Zhou Enlai
A Financial Times Best Book of the Year<BR><BR>The definitive biography of Zhou Enlai, the first premier and preeminent diplomat of the People's Republic of China, who protected his country against the excesses of his boss-Chairman Mao.<BR><BR>Zhou Enlai spent twenty-seven years as premier of the People's Republic of China and ten as its foreign minister.

He never saw a glistening Shanghai skyline or the emergence of Chinese capitalism. But the Chinese influence now felt in every corner of the globe rests on Zhou's work.

Der rote Kaiser
Xi Jinping herrscht über 1,4 Milliarden Menschen und die zweitgrößte Volkswirtschaft der Welt. Dennoch ist überraschend wenig über ihn bekannt. Der erfahrene Auslandskorrespondent Michael Sheridan hat alles zusammengetragen, was er in 20 Jahren aus Insiderberichten und eigenen Reportagen über den chinesischen Staatspräsidenten recherchieren konnte, und zeichnet das bislang wohl detaillierteste Bild des starken Mannes in Peking und seines Werdegangs.Als Sohn einer der einflussreichsten Familien des kommunistischen China wurde der junge Xi während der Kulturrevolution aufs Land verbannt. List, Privilegien und Intrigen bahnten ihm den Weg zurück an die Spitze. Nach dem spektakulären Sturz seines Rivalen Bo Xilai wurde Xi Jinping 2012 zum Staatschef Chinas.In dieser Zeit entwickelt sich China vom armen, isolierten Land der Jugend Xis zur militärischen und wirtschaftlichen Supermacht von heute. In Xis neuem China kämpfen Familienmafias inmitten von Mord, Korruption und Sexskandalen um die Macht, während Minister und Generäle in Säuberungsaktionen verschwinden. Xi ist ein absoluter Herrscher, dessen Wort Gesetz ist, von Krieg und Frieden bis hin zum rücksichtslosen Kampf gegen Covid-19. Er strebt danach, den Welthandel zu dominieren, die westliche Demokratie zu besiegen und China als größte Macht im Osten zu etablieren. Michael Sheridan enthüllt, dass sich hinter der Fassade der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas eine moderne Dynastie und ein neuer Kaiser verbergen.

The Party's Interests Come First
China's leader, Xi Jinping, is one of the most powerful individuals in the world—and one of the least understood. Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913–2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao's death. He led the Party's United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party's crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping's father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP—and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it.

Fly, Wild Swans
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERTHE LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL TO WILD SWANS, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING SENSATIONA Book of the Year in The Times, Daily Telegraph and Financial Times'A must-read ... magnificent'DAILY TELEGRAPH *****'Beautiful and moving'ELIF SHAFAK, OBSERVERJung Chang's Wild Swans was a book that defined a generation, an epic personal history of Jung, her mother and grandmother - 'three daughters of China'. The book opens in 1909 with her grandmother's birth - and foot-binding - when China was under the last emperor, moving through Mao Zedong's rule, especially the Cultural Revolution during which Jung's parents were subjected to horrendous ordeals because of their courage. It finishes in 1978 when Deng Xiaoping officially ended the Mao era and started the 'reforms'. Jung, at that propitious juncture, became one of the first Chinese to leave Communist China for the West.Nearly half a century on, China has risen from a decrepit and isolated state to a global power, the challenger to the United States' dominant position in the world. Through those decades, Jung's life has been intimately entwined with her native land. Her experiences dealing with the regime in those years were rich and revealing - especially so because all her books were (and are) banned.Fly, Wild Swans is the follow-up to Wild Swans and brings the story of Jung's family - along with that of China - up to date. The book is in many ways Jung's love letter to her mother. It is inevitably also about her grandmother and father, both of whom died tragically in the Cultural Revolution but are often recalled in this book. In fact, the past is never far away in Jung's subsequent life. It has shaped her, and moulded the present China, and what's more, it promises to herald the future.China is now at another watershed moment with the era of Chairman Xi Jinping greatly affecting the lives of Jung and her mother. Fly, Wild Swans is Jung's heartfelt response to that experience, and a book filled with drama, love, curiosity and incredible history - both personal and global. Ultimately uplifting, told in Jung's clear, honest and compelling voice, it is memoir writing at its best.'Profoundly revealing as a portrait both of a family and of the deeper traumas that lie at the heart of modern China' RORY STEWART'Another wonder book from Jung Chang...I am quite blown away by it' LADY ANTONIA FRASER

Jahrhundert in den rund 17 Meter hohen Sandsteinfelsen errichteten. 1935 entflammte in dem Maler und Kunsthistoriker Chang Shuhong, der damals in Paris lebte, die Liebe zu diesen Höhlentempeln, die ihn sein Leben lang - er starb 1994 - nie wieder loslassen sollte.

He was the architect of the country's administrative apparatus and its relationship to the world, as well as its legendary spymaster. Richard Nixon proclaimed him "the greatest statesman of our era." Yet Zhou has always been overshadowed by Chairman Mao. Chen Jian brings Zhou into the light, offering a nuanced portrait of his complex life as a revolutionary, a master diplomat, and a man with his own vision and aspirations who did much to make China, as well as the larger world, what it is today.<BR><BR>Born to a declining mandarin family in 1898, Zhou received a classical education and as a teenager spent time in Japan. As a young man, driven by the desire for China's development, Zhou embraced the communist revolution as a vehicle of China's salvation. He helped Mao govern through a series of transformations, including the disastrous Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. Yet, as Chen shows, Zhou was never a committed Maoist. His extraordinary political and bureaucratic skill, combined with his centrist approaches, enabled him to mitigate the enormous damage caused by Mao's radicalism.<BR><BR>When Zhou died in 1976, the PRC that we know of was not yet visible on the horizon; he never saw glistening twenty-first-century Shanghai or the broader emergence of Chinese capitalism.
