Description	Reminiscences: With the Century is the autobiography of Kim Il-sung, founder and president of North Korea. The memoirs, written in 1992 and published in eight volumes, retell Kim's life story through his childhood to the time of Korean resistance. Initially, a total of 30 volumes were planned but Kim Il-sung died in 1994 after just six volumes; the seventh and eight volumes were published posthumously. The work reveals early influences of religious and literary ideas on Kim's thinking. An important part of North Korean literature, With the Century is held as a valuable if somewhat unreliable insight into the nation's modern history under late Japanese colonial rule. The book is considered one of a few North Korean primary sources widely available in the West and as notable research material for North Korean studies.Authorship of With the Century is disputed with claims that it was written by professional writers instead of Kim Il-sung himself.
