How do I add this book?

[Cecilia]

Hi,
I want to add a new edition of a book that was originally written in Corean. One problem is that I can only find the book in English, but I'm not sure if the original book is out there somewhere as well, but not connected... Another issue is that the author's name is spelled differently in Swedish than in English, how do I do then? In my edition it says Han Malsuk (and on the English Wikipedia I see Han Malsook, which is different than what it is here). Please advice me how to do this.

Regards,
Cecilia

Do you mean you can only find the book in English on GR? If so, I would just add a new edition, so both the Swedish and the English edition are connected. The primary author name should be the "English" version that GR uses. Han Malsuk should be added as a secondary author, and the translator as tertiary.

Perhaps the original Korean edition is also here on GR, but that's best left to Korean-speaking librarians/readers to sort out. :)

Ok, thanks!

New question though, I found the author here but the book is not connected to her. Can somebody do that please?

I take it you mean this: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Unfortunately, we do not have an English-language cover on GR to see what the English name should be. Mahlsook seems to be used on Italian editions, see also Worldcat:

There is no uniformity in English transliterations either: http://www.worldcat.org/title/hymn-of...

The Library of Congress entry apparently differs from the name on the cover: https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?...

What to do?

Yes, that's the one. Sorry, I forgot the link...
