The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China
ISBN: 9780822323082 / Angielski / Twarda / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Chinese ideogram chi is far richer in connotation than the equivalent English verb to eat.

In China such fundamental acts as eating or refusing to eat can carry enormous symbolic weight. This book examines the twentieth-century Chinese political experience as it is represented in literature through hunger, cooking, eating,...
