Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In his luminous new novel, the author of Waiting deepens his portrait of Chinese society while exploring the perennial conflicts between convention and individualism, integrity and pragmatism, loyalty and betrayal. Professor Yang, a respected teacher of literature at a provincial university, has had a stroke, and his student Jian Wan - who is also engaged to Yang's daughter - has been assigned to care for him. What initially seems a simple if burdensome duty becomes more problematic when the professor begins to rave: pleading with invisible tormentors, denouncing his family, his colleagues, and a system in which a scholar is 'just a piece of meat on a cutting board.' Are these just manifestations of illness, or is Yang spewing up the truth? In a China convulsed by the Tiananmen uprising, those who listen to the truth are as much at risk as those who speak it. At once nuanced and fierce, earthy and humane, The Crazed is further evidence of Ha Jin's prodigious narrative gifts.…

Zustand: Very Good. : En 'The Crazed', Ha Jin profundiza en su retrato de la sociedad china mientras explora los conflictos perennes entre la convención y el individualismo, la integridad y el pragmatismo, la lealtad y la traición. El profesor Yang, un respetado profesor de literatura en una universidad provincial, ha sufrido un derrame cerebral, y su alumno Jian Wan, que también está comprometido con la hija de Yang, ha sido asignado para cuidarlo. Lo que inicialmente parece un deber simple, aunque oneroso, se vuelve más problemático cuando el profesor comienza a delirar: rogando a atormentadores invisibles, denunciando a su familia, a sus colegas y a la sociedad china. ¿Son estas solo manifestaciones de la enfermedad, o Yang está escupiendo la verdad? En una China convulsionada por el levantamiento de Tiananmen, aquellos que escuchan la verdad corren tanto riesgo como aquellos que la dicen. A la vez matizado y feroz, terrenal y humano, 'The Crazed' es una prueba más de los prodigiosos dones narrativos de Ha Jin.
