Journals of Korea. Travel to the last border of the Cold War

By Galindo, Bruno

Barcelona 2007. Publishing company: Debate. 304 pages

This Argentine journalist matured in the sections of El Pais newspaper. Bruno Galindo’s work is the fruit of a trip to "the last border of the cold war" as he calls it. Through thousands of anecdotes faithfully collected in 2004 despite difficult conditions, Galindo discovers in North Korea an Orwellian dictatorship. Journals of Korea, written in the style of the large reports and in the best tradition of the trips’ literature, present a fascinating portrait of two countries as different as similar and as unknow as interesting".
