Böcker av Yu Hua

From the acclaimed author of Brothers and China in Ten Words: here is Yu Hua's unflinching portrait of life under Chairman Mao. A cart-pusher in a silk mill, Xu Sanguan augments his meager salary with regular visits to the local blood chief. His visits become lethally frequent as he struggles to provide for his wife and three sons at the height of the Cultural Revolution. Shattered to discover that his favorite son was actually born of a liaison between his wife and a neighbor, he suffers his greatest indignity, while his wife is publicly scorned as a prostitute. Although the poverty and betrayals of Mao's regime have drained him, Xu Sanguan ultimately finds strength in the blood ties of his family. With rare emotional intensity, grippingly raw descriptions of place and time, and clear-eyed compassion, Yu Hua gives us a stunning tapestry of human life in the grave particulars of one man's days.

From the author of Brothers and China in Ten Words: this celebrated contemporary classic of Chinese literature was also adapted for film by Zhang Yimou. This searing novel, originally banned in China but later named one of that nation’s most influential books, portrays one man’s transformation from the spoiled son of a landlord to a kindhearted peasant. After squandering his family’s fortune in gambling dens and brothels, the young, deeply penitent Fugui settles down to do the honest work of a farmer. Forced by the Nationalist Army to leave behind his family, he witnesses the horrors and privations of the Civil War, only to return years later to face a string of hardships brought on by the ravages of the Cultural Revolution. Left with an ox as the companion of his final years, Fugui stands as a model of gritty authenticity, buoyed by his appreciation for life in this narrative of humbling power.

Efter att ha slösat bort sin familjs förmögenhet på spelhålor och bordeller, bosätter sig den unga, djupt ångerfulla Fugui för att utföra det ärliga arbetet som bonde. Tvingad av Nationalistarmén att lämna sin familj bakom sig bevittnar han skräcken och prövningarna i inbördeskriget, bara för att återvända år senare och möta en rad svårigheter som uppstått på grund av rädslan under Kulturrevolutionen. Kvar med en oxe som följeslagare under sina sista år, står Fugui som en modell av uthållighet och äkthet, upplyft av sin uppskattning för livet - rent liv - i denna oförglömliga berättelse om ödmjukande kraft.
