THE BOOK BEHIND THE HIT DOCUMENTARY A glimpse of life inside the
world's most secretive country, as told by Britain's best-loved
travel writer. In May 2018, former Monty Python stalwart and
intrepid globetrotter Michael Palin spent two weeks in the
notoriously secretive Democratic People's Republic of Korea, a
cut-off land without internet or phone signal, where the
countryside has barely moved beyond a centuries-old peasant economy
but where the cities have gleaming skyscrapers and luxurious
underground train stations. His resulting documentary for Channel 5
was widely acclaimed. Now he shares his day-by-day diary of his
visit, in which he describes not only what he saw - and his
fleeting views of what the authorities didn't want him to see - but
recounts the conversations he had with the country's inhabitants,
talks candidly about his encounters with officialdom, and records
his musings about a land wholly unlike any other he has ever
visited - one that inspires fascination and fear in equal measure.
Written with Palin's trademark warmth and wit, and illustrated with
beautiful colour photographs throughout, the journal offers a rare
insight into the North Korea behind the headlines.
