Hanoi - City of the Rising Dragon

Informationen zum Autor Georges Boudarel, a French historian, lived in Indochina before the departure of the French, gaining firsthand experience of the Vietnamese resistance and their eventual liberation. Nguyen Van Ky is a Vietnamese scholar who specializes in contemporary life in Vietnam. Klappentext For many Westerners, Hanoi evokes memories only of war and bitter loss. But Hanoi is much more than the capital of Vietnamese communism. Hanoi is today a thriving urban center with a rich history all its own. Georges Boudarel and Nguyen Van Ky paint a vivid portrait of a city that is now awakening to the modern era. Together they reveal Hanoi in its myriad facets, from the aromas of its traditional cuisine to its destruction in wartime to the modern era of motorcycles and movie theaters. First ancient seat of the royal house, then centre of the French colonial empire in Indochina, and finally the birthplace of Vietnamese independence, Hanoi is today a thriving urban centre. This is a vivid portrait of a city that is now awakening to the modern era.
