ISBN: 1311056688
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
A remote island nation perishes in fire and storm, leaving a few survivors lost on the shores of a strange land. One man is snatched from the jaws of death by an angry and curious dragon; he finds unexpected new friends. The people from his homeland are scattered, confused, and far from united — and when faced with imminent destruction, they can only be saved by a dragon who must forgive an ancient wrong. A Journey of Dragons is set in the land of Syraqua, where dragons rule and humanity is nearly extinct, where dwarves delve into dark secrets of the past, and intelligent reptiles seek a forbidden knowledge. Human civilization has risen and fallen twice before; it now rises again, facing challenges from both within and without.

The acclaimed novelist’s award-winning memoir of growing up in a remote Chinese fishing village is “a rich and insightful coming-of-age story” (Kirkus). The acclaimed author of A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers and I Am China, Xiaolu Guo grew up an unwanted child in a poor fishing village on the East China Sea.

In Nine Continents, Guo tells the story of a curious mind coming of age in an inhospitable country, and her determination to seek a life beyond the limits of its borders. From her family’s village to a rapidly changing Beijing, to a life beyond China, Nine Continents presents a fascinating portrait of how the Cultural Revolution shaped families, and how the country’s economic ambitions have given rise to great change. This “moving and often exhilarating” memoir confirms Xiaolu Guo as one of world literature’s most urgent voices (Financial Times, UK).
