Keby niekto chcel tip na skvelú knihu, tu ho máte. Neskutočná vec. Ak prečítanie tejto knihy nevylieči človeka z komunizmu, tak potom to dokáže asi len smrť.

In this landmark addition to the literature of totalitarianism, award-winning journalist Barbara Demick follows the lives of six North Korean citizens over fifteen years—a chaotic period that saw the death of Kim Il-sung, the rise to power of his son Kim Jong-il (the father of Kim Jong-un), and a devastating famine that killed one-fifth of the population. Demick brings to life what it means to be living under the most repressive regime today—an Orwellian world that is by choice not connected to the Internet, where displays of affection are punished, informants are rewarded, and an offhand remark can send a person to the gulag for life. She takes us deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government censors, and through meticulous and sensitive reporting we see her subjects fall in love, raise families, nurture ambitions, and struggle for survival. One by one, we witness their profound, life-altering disillusionment with the government and their realization that, rather than providing them with lives of abundance, their country has betrayed them.

How China’s Adoption Market Led to Child Trafficking  | China Books Review
In 1991 China allowed foreigners to adopt its children, supposedly abandoned by parents because of the one-child policy. But some had been taken or trafficked to feed a growing demand.

Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick - Book Review

#profile.php?id=100042874102321

I’m back with another book review. While looking around on Reader, I noticed no one talks about this book, which is a shame since it’s such a fascinating read.
Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick – Book Review
I mentioned in one of my WWW Wednesday posts, that it was my favourite read of the year so far, and I really meant it. Demick’s book left a long-lasting impression on me, so I felt like I needed to share my thoughts. Let’s get into it! Think maybe you’ve got the writing bug? REAL WRITER’S MARKET. Submissions now open. Thank you and Happy Publishing…. #realwritersmarket #BarbaraDemick
