Paperback. Condition: Very Good. China is a country on the move, and Route 312 - China's Route 66 - is the artery along which 150 million Chinese are daily travelling in search of work and a better life. Running 3,000 miles from the east-coast boomtown of Shanghai to the border of Kazakhstan in the northwest, crossing many ethnic and provincial boundaries, it is the transcontinental road that Rob Gifford has always wanted to travel. 'As I prepare to set off on my journey along Route 312, there's one big question that I want to answer. Which is it going to be for China, greatness or implosion? Can the country really become the twenty-first-century superpower that many predict? Or could it all collapse, like the Soviet Union, weighed down by the legacies of the past and the contradictions of the present? And if it does go on to greatness, what kind of country will China be? Can it ever make the transition to a modern, democratic state?' Part personal pilgrimage, part reportage, Gifford's book cuts right through the middle of the turmoil. Sometimes poignant, often funny but always engaging, the author's quest to get to the heart of the new China and his ability to talk to everyone across the social spectrum - from truckers and prostitutes to yuppies and travelling salesmen - makes China Road an outstanding travel narrative. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Is is as solid and powerful as it looks from the outside ? And who are the ordinary Chinese people, to whom the twenty-first century is supposed to belong ?.".

8°, kartonierte Ausgabe. Condition: Gut. 521 Seiten, farbige Fotos, illustrierter Einband, Schnitt altersbedingt leicht nachgedunkelt, sonst wie ungelesen, Readers Digest Reihe: Im Spiegel der Zeit. Erlebtes, Erfahrenes, Erforschtes. Kurzfassungen (allerdings genial gekürzt?) der Romane. Im Alter von 19 Jahren wird die Tunesierin Esma Abdelhamid an einen Landsmann zwangsverheiratet, der sie mit nach Deutschland nimmt. 12 Jahre lebt sie in Hamburg völlig isoliert von der Außenwelt. Sie bekommt drei Kinder und wird von ihrem Mann regelmäßig mißhandelt. Erst nachdem er die Kinder nach Tunesien entführt, findet Esma endlich den Mut und die Kraft, ihn zu verlassen. Sie lernt Deutsch, sucht sich eine Arbeit und führt einen langwierigen, unermüdlichen Kampf um das Sorgerecht für ihre Kinder - wie eine Löwenmutter.Am 31. Juli 1944 verschwindet der Schriftsteller und Pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Autor des weltberühmten Buchs "Der kleine Prinz", während eines Aufklärungsfluges über Südfrankreich. Mehr als 50 Jahre später löst der Zufallsfund eines silbernen Armbands im Meer vor Marseille eine neue Spurensuche aus. Die spannenden Entdeckungen von Unterwasserarchäologen, bei denen ein Flugzeugwrack, ein Motor und ein verschollener Prinz eine bedeutende Rolle spielen, führen zu einem unerwarteten Bekenntnis, das den Schleier über dem Geheimnis lüftet. /Zum Ende seiner Korrespondententätigkeit in Peking macht sich der Journalist Rob Gifford ein besonderes Abschiedsgeschenk: Zwei Monate lang bereist er die Route 312, eine zentrale Verkehrsader, die ihn 5000 km von der Metropole Shanghai im Osten bis nach Kasachstan im Nordwesten führt. Es wird eine faszinierende Reise durch ein Riesenreich der Widersprüche zwischen Aufbruchstimmung und Bevölkerungsproblemen, gigantischen Wirtschaftsprojekten und allgegenwärtiger Korruption, Altkommunisten und Orientierung nach Westen. /Seit über 20 Jahren verbringt Ute Braun den Sommer auf einer Schweizer Alp, hütet Rinder und lebt im Einklang mit der natur. Das ist nicht immer leicht. Dennoch empfindet sie die einfache Lebensweise und die harte Arbeit als große Wohltat für die Seele. Anschaulich berichtet sie von ihren kleinen und großen Abenteuern - vom Baden unterm Sternenhimmel, vom Käsemachen, von kranken Kühen, vermßten Ziegen uind vorwitzigen Hasen, von unheimlichen Gästen und unerwarteten Helfern und von der Liebe.

Condition: new. Pages: 352 Language: Ukrainian. Today, China is a country of globalization, efficient economy and consumer boom. But this is only the tip of the iceberg, behind which is hidden the truth that can be seen outside the modernized cities. In this amazing book, Rob Gifford tells how he covered a distance of more than 3,000 kilometers on Route 312 from Shanghai to the border with Kazakhstan, talking to impoverished peasants , drivers and even Tibetan monks. It illuminates contemporary Chinese life in all its contradictions. The book contains real stories of ordinary Chinese, analyzing which the author asks himself and each of us the question: is China really the next world superpower? What will happen to its cultural traditions? And finally, who are the average Chinese of the 21st century? 9789669428493.
