North Korea Journal

Michael Palin's journal, illustrated with vibrant photographs, offers an engaging and insightful glimpse into North Korea through his personal experiences during a 2018 trip. Covering a wide range of sights—from modern monuments to traditional countryside—he shares reflections on the country's contrasts, its people, and the way life unfolds under an often misunderstood regime. Combining warmth, wit, and curiosity, the book provides a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective on one of the world's most secretive nations.
