Korea: Land of the Morning Calm

Korea: Land of the Morning Calm
by Chong-Sik Lee, Mike Langford
(1)

10 Used! | New! from $0.19

North Korea

"Undoubtedly the warmest, friendliest, most polite and most hospitable people I have met." So wrote Mike Langford after his four months' journey through North and South Korea by bus, boat, bicycle and on foot, often living with the people in their homes. On North Korea he wrote"The countryside is fresh and clean; the people have a spirit of socialism that must be like that of China in the sixties - everyone looks like they have just walked out of a revolutionary poster. They are wonderful!" Whilst Korea is now a highly modernized, industrial society, especially in the South, Mike took his cameras off the track in order to record the magnificent scenery and the Korean people of the countryside. Of the thousands of shots he took, this book pre3sents ninety of them in stunning fashion. Already famous for his photography in such works as 'Han Suyin's China', his empathy with Korea shinee through. In a style that could only be displayed by a native of the country, Chong-Sik Lee, Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, has produced a fascinating, historical and cultural background text which will surely whet the appetite of the interested student of this comparatively little-known but ancient land. ---- from book's dustjacket

To Dream of Pigs: Travels in South and North Korea (Desert Island Travels)

To Dream of Pigs: Travels in South and North Korea (Desert Island Travels)
Clive Leatherdale (Author)

Download: $7.79

North Korea

'The scariest place on earth.' So said President Bill Clinton on his visit to the no-man's land between South and North Korea. The minefields and barbed wire mark the jagged edge of world peace. If the world is to see a nuclear war, Korea is the likely flashpoint.

The contrast between the two Koreas - the dynamism of the South confronting the oppression of the North - could not be more stark. Yet, as the author reveals, Koreans from both sides exhibit similarities of thought and perception. Both, for example, believe that to dream of pigs is to wake up rich.

Books on South Korea are rare, those on North Korea even rarer. Clive Leatherdale's sharp observations and bitter-sweet experiences offer a valuable insight into a divided land and a divided people.

Reviews of To Dream of Pigs:

‘Leatherdale is a seasoned traveller and prolific writer. … Alert and observant of the dying social and mores and customs of a changing Korea. … Several episodes and encounters with the opposite sex are described with breathtaking details and skill. … The book is not only delightful reading but also a valuable and original literary feat.’
The Journal of Asian Studies

‘If the title seems curious, many of the observations are well observed and sharply focused. … So many of the comments, about self wealth (kibun), preserved vegetables (kimch’i), about taking buses and boats, and so on, are excellent.’
British Association for Korean Studies

‘An excellent travelogue of both North and South Korea.’

Axis of Evil World Tour - An American's Travels in Iran, Iraq and North Korea
Scott Fisher (Author)
(11)

Download: $2.99
2 Used! | New! from $2.99

North Korea

Axis of Evil World Tour goes beyond the superficial coverage found in much of the media to bring a boots-on-the-ground look at three of the most enigmatic, difficult-to-enter countries on the planet—Iran, Iraq, and North Korea.

North Korea: Visit the tense yet quiet DMZ that divides North from South, one of the eeriest places on earth. Spend time touring Pyongyang, the showcase capital that houses the regime and its elites. Travel halfway across the country to the beautiful “Heavenly Fragrance” mountain for a visit to the surreal, cult-like “museums” housing gifts to the country’s leaders, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il.

Iraq: What’s it like to live on a U.S. military base during the war in Iraq? Spend two months as part of the Iraqi Survey Group, the international team that was tasked with finding Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.

Iran: What do Iranians think of the U.S. and Americans? You might be surprised. Travel around the country and take an inside look at Khomeini’s tomb, hear about Iran’s own fight against Al Qaeda, and take a look inside the secret world of the mullahs that really run Iran.

Inside North Korea

Inside North Korea
by Mark Edward Harris, Bruce Cumings
(8)

43 Used! | New! from $0.13

North Korea

All but closed to outside visitors and influence, its public posture guarded and combative, we see almost nothing from inside North Korea. Award-winning photographer Mark Edward Harris has had rare access to this reclusive country, traveling within its borders as well as documenting life along its northern border with China and the highly militarized DMZ dividing North and South Korea. His images are amazing: the monumental architecture and empty streets of the capital; tightly controlled zones of economic and tourist trade with South Korea; mass games featuring 100,000 choreographed participants. Short essays, extended captions, and a foreword by North Korea expert Bruce Cumings further illuminate a country increasingly at the center of international politics.
