Han shaogong (45 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. One of the most-talked about works of fiction to emerge from China in recent years, this novel about an urban youth displaced to a small village in rural China during the Cultural Revolution is a fictionalized portrait of the author's own experience as a young man. Han Shaogong was one of millions of students relocated from cities and towns to live and work alongside peasant farmers in an effort to create a classless society. Translated into English for the first time, Han's novel is an exciting experiment in form--structured as a dictionary of the Maqiao dialect--through which he seeks to understand and translate the local life and customs of his strange new home. Han encounters an upside-down world among the people of Maqiao: a con man dupes his neighbors into thinking that he has found the fountain of youth by convincing them that his father is in fact his son; to be scientific is to be lazy; time and relationships are understood using the language of food and its preparation; and to die young is considered sweet, while the aged reckon their lives to be cheap. As entries build one upon another, Han meditates on the ability of a waidi ren (outsider) to represent the ways of life of another community. In this light, the Communist effort to control the language and history of a people whose words and past are bound together in ineluctably local ways emerges as an often comical, sometimes tragic exercise in miscommunication.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 398 pages. Text tannedThe multi-award winning novel by one of China's greatest living writers.A Dic tionary of Maqiao (pronounced ma-chow) is the story of a young man sent to work the land in a small village in rural China during the Cultural Revolution (1966- 76). He encounters an upside-down world among the people of Maqiao, a primitive, superstitious society where words have opposite meanings and no action is what it seems: a conman dupes his neighbours into thinking that he has found the foun tain of youth by convincing them that his father is in fact his son; men are kno wn as 'savages' to be 'scientific' is to be lazy; time and relationships are und erstood using the language of food and its preparation; and to die young is cons idered 'sweet', while the aged reckon their lives to be 'cheap'.Each entry is a tiny, connected story, and as they build one upon another, the narrator meditate s on the ability of a waidi ren (outsider) to understand or represent the ways o f life of another community. What you're ultimately left with is an unforgettabl e, often hilarious, often tragic portrait of life in Maqiao during the Cultural Revolution, and a profound meditation on the power of language.…
