K severu ot 38-y paralleli: Kak zhivut v KNDR
North Korea, still incredibly secretive, is no longer a black box for the world. The radical social experiment that began there in the 1940s seems to be coming to an end. And behind it are the fates of people - countless lives. How those lives were lived and what is happening in the country now tells the well-known orientalist and publicist Andrei Lankov. The author has had the opportunity to visit North Korea on several occasions and to talk to people from all walks of life. These are state security officers and smugglers, North Korean new rich and defectors, intellectuals (who are supposed to be prestigious, but still dangerous) and drivers (who are safe and still prestigious). The book covers technology (from exotic gas engines to the North Korean internet) and monuments to leaders, houses and trains, hunger and delicacies - the everyday life of North Koreans, their worries, anxieties and joys. About how North Korea is slowly and reluctantly opening up to the world.
