About this title

Synopsis

Photographer Nicolas Righetti is one of the few Westerners invited to photograph Pyongyang�s �New Order of Happiness.� Righetti offers a riveting guided tour through this seductive yet chilling landscape; the paradoxes of an earthly paradise and the tragic outcome of an unattainable utopia present a dual message: �Welcome. Stay Away.� Essay by Orville Schell.
