Kirwan Ward

Willow Pattern Walkabout (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Unexpectedly in 1958, an irreverent British journalist and Australian cartoonist duo were granted visas to visit Communist China at its most closed and inscrutable. Emerging from the writings of Kirwan Ward and the drawings of Paul Rigby is a picture of China at a key moment in its history-still feeding off the exhilaration of the creation of "e;People's China"e; in 1949 and full of optimism and blind idealism. A rich collection of insights and observations tinged with skepticism and good humor, this record offers a western perspective of China during Mao Tse-tung's leadership.
