The Chinese Whiskers (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Chinese Whiskers is a modern fable and a window to the rhythm and texture of life in the hutong neighbourhoods of imperial Beijing. Interweaving real episodes in recent Chinese history such as the Olympic Games, SARS virus and tainted pet-food scandals with a richly imagined world, this heartwarming story of cats and humans will make you laugh and tear up, and think again about the universal battle between the corruption of modern living and the ideals of traditional life.
