Description
The sequel to the book awarded the Magnesia Litera We Live in Turbulent Times – a war rages not far from us, democratic regimes face a powerful rise of autocracy, yet there are countries where established orders hardly change. One such country is North Korea. In 2020, Nina Špitálníková brought seven interviews that allowed readers to glimpse beneath the crust of one of the world's most brutal regimes. Now, the book Testimony of Life in North Korea, awarded the Magnesia Litera, is followed by eight more interviews. The interviewed personalities lived in North Korea in various circumstances. Some lived in prosperity, others barely survived, some sacrificed for their families, while others focused solely on themselves. However, they are united by one thing – at a certain moment, they saw no other option but to flee their homeland. And this was with the knowledge that by escaping, they could endanger their loved ones and perhaps not survive. They survived. And thanks to that, they were able to testify about life in North Korea.
