Mut zur FreiheitYeonmi Park träumte nicht von der Freiheit, als sie im Alter von erst 13 Jahren an der Seite ihrer Mutter aus Nordkorea floh. Sie wusste nicht einmal, was Freiheit ist. Alles, was sie wusste war, dass sie um ihr Leben lief. Hunger, Krankheit oder gar Exekution drohten im Land. Yeonmi Park erzählt vom Kampf ums Überleben in einem der dunkelsten und repressivsten Regime unserer Zeit. Sie erzählt von ihrer Flucht aus der Hölle, von Schmugglern und Menschenhändlern in China und von einer wahren Odyssee nach Südkorea, wo sie endlich Freiheit findet. Die gebundene Ausgabe erschien unter dem Titel »Mut zur Freiheit«.

Und das ist erst der Beginn einer überwältigenden Odyssee zwischen Gut und Böse, zwischen Fantasie und Realität.
