OPEN A BOOK,OPEN THE WORLD
In Order To Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park 朴研美
「這輩子我最感激兩件事，一是我出生在北韓，一是我逃出了北韓。」
⊙ 金正恩追殺名單之一、北韓人權活動家朴研美首次完整道出她最悲傷，卻也最鼓舞人心的回憶
⊙ 書中收錄朴研美歷經波折找回的真實家庭照片
上學途中看見屍體躺在路邊、肚子餓到只能吃野生植物果腹、鄰居莫名其妙「消失」……這些都是朴研美從小到大習以為常的事。她相信「敬愛的領袖」可以看穿她的心，甚至因為她心裡有「壞念頭」而懲罰她。
直到十三歲那年，飢荒加上父親入獄，迫使研美一家冒著生命危險，橫越結冰的鴨綠江，從北韓逃到中國，沒想到卻轉而落入人口販子手中。經過兩年生不如死的掙扎求生，研美與母親再次冒著生命危險踏上逃亡的道路，她們在漆黑的寒夜橫越戈壁沙漠，一切只為活下去，只為觸碰自由的空氣。
儘管直到今日，朴研美依舊為自己的祖國感到自豪，更是驅逐她心中黑暗的光芒，但也不可否認，北韓還有數百萬朝鮮人民仍在苦難中。朴研美決定勇敢回憶、闡述這段驚心動魄的往事，期望能有更多人關注北韓人民至今所承受的種種壓迫。書中以幽默、不失尊嚴的態度，展現其不屈不撓的韌性，更凸顯了自由的得來不易與珍貴。
_______________________
The first collection of essays by the Nobel laureate.
Derek Walcott has been publishing essays in The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, and elsewhere for more than twenty years. What the Twilight Says collects these pieces to form a volume of remarkable elegance, concision, and brilliance. It includes Walcott's moving and insightful examinations of the paradoxes of Caribbean culture, his Nobel lecture, and his reckoning of the work and significance of such poets as Robert Lowell, Joseph Brodsky, Robert Frost, Les Murray, and Ted Hughes, and of prose writers such as V. S. Naipaul and Patrick Chamoiseau. On every subject he takes up, Walcott the essayist brings to bear the lyric power and syncretic intelligence that have made him one of the major poetic voices of our time.
