‎North Koreans, Glimpses of Daily Life in the DPRK‎

‎, Primavera Pers, 2016 Hardcover with dusjacket, 252 pages ., ca. 350 ill. in color. ISBN 9789059972308.‎

‎This book is not about parades and mass events of official DPRK propaganda, neither does it pretend to show secret North Korea. Glimpses of Daily Life presents unofficial North Korea. It shows how people live their daily lives against the backdrop of totalitarian ideology - lives of a bizarre otherworldliness within the 21st century. This selection of photographs, made by DPRK watchers over the past decade, not only has a documentary value; the lines and colours of architecture, landscape and the calligraphy of the ubiquitous slogans and announcements are often strangely aesthetic. An important and disturbing book. Photographs by Martin Tutsch, Eric Lafforgue, Raymond K. Cunningham Jr. and others. International distribution by Idea Books (except UK & Eire: John Rule Art Books).

The press: The eminent scholar Andrei Lankov reviewed the book for NK News (27th of July); his conclusion: ?The North Koreans? can be seen as a remarkable breakthrough. I would describe it as the best visual representation of North Korea?s daily life, available not only in English, but in any language, including Korean ? a truly unique and valuable book indeed.?‎
