This collection of Chinese short novels features two works by one of China's most prolific writers. The Messenger's Letter is a poetic novella that defies categorization. Taking its inspiration from the surreal imagery of writers such as Franz Kafka, the story describes the Messenger's epic attempt to deliver his letter in the strange and sinister Whispering City, where he encounters the mysterious six-fingered people. The author explores the twin themes of trust and doubt with dark humor and conviction. The story reveals itself as an intricate puzzle with no easy answers and is a sustained meditation on the absurdities of existence. The Messenger's Letter has won widespread acclaim for its bold and unconventional style. Remembering the Lady of Qin is the story of a young boy growing up in a matriarchal family in Shanghai. The boy's mother and grandmother offer the emotional security he craves as a child, but it is a chance meeting with a headstrong and attractive family friend that starts the young man on a passionate and turbulent journey. The story is a coming of age drama, where the boy's intellectual longing to write and develop as an artist is spurred on by a mysterious and seductive woman, who is at once so close, and yet always unfathomable and unattainable.

Chu Teh, one of the legendary figures of the Chinese Revolution, was born in 1886. He was commander in chief of the People's Revolutionary Army, and this is the story of the first sixty years of his life. As a supreme commanding general, he was probably unique; surely there has never been another commander in chief who, during his years of service, spun, wove, set type, grew and cooked his own food, wrote poetry and lectured not only to his troops on military strategy and tactics but to women's classes on how to preserve vegetables. Evans Carlson wrote that "Chu Teh has the kindness of a Robert E. Lee, the tenacity of a Grant, and the humility of a Lincoln." More than a biography, this work by a great American woman journalist, who took the account from Chu Teh himself, is a social and historical document of the highest value.

Tracing the global history of the Sassoon family, entrepreneurs and patrons of remarkable art and architecture, from Baghdad to Mumbai, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and London The Sassoons were prosperous as bankers and treasurers to the Ottoman sultans in nineteenth-century Baghdad, until they were driven out by religious persecution and economic pressures. Assuming the precarious status of stateless Jews, the family dispersed, establishing businesses in Mumbai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and London. Their wealth enabled them to collect splendid works of art from the various cultures that welcomed them. This volume tells the sweeping global story of the Sassoon family through the works of art they collected. Lavishly illustrated with paintings, porcelain, manuscripts, Judaica, and architecture, it foregrounds family members who were patrons of art and sponsors of remarkable buildings, highlighting the role of the family's accomplished women. Rachel Sassoon was editor of both the Times and the Observer newspapers in London at the turn of the twentieth century. The renowned war poet Siegfried Sassoon was a cousin. Victor Sassoon hosted the glitterati of the 1920s and 1930s at his Cathay Hotel in Shanghai. This fascinating and elegant book--with gilt edges and a ribbon bookmark--features a family tree and explores generations of Sassoons for whom art was not only a mark of their arrival in the rarefied world of the upper class but a pleasure in itself.
