A Westerner's visit into North Korea, told in the form of a graphic novel. Famously referred to as one of the "Axis of Evil" countries, North Korea remains one of the most secretive and mysterious nations in the world today. In early 2001 cartoonist Guy Delisle became one of the few Westerners to be allowed access to the fortresslike country. While living in the nation's capital for two months on a work visa for a French film animation company, Delisle observed what he was allowed to see of the culture and lives of the few North Koreans he encountered; his findings form the basis of this remarkable graphic novel. "Pyongyang "is an informative, personal, and accessible look at a dangerous and enigmatic country.

Un poco de corea de norte desde un tio capitalista y privilegiado

No rating

A pesar de que lo he leido porque me podía la curiosidad de saber cómo es Corea del Norte por la perspectiva de una persona occidental. La obra (autobiográfica) me ha parecido narrada desde la condescendencia y el privilegio de un canadiense capitalista que no solo le incomoda el sistema de manera poco empática y desde su privilegio de libertad y de ser extranjero en un país como este. Solamente merece la pena, filtrando la soberbia del protagonista, como se muestra corea y el dibujo fiel de como se traslada la idea de corea del norte. Lo demás son situaciones de este necio en otra cultura que piensa que por traer el libro de 1984 se puede mantener en una situación de superioridad.
