Hardback. Zustand: Good. By December 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army had advanced into the heartland of China and reached toward their inevitable climax: Nanjing, China's capital and glorious ancient city nestled at the base of the Purple Mountain, was besieged. The government had fled, leaving several hundred thousand civilians and soldiers behind, among them a twelve-year-old girl. To face the unthinkable. An unprecedented historical novel, When the Purple Mountain Burns presents a riveting, profoundly intimate portrait of Nanjing and its people during the first six days after its fall to the Japanese army. Within the city walls are men and women, young and old, soldiers and civilians, Chinese and a dozen foreigners, all caught up in the whirling, turbulent fires of history. The story, inspired by real historical events and people, probes deeply into the souls of victims and perpetrators of war atrocities, and hails its unassuming heroes and heroines. It is a powerful allegory against the folly of war and the horrors of genocide. This is a new edition of the novel When the Purple Mountain Burns published by the Long River Press, Berkeley, CA (2005). Two Chinese editions (one in simplified Chinese and one in classic Chinese) were published in Shanghai and Hong Kong respectively in 2005. A screenplay Qi wrote based on the novel has been optioned for production.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Go on, say T'ree tins of turpentine , you bogtrotter was one of many jeers towards Irish families settling in Leicester in the 1950s, and is the inspiration behind the title of Tim O'Sullivan's debut book.In 2008, after realising he was the family storyteller at Christmas gatherings, weddings and wakes, O'Sullivan picked up a dictaphone and began verbally recording his memories. Originally a passion project destined to be read by the wider O'Sullivan family, Tim was inspired by his son, Ryan, to publish his memoir.While this book has a personal pull for present and future descendants of the O'Sullivan family looking to learn about their ancestors, this memoir has a definite wide appeal.O'Sullivan's anecdotal accounts give harrowing and humorous insights into life as a marginalised child in the 1950s. Born to a dirt-poor Irish mother, O'Sullivan weaves rich tales of living in extreme poverty on the unforgiving pre-fab Mowmacre Hill council estate. This book will strike a chord with baby boomers and entertain any reader looking for first-hand nostalgic recollections of post-war, poverty-stricken Britain.From narrowly avoiding sexual abuse at a children's home, becoming a teenage father and enduring two prison sentences, O'Sullivan's life is a rich jigsaw of highs, lows and laughs. He recounts his mother's struggles at single parenting while avoiding destitution and the shock return of his biological father after being estranged for 17 years. O'Sullivan's brotherly bonds are brought to life with stories of John - the brother O'Sullivan didn't know he had for the first few years of his life and the tragic addiction-fuelled unravelling of his sister, Mary. O'Sullivan's determination to rewrite his childhood narrative resulted in a rock-solid marriage to his wife, Pam, unshakeable devotion to his children, and numerous business ventures that accrued great wealth.T'ree Tins of Turpentine encourages you as a reader to think about your own stories and how they will be passed down to your future generations. O'Sullivan's work is an inspirational reminder that no matter how hard you experience childhood suffering, with faith, love, hard work and a lot of laughter, it is possible to overcome adversity.…
