Sobre este artículo
Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Allen Lane, [London]. 2008, first edition; large 8vo, 160 x 240mm; pp xlvii, 762, [763], eight full page maps and 54 mainly photographic plates, some in colour; extensive notes, bibliography, index and several explanatory appendixes; red cloth boards, pictorial dust wrapper, all in very good/near fine condition. ... ... ... ... An impressively detailed and comprehensive work by a specialist journalist covering the country's shift over 60 years from a traditional society to a modern economic powerhouse. That it necessarily stops shortly before the advent of Xi Jinping to power in no way detracts from the important information and interpretation it gives of China's recent history and growth. ... ... ... ... ... NOTE that as the book weighs some 1,360g it may require a carriage supplement on overseas orders.
Sinopsis
In 1850, China was the 'sick man of Asia.' Now it is set to become the most powerful nation on earth. The Penguin History of Modern China shows how turbulent that journey has been. For 150 years China has endured as victim of oppression, war, and famine. This makes its current position as arguably the most important global superpower all the more extraordinary. Jonathan Fenby's comprehensive account is the definitive guide to this remarkable transformation.
