Synopsis

Baba ("daddy" in Chinese) is Joseph Yang, born in Manchuria in 1928. His daughter, Belle, a writer and artist who was born in Taiwan but whose "spiritual address in much in the West", set out in 1986 to paint and to write - and thereby preserve for posterity - Baba's memories of his coming-of-age in China in the 1930s and 1940s. The result is this book, an illustrated odyssey of the fourth of seven children in the House of Yang, a prominent Manchurian family, who experienced the Japanese occupation of northern China. Through his life Baba is informed and influenced by characters both human and spiritual: the benevolent goddess Guanyin, the mystical Scholar Wang and the vague and ominously prophetic Ma Po Po.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Baba ("papa" in Chinese) recounts the colorful childhood tales of Yang's father, who grew up at a time of great political and social upheaval in China. Behind the protective walls of the House of Yang, Baba is immersed in a world of the legends and colorful characters of village life. Yang's beautiful watercolors accompany each story and create "an astonishing personal vision" (Kirkus Reviews, pointer). Preface by Amy Tan; illustrations.
