"Daniel Tudor covers all the important issues, yet does not simply tell the more familiar stories, but looks deeper and wider to give the full story of Korea today." --Martin Uden, Former British Ambassador to South Korea

In just fifty years, South Korea has transformed itself from a failed state, ruined and partitioned by war and decades of colonial rule, into an economic powerhouse and a democracy that serves as a model for other countries.

How was it able to achieve this with no natural resources and a tradition of authoritarian rule? Who are the Koreans and how did they accomplish this second Asian miracle? Through a comprehensive exploration of Korean history, culture and society, and interviews with dozens of experts, celebrated journalist Daniel Tudor seeks answers to these and many other fascinating questions. In Korea: The Impossible Country, Tudor touches on topics as diverse as shamanism, clan-ism, the dilemma posed by North Korea, and the growing international appeal of South Korean pop culture.

This new edition has been updated with additional materials on recent events, including the impeachment of Park Geun-hye and the sinking of the Sewol Ferry. Although South Korea has long been overshadowed by Japan and China, Korea: The Impossible Country illuminates how this small country is one of the great success stories of the postwar period.

Gets make up off easily!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
The take off makeup really well! I cannot believe how much makeup it takes off. My Climate makeup last and this takes it off. I was using wiped and not doing extra cleaning. My face feels awful in the morning. Using these and cleanser and my face feel good when I wake up.

Best Makeup Remover!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
I’m in love with these cloths! I wear waterproof SPF moisturizer, foundation and mascara daily. Before discovering these cloths, removing my makeup was such a chore! Previously I had to use mineral oil to sufficiently break down the waterproof ingredients, wipe the messy oil off with a washcloth, and follow with my regular facial cleanser. Now, I only have to use 1-2 of these cloths to fully remove the products I use and follow with a cleanser! It’s so much simpler and less messy (the mineral oil would always stick around on my bathroom sink). Although these cloths cost more than the oil, they’re a time saver and I don’t put off/sleep with my makeup on anymore! They are very gentle on my skin and don’t leave any scent behind. Highly recommend these!

Excellent for sensitive skin/ allergies, best wipes I’ve ever tried!
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the best makeup removing wipes I’ve ever tried and that’s saying a lot. They are incredible for removing waterproof mascara and zinc sunscreens! For so long I avoided these products, but thanks to these makeup-removing wipes, I no longer have post-sunscreen breakouts and I can easily remove my eye makeup without pulling out any eyelashes. They’re very good for sensitive skin, too. Other makeup removing wipes (including those specifically formulated with natural ingredients for sensitive skin) caused me to have reactions. The Clinique wipes cause me no problems, stinging, or redness. With 50 wipes in a pack, they last a really long time. Really good product, total game-changer. My skin looks wonderful after using them.
