520    "In May 2018, former Monty Python stalwart and intrepid 
       globetrotter Michael Palin spent two weeks in the 
       notoriously secretive Democratic People's Republic of 
       Korea, a cut-off land without internet or phone signal, 
       where the countryside has barely moved beyond a centuries-
       old peasant economy but where the cities have gleaming 
       skyscrapers and luxurious underground train stations. His 
       resulting documentary was widely acclaimed. Now he shares 
       his day-by-day diary of his visit, in which he describes 
       not only what he saw--and his fleeting views of what the 
       authorities didn't want him to see--but recounts the 
       conversations he had with the country's inhabitants, talks
       candidly about his encounters with officialdom, and 
       records his musings about a land wholly unlike any other 
       he has ever visited--one that inspires fascination and 
       fear in equal measure. Written with Palin's trademark 
       warmth and wit, and illustrated with beautiful colour 
       photographs throughout, the journal offers a rare insight 
       into the North Korea behind the headlines."--|cProvided by
