About this ebook:
Karanlıkta Bir Nehir, dünyanın en acımasız totaliter rejimlerinden Kuzey Kore’yi ve ondan kaçmaya çalışan bir adamın gerçek hikâyesini ilk ağızdan anlatıyor. Yarı Koreli yarı Japon Masaji Ishikawa, hayatının önemli bir kısmını, aitlik hissinden yoksun ülkesiz biri gibi hissederek yaşamak zorunda kaldı. Bu duygu, o henüz on üç yaşındayken ailesinin Japonya'dan Kuzey Kore'ye taşınması ve bir anda en düşük sosyal kastın içine düşmesiyle derinleşti. İş imkânları, çocuklarının eğitimi ve toplumda daha yüksek bir statü vaatlerine aldanan Ishikawa’nın Kore vatandaşı babası, bu yeni komünist ülkenin cazibesine kapıldı. Ancak önlerine konulan hayatın gerçekliği bu ütopyaların hepsinden uzaktı. Ishikawa anılarında; çocukluktan yetişkinliğe uzanan fırtınalı hayatını, baskıcı bir rejim altında geçirdiği acımasız altı yılı ve Kuzey Kore'den kaçışı sonrasında Japonya'ya dönüş zorluklarını bütün samimiyetiyle anlatıyor. Karanlıkta Bir Nehir, sadece sınırların içindeki tüyler ürpertici bir yaşam manzarası değil, aynı zamanda insan haysiyetinin ve inatçı doğasının da güçlü bir kanıtıdır. Bitirmek için can atacağınız, yürek parçalayan bir hikâye… Karanlıkta Bir Nehir, Kuzey Kore yönetiminin, halkın en yoksul kesimine layık gördüğü ve her gün tekrarlanan zalimliğini gözler önüne seriyor. – Blaine Harden (New York Times'ın çok satanlar listesindeki Escape from Camp 14 ve King of Spies: The Dark Reign of America’s Spymaster in Korea kitaplarının yazarı.)Kuzey Kore’deki yaşamın ürkütücü gerçek hikâyesi… Bir ülkenin kendi vatandaşlarını nasıl tamamen hor gördüğü, basit bir düz yazıyla anlatılıyor. —Kirkus ReviewsBu, acı verici derecedeki dürüst anılarıyla Ishikawa, artık tarikata dönüşmüş denebilecek gaddar bir devletin, halkını korkunç şartlar altında yaşatmasını oldukça çarpıcı bir dille anlatıyor. Büsbütün umutsuzluk içinde olsa dahi, ızdırap dolu hikâyesini güçlü aile sevgisi ve alaycı mizahla zenginleştiriyor. —BooklistBay Ishikawa’nın Kuzey Kore’deki sefaleti tarif etmesi kanımızı donduruyor. Ordaki hayatın her yönüne hâkim olan yozlaşma ve baskıyı bize hızlı tempoda, içimizi acıtacak bir dille aktarıyor.” —Wall Street JournalMasaji Ishikawa, Koreli bir babanın oğlu olarak Japonya’da dünyaya gelmesine karşın daha küçük bir çocuken, sözde cennet ülke Kuzey Kore’ye gönderildi. Hayat hikâyesi ve başından geçen dehşet verici anıları şimdiden bir klasik olarak sunulmalı. —South China Morning Post- Amazon listelerinde en çok okunan ve en çok satılan kitap.- Goodreads 2018, En İyi Anı Adayı.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. The author orchestrated a breathtaking finale. Truly a work of art. I am now a lifelong fan of this author.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. It possessed moments of brilliance, but the narrative felt slightly disjointed ultimately. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.

Not entirely to my refined tastes. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Perfectly average.

A highly sophisticated read. The protagonist was compelling, though some subplots felt slightly overshadowed. A solid 4 stars from me.

A decent, if standard, experience. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Perfectly average.
