Metà coreano e metà giapponese, Masaji Ishikawa è il protagonista di un'incredibile storia vera. Quando la sua famiglia si trasferì dal Giappone alla Corea del Nord aveva solo tredici anni. Nessuno poteva immaginare l'incubo che li attendeva. Suo padre, coreano di nascita, decise di tornare al paese natale sedotto dalla propaganda che prometteva abbondanza di lavoro, un'educazione di alto livello per i figli e uno status privilegiato. Ma, una volta arrivati, fu chiaro che la realtà era molto diversa. In un racconto che abbraccia tutta la sua vita, Ishikawa ripercorre le tappe di trentasei brutali anni sotto lo spietato regime totalitario nordcoreano, tra miseria assoluta, fame e repressione, fino al giorno della sua fuga in Giappone, nel 1996. Una fuga rocambolesca che lo costrinse ad abbandonare la moglie e i figli, con la speranza di riuscire, una volta arrivato, a fare qualcosa per loro. Una speranza che tutt'oggi non si è mai realizzata. Un libro che non è solo il racconto scioccante della vita di tutti i giorni in Nord Corea, ma anche un'importante testimonianza della dignità e dello spirito indomabile dell'uomo che lotta per la propria libertà.
