North Korea Journal

This beautifully illustrated journal offers a unique glimpse into life inside North Korea, one of the world's most secretive countries.

Written by Michael Palin, former Monty Python star and intrepid globetrotter, this journal chronicles his journey to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in 2018, where he meticulously kept a journal of his experiences.

From the gleaming modern capital city of Pyongyang to the countryside that has barely changed in decades, Palin shares his observations and conversations with official guides, teachers, propaganda artists, farmers, and soldiers.

This thought-provoking journal offers a fascinating look at life under a regime that seems alien and authoritarian to outsiders, while also highlighting the shared humanity that exists between people from different cultures.

With Palin's trademark warmth and wit, this journal is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the mysterious world of North Korea.
