For decades, anthropologist Hill Gates had waited for an opportunity to get to know the citizens of China as she had done in Taiwan face to face, over an extended period of time.

That visit was the first of many she would make there on a remarkable double adventure: to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese women and to complete a difficult passage in her own life. Looking for Chengdu is her memoir of these trips. By turns analytic, witty, and bittersweet, Gates's observations on contemporary China are enlivened by a...

ISBN: 9780316067515 / Angielski / Miękka / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Heat-Moon, wrote one reader, was a travel writer as Faulkner was a country historian. Road to Quoz is Heat-Moon's long-awaited return to America's back roads. It is a lyrical, funny, and magisterially told chronicle of American passage, a journey into the heart of a nation...
