"The Cloud Dream of the Nine" is a revelation of what the Oriental thinks and feels not only about things of the earth but about the hidden things of the Universe. It helps us towards a comprehensible knowledge of the Far East. The Cloud Dream of the Nine (Kuunmong) is a seventeenth century Korean novel set in ninth century China.
