Life on the edge of the DMZ

"The author's quest, through narrative and photography, to capture today's built and natural environment and way of life along the Min Tong Line (Demilitarized Zone - DMZ) separating the two Koreas, is a literary and photographic achievement, as well as being a challenging reflection on the status quo and the politics that sustain it." "Supported by 150 colour photographs, the book by one of Korea's renowned photographers who is also a well-known peace activist, takes the reader from Chulwon in the east to Kosung in the west, interweaving philosophical considerations on a wide variety of political, social and moral issues, with observations about the places he visits, including their myths and legends. The sense of yearning for the reunification of his divided country pervades the text."--BOOK JACKET.
