Welcome to Pyongyang! Kim Jong -un and the new life of the most closed country in the world

The writer Travis Jeppsen was unusually lucky: he became the first American in the history of the DPRK, who was allowed to study at Pyongyang University. For several years and five trips to North Korea, he watched how the life of the most closed country in the era of the young leader, Kim Jong -un, is changing rapidly.
The disputed image of Pyongyang as an ostentatious capital, where everything is arranged for foreigners, as well as rumors that North Koreans are robots with washed brains, Jeppsen introduces readers with many real characters - from ministers engaged in smuggling of Western products to young people People in love with American pop culture.
Personal observations, conversations with the inhabitants of the DPRK and refugees, the study of archival materials allowed Jeppen to go beyond the scope of magazine cliches and show North Korea in all its contradiction and complexity.
"Welcome to Pyongyang" is an unusual book: this is not a political science analysis, but a documentary romance. So no one wrote about North Korea
