Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

From China's foremost literary satirist (Financial Times) comes a captivating new novel set at a religious training center in Beijing, focusing on the unlikely love story of a Buddhist nun and a Daoist priestAt the Religious Training Center on the campus of Beijing's National Politics University, disciples of China's five main religions--Buddhism, Daoism, Protestantism, Catholicism, and Islam--gather for a year of intensive study and training.

Gu Mingzheng, meanwhile, has his own mission at the institute, centering on his search for his unknown father.
