Hardback. Zustand: Good. Upon its initial publication, Life and Death in Shanghai, Nien Cheng's searing memoir of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, was an instant international best seller. This phenomenal, unforgettable book captured the attention of the world just as Communism started to collapse, and is considered a twentieth-century classic, both for Cheng's incisive writing and the light it throws on totalitarian history. In August 1966, a group of Red Guards ransacked Nien Cheng's home. Her background made her an obvious target. Educated at the London School of Economics, the widow of an official of Chiang Kai-shek's regime, and an employee of Shell Oil, Cheng enjoyed comforts that few Chinese could afford. When she refused to confess that she was an enemy of the state, she was imprisoned and placed in solitary confinement, where she remained for more than six years. Life and Death in Shanghai is the powerful story of Cheng's imprisonment, of the deprivation she endured, of her heroic resistance, and of her quest for justice when she was released. An astounding portrait of one woman's courage, Life and Death in Shanghai is also a penetrating account of a terrifying chapter in twentieth-century history. …

Zustand: Fair. : En agosto de 1966, un grupo de Guardias Rojos allanó la casa de Nien Cheng. Su origen la convirtió en un objetivo obvio para los fanáticos de la Revolución Cultural: educada en Londres, viuda de un funcionario del régimen de Chiang Kai-shek y empleada de Shell Oil, Nien Cheng disfrutaba de comodidades que pocos de sus compatriotas podían permitirse. Cuando se negó a confesar que nada de esto la convertía en enemiga del estado, fue recluida en régimen de aislamiento, donde permanecería durante más de seis años. 'Vida y muerte en Shanghái' es la poderosa historia del encarcelamiento de Nien Cheng, de las privaciones que sufrió, de su heroica resistencia y de su búsqueda de justicia cuando fue liberada. Es la historia, también, de un país destrozado por la salvaje lucha por el poder que Mao Tse-tung lanzó en su campaña para derrocar a los moderados del partido. Un relato personal incisivo y poco común de un capítulo aterrador de la historia del siglo XX, 'Vida y muerte en Shanghái' es también un asombroso retrato del coraje de una mujer.
