Text is bright and free of marks or underlining. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Photographs and text document disappearing cultural landscapes and lifestyles in rural China, capturing poignant scenes far from Beijing or Shanghai.Just a few kilometers from the glittering skylines of Shanghai and Beijing, we encounter a vast countryside, an often forgotten and seemingly limitless landscape stretching far beyond the outskirts of the cities. Following traces of old trade routes, once-flourishing marketplaces, abandoned country estates, decrepit model villages, and the sites of mystic rituals, the authors of this book spent seven years exploring, photographing, and observing the vast interior of China, where the majority of Chinese people live in ways virtually unchanged for centuries. China's Vanishing Worlds is an impressive documentation in images and text of modernization's effect on traditional ways of life, and a sympathetic portrait of lives burdened by hardship but blessed by simplicity and tranquility. The scars of China's recent history and the decay of centuries-old traditions are made visible in this volume, but so is the lure and promise of technology and another life for young people. In the next twenty years, an estimated 280 million Chinese villagers will become city dwellers, leaving their ancestral homes in search of urban jobs and opportunities. In striking and evocative color photographs, we see picturesque villages set against a background of rolling hills, planned centuries ago according to the principles of feng shui; a restaurant with bright pink resin chairs and a wide-screen television; traditional buildings preserved by the accident of poverty and isolation; ramshackle rooms decorated with portraits of Chairman Mao; backpack-wearing children walking to school; festivals with elaborately costumed performers; old men playing cards; buyers and sellers at open-air markets. China's Vanishing Worlds offers readers a rare opportunity to glimpse China as it once was, and as it will soon no longer be. .…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Wer China verstehen will, muss mehr kennen als die Ostküste und die großen Metropolen, muss vordringen in die Peripherie. Matthias Messmer, der als Korrespondent der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung 10 Jahre in China lebte, und seine Kollegin Hsin-Mei Chuang haben sich deshalb auf eine ungewöhnliche Reise an die Ränder dieses riesigen Landes begeben: an die Grenzen zu Nordkorea und Russland, zur Mongolei, zu Indien, Nepal und Bhutan, zu den zentralasiatischen Ländern an der Seidenstraße, zu Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos und zu Staaten im Südchinesischen Meer. Sie haben mit Menschen gesprochen, Erinnerungsorte besucht, geschichtliche Hintergründe aufgearbeitet und nicht zuletzt Stimmungen mit der Kamera eingefangen. Entstanden ist ein einzigartiges Bild Chinas abseits der großen Metropolen, das eine ganz neue Sicht auf dieses so vielseitige wie schwer fassbare Land ermöglicht. Ein ungewöhnliches, atmosphärisches Reisebuch und zugleich eine unbestechliche politisch-historische Analyse.…

Condizione: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leicht bestoßen/slightly bumped. An Empire's Rise Beyond its Borders. "Matthias Messmer and Hsin-Mei Chuang have written a book that is as enthralling as it is important. Most books about the rise of China tend to focus on the major cities of the eastern coast. Messmer and Chuang invite the reader to explore all of China's borderlands--not only her complex coastline and the contested waters between her and her maritime neighbors, but also her land border. From the geopolitical hotspot that is the Korean frontier, along the Russian-Chinese faultline, through Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet, the reader is treated to a marvelous combination of history, travel writing and gripping photography. Most of this was terra incognita to me. China at its Limits takes you there. It is more than just a book; it is an exploration of forgotten places. When they are suddenly in the news, as some of them surely will be soon, you will be thankful that you read it" (Niall Ferguson, Stanford University). Für den Aufstieg Chinas zur Supermacht scheint es keine Grenzen zu geben. Doch der Ehrgeiz des Riesenreichs wird an seinen Landesgrenzen auf den Prüfstein gelegt. Hier überschattet der Glanz des Aufstiegs die Ruinen sagenumwobener Pracht und Phantome fortwährender Spannungen. Autobahnen werden über einstigen Schlachtfeldern und verfallenen Tempeln gebaut, um das Land mit der Welt zu verbinden. In diesem Buch werden durch Brüche und Umwälzungen geprägte Schicksale und Landschaften zum Leben erweckt. Bewegende Bilder offenbaren Stimmungen und Empfindlichkeiten an Chinas Peripherie, in der die neue Weltordnung ihre Keime bildet. 416 Seiten mit 346 Farb- und 58 s/w-Abb., gebunden (Kerber Verlag 2018).
