Sobre este artículo
No dust jacket. Red fabric covered boards, faded over the spine. Black and gilt print on the spine. Minor wear. Owner's name inside the front cover. Deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Contains eight black and white photographs. This is the biography of three sisters who occupied important places in Chinese history, from WWII through the revolutionary years and on to the partition. The sisters are best known as Mesdames Chiang Kai-shek, Sun Yat-sen and Kung Hsiang-hsi. A rather rare book.
Sinopsis
In the early twentieth century, few women in China were to prove so important to the rise of Chinese nationalism and liberation from tradition as the extraordinary three Soong Sisters, Eling, Chingling and Mayling. As told with wit and verve by Emily Hahn, a remarkable woman in her own right, the biography of the Soong Sisters tells the story of China through both world wars. It also chronicles the changes to Shanghai as they relate to a very eccentric family that had the courage to speak out against the ruling regime. Greatly influencing the history of modern China, they interacted with their government and military to protect the lives of those who could not be heard, and they appealed to the West to support China during the Japanese invasion.
