From within the world's most repressive dictatorship, from a country shrouded in absolute isolation, Inside the Secret. In April 2012, José Luís Peixoto was a privileged spectator at the exuberant celebrations of the centenary of Kim Il-sung's birth in Pyongyang, North Korea. Also on that occasion, he participated in the most extensive and lengthy trip the North Korean government had authorized in recent years, visiting all the symbolic landmarks of the country and the regime, but also some cities and places that had not received foreign visitors in over sixty years. José Luís Peixoto's surprising debut in travel writing takes us through an unprecedented and fascinating look at the daily life of the world's most closed society. Filled with memorable episodes, with a personal tone that transcends its own genre, Inside the Secret is a narrative about the other that, at the same time, inevitably reveals much about ourselves.
