Su questo libro

L'autore:

Ma Jian is the author of Red Dust and The Noodle Maker. He lives in London.

Product Description:

When this book was published in Chinese in 1997, the government accused Ma Jian of "harming the fraternal solidarity of the national minorities," and a blanket ban was placed on his future work. With its publication in English, including a new Afterword by the author that sets the book in its personal and political context, readers get a rare glimpse of Tibet through Chinese eyes.
