8°, br. edit., pp. X - 198. La religione primitiva della Corea, il confucianesimo, il buddismo, il taoismo, ecc. Interessante e rara monografia.
Visiting North Korea is a surreal experience. Harried-looking traffic police clear up imaginary bottlenecks on the deserted streets of Pyongyang, while long lines of forlorn citizens wait patiently to be admitted to amusements parks that have long since been abandoned. Everywhere, pretense and illusion are the order of the day. Closed to the West for more than forty years, North Korea is an isolated and alien land. When Yi Sun-Kyung traveled there in the summer of 1994-the first Western journalist ever allowed in for an extended visit-she found a nation ruled by fear and a people yearning for unification with the South. This extraordinary memoir grew out of that unforgettable trip. But Inside the Hermit Kingdom is more than just a travelogue of a strange and foreign country. It is in fact the story of two journeys-the first a journey to a place seldom seen and only vaguely understood, the second a journey of self-discovery for the author. Born in South Korea in 1967, Sun-Kyung moved with her family to Canada when she was still a girl. 237p. plates Book

pp. xvi, 300, (xvii-cxlviii)[Epilogue, Bibliography, Footnotes]. 8vo. Original full black glossy wraps. Spiral bound. A study of American political response to Communism and One Worlders, supported by a large documentary apparatus. Written by the founder of the John Birch Society, this is a classic attack on President Eisenhower. The case is made that, while not exactly a card-carrying member of the Communist Party, his policies certainly aided and abetted the International Communist Conspiracy every bit as much as did those of his immediate Democratic predecessors.

br. Cosa succede quando si risponde al precariato del sistema capitalista trovando lavoro in una delle ultime realtà comuniste rimaste? In gioco ci sono la propria visione del mondo, le relazioni amorose e amicali, la ricerca di stabilità e dignità. Poco più che trentenne e attrezzata con un Master in diplomazia, Carla Vitantonio è atterrata per la prima volta all'aeroporto di Pyongyang con un lavoro come insegnante di italiano. Non sapeva che la sua esperienza da expat nella dittatura nordcoreana sarebbe durata quattro anni e che proprio lì, diventando capo missione di una Ong, avrebbe conosciuto a fondo il mondo della cooperazione internazionale. Attraverso esplorazioni esistenziali e relazionali, in un quotidiano ordinario e straordinario, la sua lettura della Corea del Nord offre uno sguardo inedito e fresco, che arricchisce di sfumature e sottigliezze la consueta rappresentazione del regime monolitico per eccellenza. Come in un Monopoli governato da regole aleatorie, imprevisti e probabilità, Pyongyang Blues segue il ritmo e la ciclicità senza scampo delle stagioni, naturali e diplomatiche, raccontando un contesto in cui la vita stessa è un atto politico, poiché è scandita e amministrata dalle regole di un regime onnipresente, incarnato nelle azioni dei suoi cittadini.

br. Una terribile dittatura o un Paese minacciato dalle ingerenze straniere? Uno Stato comunista fuori dal tempo o un regime in continua evoluzione? La Corea del Nord appare come un microcosmo chiuso e inaccessibile, un "regno eremita" governato da un Leader folcloristico e a tratti sanguinario, che suscita preoccupazione e curiosità. Eppure, nella recente corsa al riarmo nucleare, Pyongyang ha saputo tenere in scacco gli Stati Uniti di Donald Trump, occupando le cronache internazionali. Questo libro cerca di rispondere ai tanti interrogativi che affollano i media mainstream: il percorso storico che ha portato alla nascita delle due Coree, i conflitti che hanno ridisegnato la geografia dell'Asia, il lungo corso della dinastia Kim, l'analisi di uno scacchiere geopolitico nel quale si intrecciano l'espansionismo cinese, il riarmo giapponese e il conseguente timore americano. Un viaggio nel cuore di una Nazione "aliena", arricchito dalle testimonianze di esperti e dissidenti: dalla militarizzazione della società alla dottrina del Juche, dall'identità culturale al profilo umano e politico dei suoi protagonisti, dalle condizioni economiche del Paese alla vita quotidiana del suo popolo.
