseminate the wisdom therein. These essays should offer a counter-balance to the “fast and furious” pace of modern living.
M. J. Cho has resided in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife June, since May 2018. June is a faculty member of the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.

책 소개
분야국어 외국어 사전
The beauty of a proverb rests in its simplicity. Any children can use them as they see fit and refine them as they grow older with newer wisdom.
If there is one unique feature in Korean old sayings, it would be gentleness, often with humor derived from the everyday lives of average citizens. They are as if the sharp edges have been worn down through continuous use over many years. They are rolling hills under the blue sky peppered with lazy white clouds, never the Alps or the Himalayas under a windy snowstorm. They are small, gentle streams with the peaceful sound of a lullaby, never the deafening thunder of Niagara Falls.
A collection of 100 essays, A Dog Barking at the Moon, again introduces 100 Korean proverbs. It is a sequel to the first four titles, The Tongue Can Break Bones (사람의 혀는 뼈가 없어도 사람의 뼈를 부순다), Easier to See Love Leaving than Arriving (드는 정은 몰라도 나는 정은 안다), A Hole Gets Bigger Whenever You Work on It (구멍은 깎을수록 커진다), and The Dragon is Easier to Draw Than the Snake (안 본 용은 그려도, 본 뱀은 못 그리겠다). Collectively, these essays show how universal the wisdom therein is in both Eastern and Western cultures throughout generations.
