Frog
Author: Mo Yan
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698182669
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES TOP BOOK OF 2015 WASHINGTON POST NOTABLE BOOK The author of Red Sorghum and China’s most revered and controversial novelist returns with his first major publication since winning the Nobel Prize In 2012, the Nobel committee confirmed Mo Yan’s position as one of the greatest and most important writers of our time. In his much-anticipated new novel, Mo Yan chronicles the sweeping history of modern China through the lens of the nation’s controversial one-child policy. Frog opens with a playwright nicknamed Tadpole who plans to write about his aunt. In her youth, Gugu—the beautiful daughter of a famous doctor and staunch Communist—is revered for her skill as a midwife. But when her lover defects, Gugu’s own loyalty to the Party is questioned. She decides to prove her allegiance by strictly enforcing the one-child policy, keeping tabs on the number of children in the village, and performing abortions on women as many as eight months pregnant. In sharply personal prose, Mo Yan depicts a world of desperate families, illegal surrogates, forced abortions, and the guilt of those who must enforce the policy. At once illuminating and devastating, it shines a light into the heart of communist China.

ISBN: 9780989869508
Category : Frogs
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Frogs are adorable creatures that are very much like us (they have almost as many bones, and eat, sleep, reproduce and play) and deserve, like every living being, compassionate care and respect. This children's picture book has 18 color reproductions of original oil paintings. The 18 other pages tell the semi-fictional but plausible story having to do with an idea by Martin Fass and written and illustrated by Margot Fass. Froggy Family's First Frolic (see facebook.com/frogbooks/) describes a night in the life of a Red Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis Callidryas) family. The new parents Fern and Reid take their offspring on their first outing, and the biggest adventure that follows involves Paddy. Paddy will be the hero of our next book, Froggy's Dream.
