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.

評分其实,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...
評分囫囵吞枣的看过,不管真假,就当是故事看吧。权做英文泛读资料看的,通篇记叙,较易通读。 不过如果书的内容所写均为真,那也够骇人听闻的!Camp14为其一,其他更有种种。食物的匮乏,幼时经常偷食母亲的午餐,不管是母子关系,还是兄弟关系,或者是父子关系,在Camp的环境下都...

評分高中最后一年,申请的压力压得我亚历山大,每天都担心没地方读大学,下半年还有两个大考试,最近又在发考试试卷,有好几门科目都考得差强人意,不禁有点心灰意冷,想想我的美帝梦渐行渐远。 意外在图书馆看到这本书,看完之后无非发现,人对自己的生活一定要有信心,就像那个在...
極其惡劣的環境與極其冷漠險惡的人際,手足陌路,怨恨相加。人都不是人瞭。不過卻也難以撩撥大眾的憐憫,星星之火。另,本書敘述方式和語言略令人失望啊。
评分震撼!Update:原來都是假的,但作為虛構故事看看也不賴。
评分文筆一般,看到網上有報道說主角承認撒瞭謊,所以,最好彆太當真。
评分故事本身就很有吸引力,不需要太多誇張的技巧渲染。
