The shocking story of one of the few people born in a North Korean political prison to have escaped and survived.

North Korea is isolated and hungry, bankrupt and belligerent. It is also armed with nuclear weapons. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazi concentration camps. Very few born and raised in these camps have escaped. But Shin Donghyuk did.

In Escape from Camp 14, acclaimed journalist Blaine Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk and through the lens of Shin's life unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence-he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his own family. Through Harden's harrowing narrative of Shin's life and remarkable escape, he offers an unequaled inside account of one of the world's darkest nations and a riveting tale of endurance, courage, and survival.

其实，我最期待的部分是他逃出来，然后在中国的部分。谁让咱是中国人呢。但这部分的描述不太多。遗憾。 话说，最后他是在上海碰上个韩国记者，让他去了首尔。那韩国领事馆在哪里啊。= = 怎么这么好进。 大部分的笔墨用在了描述camp内发生的事情。好吧，如果读过Elie Wiesel的N...  

看完了，很失望，这本书是讲的一个朝鲜集中营脱北者的离奇经历，但里面一段中国逃亡的描写使我对整本书的可信性都产生怀疑。 一个基本不懂中文的朝鲜人在人生地不熟的中国，成功混了1年多，说是晚上没地方去，就去网吧，中文都不认识，又没钱，去网吧？搞笑吧；杭州到上海，申...  

真相！脱南者是脱北者数十倍 作者：粤进 2018年12月21日 很多不学无术、没有独立思考能力的愚昧国人喜欢把脱北者这个词挂在嘴上，以为这就能论证北朝鲜体制不如南朝鲜。 那么，所谓的脱北者真的很多吗？有脱南者那么多吗？今天，我们用数据说话。 先厘清概念。脱南者就是舍弃南...  

To be honest, I am astonished to know the existence of such things. I was never aware of that in fact. From the book and what I read on the internet, I find those camps as horrible as the Nazi camps in many ways. They are even worse than the latter consider...

第一本从头到尾细读完的英文书。。被震撼了。。

故事描述比不上nothing to envy，主人公进入现代社会后的纠结也流于文字本身，也可能是被访者本身的沉默造成的吧。这样一个邪恶的体制中，谁比谁更邪恶？

现代集中营和完全没有生命存在感的人们。

audible听完~这种题材的书听多了都没感觉了。我们最幸福，平壤水族馆，都差不多。
