I’m a hopeless romantic so I’d read the Path of Great Love

This is really intriguing. I had no idea what this post was referencing, so I tried looking up the titles of these books to find information. From searching, I figured out that they're books published in DPRK.

So I started searching to see if there were any available books from the DPRK (revolutionary or not) in the US. I can't find anything, only books ABOUT the DPRK.

Is there somewhere to find books that are from DPRK available worldwide, or are they at all attainable? I love to read and think it would be valuable insight.

Wasnt made in NK but the author collected this work from visiting it and is in regular contact with the artists + has tried to showcase there work outside of NK.

Awesome, thank you!

I'm hoping, honestly, for some revolutionary stuff I would love to hear from a Korean revolutionary, or Korean revolutionary thought.

Do you know why it is that this stuff is essentially unavailable? Has NK forbade literature from leaving the country, or is this an issue in the US/Western countries?

The Immortal Revolutionary Traditions sounds like it goes hard.

But The Path of Great Love would definitely be the one I'd also pick up first.
