Informationen zum Autor Gao Xingjian (‘gow shing-jen’) is the first Chinese recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Born in 1940 in Jiangxi province in eastern China, he earned a degree in French in Beijing, and embarked on a life of letters. Choosing exile in 1987, he settled in Paris, where he completed ‘Soul Mountain’ two years later. In 1992 he was named a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. He is a playwright and painter as well as a fiction writer and critic. Mabel Lee is Honorary Associate Professor of Chinese at the University of Sydney, and an authhority on twentieth-century Chinese history and literature. Klappentext The new novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author of international bestseller 'Soul Mountain'. 'Unforgettable. "One Man's Bible" burns with a powerfully individualistic fire of intelligence and depth of feeling.' New York Times Moving between the nightmare of the Cultural Revolution and the tentative, limited liberties of the China of the 1990s, 'One Man's Bible' weaves memories of a Beijing boyhood and amorous encounters in Hong Kong with a fictionalized account of Gao Xingjian's life under the communist regime - where a single sentence spoken ten years earlier can make one an enemy of the state. A fluid, elegant exploration of memory, This novel is a profound meditation on the essence of writing and exile, on the effects of political oppression on the human spirit - and on how that spirit can triumph. Zusammenfassung The new novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author of international bestseller ‘Soul Mountain’. ‘Unforgettable. “One Man’s Bible” burns with a powerfully individualistic fire of intelligence and depth of feeling.’ New York Times
