北韓政權的長命對許多專業北韓觀察家來說是個謎。一九九○年代，北韓即將崩潰幾乎成為無可爭議的共識。然而一反眾人預期，北韓撐過了金日成、金正日之死，直至二○一六年金正恩掌權，仍持續以核子武器與飛彈來威脅真實或想像的敵人。據韓國國際廣播電台報導，北韓如今面臨三十年來最嚴重的糧食短缺。上個世紀九○年代中期的那場饑荒估計有六十萬到兩百萬人死亡。儘管北韓政府藉防堵疫情強化邊境崗哨之下，外界所知有限，但可以確信的是，這個封閉的國家依舊是兩千六百萬人民的牢籠。英國圖書獎評委：描寫朝鮮生活最好的一部作品！《我們最幸福：北韓人民的真實生活》＝極權主義文獻開創之作＝它讓我們有機會一窺這個逐漸具有全球重要性的封閉國度。這個封閉的國家，其實就是喬治‧歐威爾《1984》的現實版★特別收錄作者芭芭拉‧德米克最新長篇後記〈完美的獨裁〉★英國非文學寫作標竿獎項「貝利吉福德獎」25週年特別紀念獎決選作品 ...
