Tweaking the Nose of the Russians
From the preeminent writer of Taiwanese nativist fiction and the leading translator of Chinese literature come these poignant accounts of everyday life in rural and small-town Taiwan. Huang is frequently cited as one of the most original and gifted storytellers in the Chinese language, and these selections reveal his genius. In "The Two Sign Painters," TV reporters ambush two young workers from the country taking a break atop a twenty-four-story building. "His Son's Big Doll" introduces the tortured soul inside a walking advertisement, and in "Xiaoqi's Cap" a dissatisfied pressure-cooker salesman is fascinated by a young schoolgirl. Huang's characters—generally the uneducated and disadvantaged who must cope with assaults on their traditionalism, hostility from their urban brethren and, of course, the debilitating effects of poverty—come to life in all their human uniqueness, free from idealization.

The Mythistorical Chinese Scholar-Rebel-Advisor Li Yan
Roger Des Forges here examines the puzzle of Li Yan, a Chinese scholar who advised the rebel Li Zicheng (1605-1645), and helped him to overthrow the Ming, only to die at his hands. For more than three centuries, Li Yan’s identity and even existence were seriously questioned. Then, in 2004, there was discovered a genealogical manuscript which includes a Li Yan (1606-1644). He now appears to be the principal historical reality behind the Li Yan story, which became a powerful metaphor for the rise and fall of Li Zicheng’s rebellion. Offering a fresh theory of Chinese and world history, the author elucidates Li Yan’s historical significance by comparing and contrasting him with similar figures in other times and places around the globe.
Faszination: So macht Merken Spass
Dieses Buch ist die zweite Fortsetzung zum Grundbuch "So macht Merken Spass". Im Grundbuch ging es darum, zu lernen, dass man sich abstrakte Dinge super merken kann, wenn man sie mit konkreten Dingen verbindet. Eine Zahl, ein Vorname sind abstrakte Dinge. Wenn man diese an konkretes anbindet, und insbesondere daraus Geschichten macht, dann kann man sich ganz viele Zahlen oder Vornamen merken - Pi auf 1000 Stellen zum Beispiel, viele Telefonnummern, die Vornamen von Kindern an der neuen Schule oder die Nachnamen von neuen Lehrern. Und das Beste daran: Das geht ohne Einschränkungen in kurzer Zeit und macht Spass. Um es einfacher zu machen, haben wir in diesem Buch erstmals für die wichtigsten 1000 Vornamen deren Bedeutung und mögliche Merkworte erarbeitet. Das Wissen wird auch an Managerseminaren verkauft, nur viel teurer, und ohne diese Listen. Dies ist das Buch für junge Bühnenzauberer, für Alltagszauberer und Schlaumeier, die Spass daran haben, ihr Hirn so zu verwenden, dass sie das Maximum herausholen.
