A balanced portrait that situates Madame Chiang in an uneasy borderland between East and West. a well~researched, fluently written assessment of the life and impact of one of the twentieth century's iconic figures." ~PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Madame Chiang Kai~shek is the first biography of one of history's most intriguing and controversial political figures. Beautiful, brilliant, and captivating, the woman known as China's Eternal First Lady wielded unprecedented official and unofficial power during China's long and violent civil war. She passionately opposed Chinese Communism and influenced decades of American foreign policy. In a life that spanned the twentieth century ( 1898~2003), Madame Chiang bore witness to China's tempestuous evolution from the imperial Qing Dynasty through the Chinese Revolution, the Japanese invasion of World War II, the triumph of Chinese Communists on the mainland, and the end of colonialism in Hong Kong. Raised in one of China's most powerful families~the Soongs, subject of Sterling Seagrave's best~selling The Soong Dynasty~and educated at Wellesley College, Soong Mayling went on to become wife, chief adviser, interpreter, and propagandist to Nationalist leader Generalissimo Chiang Kai~shek. When the Communists broke with Chiang's Nationalist Party, Mayling and her sister, the widow of Sun Yat~sen, found themselves on opposing sides of a civil war. Mayling assisted her husband, serving briefly as head of the Chinese Air Force where she created the Flying Tigers, and lobbied the United States and other foreign governments extensively for support. During a tour of America in 1943, she became the first Asian, and only the second woman, to address the United States Congress. An international crusader who continued speaking out against Communism well into her nineties, she sparred with world leaders like Churchill and Roosevelt, and impressed Westerners and Chinese alike with her acumen, charm, and glamour. But she was also decried as a bottomless pit for Western aid, and despised in China for living in American style splendor while ordinary citizens suffered her husband's brutal oppression. Based on extensive interviews, years of research in the United States and abroad, with access to previously classified CIA and diplomatic files, Madame Chiang Kai~shek is a tour de force portrait of one of the most fascinating women of the twentieth century. As Booklist wrote in a starred review, "With . fluent insights into China's convulsive transformation, and a phenomenal gift for elucidating intricate politics and complicated psyches, Tyson Li brilliantly analyzes a fearless and profoundly conflicted woman of extraordinary force,".

Libro Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 324 pages. Published in 2006. The author's breakthrough second novel. One of the finest novels of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the British Edition and the 2010 Easton Press Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Kiran Desai's "The Inheritance of Loss". Her singular masterpiece. "Beautiful. Lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender" (Pankaj Mishra). "The best novel I've read about the immigrant life and the ongoing parallel world left behind. It's the best, sweetest, most delightful novel I've read in ages" (Francisco Goldman). "Briskly paced and sumptuously written, the novel ponders questions of nationhood, modernity, and class in ways both moving and revelatory" (The New Yorker Magazine). The novel is dedicated to Anita Desai, a world-renowned and iconic writer ("To my mother with so much love"), who clearly inspired Kiran, the youngest of Desai's four children, to follow in her mother's footsteps. For better or for worse, Kiran Desai's own novel will be difficult to surpass, a very tough act to follow. An absolute "must-have" title for Kiran Desai collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by Kiran Desai. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Souvenir Announcement of the event during which her signature was obtained. This title is a great book. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. This is the single most beautiful signed copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Booker Prize in 2006 and the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2007 for "The Inheritance of Loss". One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER KIRAN DESAI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0871139294. Signed by Author.
