あらすじ
Every person has one thing in common, no matter what your ethnic, financial or religious status happens to be. This common denominator affects you whether you are male or female, and it causes you to spend hordes of time energy and money for its pursuit. What is it? Love. Since the dawning of time, there has always been a need to share our lives with someone else. Thus God's proclamation, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him (Genesis 2:18, NASB)." As Eve was created out of Adam, so do we all long for someone perfectly created for us. We desire a relationship in which we are connected to someone else in perfect harmony. The notion of a soulmate is woven into the fabric of our consciousness. We are all in a search for this seemingly mythical person and relationship. The key to this discovery can be found within the pages of the Bible. Once you've understood the mysteries that are hidden away in this sacred text, you too will be able to find what hundreds of others have already found: your soulmate.
作品考察・見どころ
ジョン・キムは本作で、愛を単なる感情ではなく、創世記の時代から魂に刻まれた「神聖な必然」として描き出します。聖書に秘められた謎を紐解きながら、運命の相手との出会いを理論立てるその筆致は、論理的でありながら極めて情熱的です。誰もが抱く孤独の正体を、神が意図した補完への渇望と定義する視点は、読者の人生観を根底から揺さぶる文学的な深みに満ちています。 完璧な調和を求める旅路は、自己の意識を再構築する探求でもあります。本作は、迷える現代人にとっての精神的な羅針盤となり、魂の片割れを見つけ出すための確かな光を放っています。愛に翻弄されるのではなく、愛を理解し掴み取るための深遠なる教典として、あなたの心に消えない火を灯すことでしょう。
