Jonathan Spence's eleven books on Chinese history include The Gate of Heavenly Peace and The Death of Woman Wang. He teaches at Yale University. His awards include a Guggenheim and a MacArthur Fellowship.
The sixth book in the bestselling Penguin Lives -- Penguin Lives pairs celebrated writers with famous Great writers on great figures individuals who have shaped our thinking.
The complex persona of Chairman Mao--remembered with hate, awe, and even reverence--calls for what the Boston Globe has termed "[Jonathan] Spence's engaging blend of history, literature, and biography."
Drawing from his expertise in Chinese politics and culture, Spence penetrates Mao's rhetoric and infamous self-will to distill an intimate portrait of a man as withdrawn and mysterious as the emperors he disdained. Spence superbly illuminates Mao, a leader who, at a watershed moment in history, turned the classic Chinese concept of reform through reversal into an endless adventure in upheaval. Mao examines a chilling enigma for historians, students of human nature, and Americans fascinated more than ever by China.
Praise for Penguin Lives:
"Both entertaining and literary" --The New Yorker
"They bear testimony to the fact that bio-graphical narratives can aspire to art rather than to history." --The New York Times Book Review

评分The book is so short, and the portrait was so neutral that I can't help but want to learn more about Mao. It also makes me think whether if Mao just represent what Chinese wants?
