Known only by his pen name, the poet and author 'Bandi' stands as one of the most distinctive and original dissident writers to emerge from the country, and his work is all the more striking for the fact that he continues to reside in North Korea, writing in secret, with his work smuggled out of the country by supporters and relatives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Red Years\u003c\/i\u003e represents the first collection of Bandi's poetry to be made available in English. As he did in his first work \u003ci\u003eThe Accusation\u003c\/i\u003e, Bandi here gives us a rare glimpse into everyday life and survival in North Korea. Singularly poignant and evocative, \u003ci\u003eThe Red Years\u003c\/i\u003e stands as a testament to the power of the human spirit to endure and resist even the most repressive of regimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786996602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Bandi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44916304707765,"sku":"9781786996602","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e189a01b-5754-456a-83b2-ed9d79101d2e.jpg?v=1734449868","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-red-years-forbidden-poems-from-inside-north-korea-9781786996602","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
