A propos de cet article

First UK Edition Translated from orig French 1stedn by Mervyn Savill. 8vo.ex lib binding aqua cloth, EX Phila Free LIB, clean and tight. ow VG/ndj: 420pp, index, bibl, Map, 16 Photo plates. Travels through China in the early 1950's by a Frenchman. dj blurb: "China today occupies the centre of the world's political stage as Russia did nearly forty years ago. But what do we really know of the China of today? In his book Into China Claude Roy gives us far and away the most intelligent and readable and certainly the only witty account that has yet been presented of this new China. A prominent figure in the post-war French literary world, a poet and critic well on the left, Roy has also lived in England and lectured at an American University: his understanding of and sympathy for contemporary China gains in universality from his personal identification with the main stream of Western culture. Claude Roy was accepted without reserve by the Chinese authorities and given every facility for travel and research, and he reveals the daily life, the bewildering stages of the revolutionary upheavals of the years 1925 to '49, the wealth of the poetry of China and of its theatre. He has a great sense of fun and possesses the "observer's eye"-a flair for selecting the sights and sounds that will most vividly convey a living picture of things seen and heard: a statistical fact; a snatch of conversation with a Chinese philosopher, soldier, poet, film star, peasant; an illustrative quotation from the Classics or from Chinese poetry; a description of a street scene or an evening at the theatre; a Buddhist temple inhabited by a land-reform team; or the "formal ballet" of a Chinese railway journey. Out of thousands of such points an expressive picture is built up of a country and a people; of the past, present and future of six hundred million Chinese-a quarter of humanity!".…
