I ly af mørket : nordkoreanske skæbner af Barbara Demick (2009)

  1. 93
    Pyongyang : en rejse i Nordkorea af Guy Delisle (lorax)
    lorax: Pyongyang is an outsider's view of the one part of the country where foreigners are generally permitted; Nothing to Envy is an inside look at ordinary life elsewhere in the country where the situation is even grimmer.
  2. 20
    Kim Il-song's North Korea: af Helen-Louise Hunter (wandering_star)
    wandering_star: Credited in Nothing To Envy as one of the sources of info about DPRK.
  3. 20
    Flugten fra Camp 14 : én mands utrolige rejse fra Nordkorea til friheden i Vesten af Blaine Harden (Stbalbach, rebeccanyc)
    Stbalbach: Amazing story of escape from a North Korea prison camp.
    rebeccanyc: Demick's book explores the lives of several people who lived in and escaped from North Korea, while Harden's focuses on one individual who was born in and escaped from a North Korean slave labor camp. The two books complement each other.
  4. 20
    Escape from North Korea: The Untold Story of Asia's Underground Railroad af Melanie Kirkpatrick (TomWaitsTables)
  5. 20
    Without You, There Is No Us: My Time with the Sons of North Korea's Elite af Suki Kim (Nickelini)
    Nickelini: Both books are compelling, fascinating reads. Nothing to Envy covers a broad scope, and Without You, There is No Us has a tight focus. They explore the North Korean regime from different angles.
  6. 10
    This is Paradise!: My North Korean Childhood af Hyok Kang (justine28)
    justine28: This is Paradise is a first-hand account of North Korean regime and especially the 1990s famine as experienced by a defector. Very similar to the stories gathered by Demick - a journalist. The two books complement each other.
  7. 00
    Tibetan Diary: From Birth to Death and Beyond in a Himalayan Valley of Nepal af Geoff Childs (meggyweg)
  8. 00
    The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why It Matters af B. R. Myers (g33kgrrl)
  9. 04
    Oscar Wao & hans korte og forunderlige liv af Junot Díaz (weener)
    weener: One is fiction, one is non-fiction. One is in Latin America, one is in Asia. Both are heartbreaking, deeply affecting tales of life under totalitarianism.

Barbara Demick's book Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea opens with a nighttime satellite image of northeast Asia that shows the bright lights of South Korea and China. In the middle of the photograph is a dark spot — a nation of 23 million people that has little electricity.
tilføjet af bongiovi | RedigerNPR (Jan 6, 2010)
 
Nothing to Envy – the title comes from a piece of propaganda aimed at hoodwinking gullible North Korean citizens – is a fascinating work which highlights in the lives of the individuals concerned the triumph of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.
 
Elegantly structured and written, Nothing To Envy is a groundbreaking work of literary nonfiction.
