The shocking story of one of the few people born in a North Korean political prison to have escaped and survived.
North Korea is isolated and hungry, bankrupt and belligerent. It is also armed with nuclear weapons. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazi concentration camps. Very few born and raised in these camps have escaped. But Shin Donghyuk did.
In Escape from Camp 14, acclaimed journalist Blaine Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk and through the lens of Shin's life unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence-he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his own family. Through Harden's harrowing narrative of Shin's life and remarkable escape, he offers an unequaled inside account of one of the world's darkest nations and a riveting tale of endurance, courage, and survival.
BLAINE HARDEN is a contributor to the Economist and has formerly served as the Washington Post's bureau chief in East Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa. He is the author of Africa: Dispatches from a Fragile Continent and A River Lost: The Life and Death of the Columbia. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

评分其实,我最期待的部分是他逃出来,然后在中国的部分。谁让咱是中国人呢。但这部分的描述不太多。遗憾。 话说,最后他是在上海碰上个韩国记者,让他去了首尔。那韩国领事馆在哪里啊。= = 怎么这么好进。 大部分的笔墨用在了描述camp内发生的事情。好吧,如果读过Elie Wiesel的N...

奇葩一样存在的国家,金氏家族这个当代希特勒。【貌似有反转
评分故事描述比不上nothing to envy,主人公进入现代社会后的纠结也流于文字本身,也可能是被访者本身的沉默造成的吧。这样一个邪恶的体制中,谁比谁更邪恶?
评分第一本从头到尾细读完的英文书。。被震撼了。。
评分极其恶劣的环境与极其冷漠险恶的人际,手足陌路,怨恨相加。人都不是人了。不过却也难以撩拨大众的怜悯,星星之火。另,本书叙述方式和语言略令人失望啊。
评分audible听完~这种题材的书听多了都没感觉了。我们最幸福,平壤水族馆,都差不多。
