In the society of pariah capitalism, the new trend in literature coping with materialism and commercialism is called 'literature of idealism'. The study about 'idealism' is being done in poetry, but barely in novel. However, discussion about 'idealism' will be started soon. I am going to present minimum necessity for the productive discussion about 'idealism' in novel through this dissertation. There are three kinds of novel that express 'idealism' most-religion novel, artist novel and environmental novel. That is because religion novel deals with soul, artist novel emphasize more on mind and tao than sophisticated style, and lastly, environmental novel stresses that we have to pursue idealistic life because human's desire destroys environment. There are a lot of religion novels, but ideal works of 'idealism novel' are not many enough. In christian novel, The Martyr by Eun-guk Kim and The Son of Human by Mun-yeol Lee are the model works. Also, Mandala by Seong-dong Kim and Manhang by Chan-ju Jeong are right models for buddhism novel, and Maewoldang Kimsisub by Mun-gu Lee and Novel Mokminsimseo by In-kyung Hwang are right for confucianism novel. Kmsizo by Mun-yeol Lee Choui, Chusa by Sung-won Han and Home of wing by Cheong-jun Lee are good examples of 'idealism' in artist novel. For the last, The load to Auraji, Meditation about Snip by Won-il Kim are right work to show 'idealism' in environmental novel. It is not easy to define concept and range of 'ideal' and 'idealism' clearly. Therefore, it is better have discussion with presenting ideal novels than define the concept and then find suitable novels. From this thought, I divided 'idealism' novel into three subjects and presented representative novels in each subjects.
