Seller's Description:
1983. Secker & Warburg. First. VG/VG. 9.5x6. 789pp. 16 pages of colour photos by Richard Gordon. Maps by Anita Karl/Jim Kemp. Based on firsthand observation in areas of China not normally accessible to Westerners, the author shows us China both in depth and on a person-to-person scale. Returning to Long-Bow the Chinese village he had lived in during the critical post-revolutionary years, we eavesdrop on reminiscences of a veteran of China's war with Japan; the hopelessness of a young married couple after the Soviet pullout; the befuddlement of a people whose language, put into service exclusively for the revolution, becomes eroded as concepts are embezzled. He also shows us the landscape in such a way that we are not tourists.
