About this ebook:
A angustiante história verídica de um homem na Coreia do Norte e da sua subsequente fuga de um dos regimes totalitários mais brutais do mundo.Pelo facto de ser meio coreano, meio japonês, Masaji Ishikawa costumava sentir-se um apátrida. Esse sentimento agravou-se no momento em que a sua família se mudou do Japão para a Coreia do Norte quando ele tinha apenas treze anos. O seu pai, de nacionalidade coreana, foi atraído para o novo país comunista pelas promessas de trabalho abundante, de acesso à educação para os filhos e de uma melhor posição social. Mas a vida no apregoado “paraíso na terra” revelou-se tudo menos paradisíaca...No seu livro de memórias, Ishikawa relata em pormenor a sua educação tumultuosa e os trinta e seis anos terríveis que viveu sob um regime totalitário esmagador, bem como os desafios que enfrentou quando conseguiu o repatriamento para o Japão depois de ter escapado, a muito custo, da Coreia do Norte. "Um Rio na Escuridão" não é apenas um retrato chocante da vida no interior daquele país autocrático, mas é também um testemunho inspirador e valioso da dignidade e da natureza indomável do espírito humano.

An acceptable diversion. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Suitable if your reading queue is empty.
