DAVIES GLORIA
Lu Xun's Revolution: Writing In A Time Of Violence
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Widely recognized as modern China's preeminent man of letters Lu Xun 1881-1936 is revered as the voice of a nation's conscience a writer comparable to Shakespeare and Tolstoy in stature and influence. Gloria Davies's portrait now gives readers a better sense of this influential author by situating the man Mao Zedong hailed as "the sage of modern China" in his turbulent time and place. In Davies's vivid rendering we encounter a writer passionately engaged with the heady arguments and intrigues of a country on the eve of revolution. She traces political tensions in Lu Xun's works which reflect the larger conflict in modern Chinese thought between egalitarian and authoritarian impulses. During the last phase of Lu Xun's career the so-called "years on the left" we see how fiercely he defended a literature in which the people would speak for themselves and we come to understand why Lu Xun continues to inspire the debates shaping China today. Although Lu Xun was never a Communist his legacy was fully enlisted to support the Party in the decades following his death. Far from the apologist of political violence portrayed by Maoist interpreters however Lu Xun emerges here as an energetic opponent of despotism a humanist for whom empathy not ideological zeal was the key to achieving revolutionary ends. Limned with precision and insight Lu Xun's Revolution is a major contribution to the ongoing reappraisal of this foundational figure. Gloria Davies is a literary scholar and historian of China at Monash University in Australia. She is also Adjunct Director of the Australian Centre on China in the World at the Australian National University.

She deals frankly and comprehensively with Lu Xun's most prominent critics and notes how he handled them with intensity and agility. She has much to say as well about his theories of writing�how he decried political rhetoric despised romantic fiction and saw the moral ambiguity of revolutionary writing. She also reproduces his list of eight tips for aspiring writers."�Kirkus Reviews "As the recognized founder of modern Chinese literature and arguably the central intellectual figure in China and much of East Asia throughout the twentieth century and even up to the present day the influence of Lu Xun is difficult to overestimate and so it logically follows is the significance of this book. Gloria Davies has taken a tripartite approach: she assesses Lu Xun from a literary linguistic and intellectual angle and does so with elegant precision. No one has treated Lu Xun as an essayist�particularly in the last ten years of his life�as well and as sensitively as Davies has here."�Jon Eugene von Kowallis author of The Lyrical Lu Xun "There is a wealth of insights in Lu Xun's Revolution and I applaud Gloria Davies for such thorough and conscientious efforts in plowing through all the sources of the later Lu Xun. Davies has not only carefully gone through all the controversies on the leftist literary front in Lu Xun's time; she has brought the relevance of Lu Xun's essays to the present world. I have always lamented the fact that many Lu Xun scholars including myself do not do full justice to the later Lu Xun. Now the record is being set straight."�Leo Ou-Fan Lee author of The Voices of Iron House: A Study of Lu Xun Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2013 hardcover

Davies John Paton
China Hand: An Autobiography
8vo, hardcover dj .At the height of the McCarthyite hysteria of the 1950s,john Paton Davies,jr., was summoned to the State Department one morning and fired. His offense? The career diplomat had counseled the U.S. government during World War II that the Communist forces in China were poised to take over the country~ which they did, in 1949. Davies joined the thousands of others who became the victims of a political maelstrom that engulfed the country and deprived the United States of the wisdom and guidance of an entire generation of East Asian diplomats and scholars. The son of American missionaries, Davies was born in China at the turn of the twentieth century. Educated in the United States, he joined the ranks of the newly formed Foreign Service in the 1930s and returned to China, where he would remain until nearly the end of World War II. During that time he became one of the first Americans to meet and talk with the young revolutionary known as Mao Zedong. He documented the personal excesses and political foibles of Chinese Nationalist leader Chiang Kai~shek. As a political aide to General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, the wartime commander of the Allied forces in East and South Asia, he traveled widely in the region, meeting with colonial India's Nehru and Gandhi to gauge whether their animosity to British rule would translate into support for Japan. Davies ended the war serving in Moscow with George F. Kennan, the architect of America's policy toward the Soviet Union. Kennan found in Davies a lifelong friend and colleague. Neither, however, was immune to the virulent anticommunism of the immediate postwar years. China Hand is the story of a man who captured with wry and judicious insight the times in which he lived, both as observer and as actor. John Paton Davies,Jr. (1908~99) was a Foreign Service officer in the U.S. Department of State from 1931 to 1954. He was also the author of Foreign and Other Affairs and Dragon by the Tail: American, British,Japanese, and Russian Encounters with China and One Another

DE BARY WM. THEODORE & LUFRANO RICHARD COMPILERS
Sources Of Chinese Tradition: Volume 2: From 1600 Through The Twentieth Century
Columbia University Press New York: 2000. Softcover. Brand new book. For four decades Sources of Chinese Tradition has served to introduce Western readers to Chinese civilization as it has been seen through basic writings and historical documents of the Chinese themselves. Now in its second edition revised and extended through Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin-era China this classic volume remains unrivaled for its wide selection of source readings on history society and thought in the world's largest nation. Award-winning China scholar Wm. Theodore de Bary�who edited the first edition in 1960�and his coeditor Richard Lufrano have revised and updated the second volume of Sources to reflect the interactions of ideas institutions and historical events from the seventeenth century up to the present day. Beginning with Qing civilization and continuing to contemporary times volume II brings together key source texts from more than three centuries of Chinese history with opening essays by noted China authorities providing context for readers not familiar with the period in question. Here are just a few of the topics covered in this second volume of Sources of Chinese Tradition: � Early Sino-Western contacts in the seventeenth century; � Four centuries of Chinese reflections on differences between Eastern and Western civilizations; � Nineteenth- and twentieth-century reform movements with treatises on women's rights modern science and literary reform; � Controversies over the place of Confucianism in modern Chinese society; � The nationalist revolution�including readings from Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek; � The communist revolution�with central writings by Mao Zedong; � Works from contemporary China�featuring political essays from Deng Xiaoping and dissidents including Wei Jingsheng. With more than two hundred selections in lucid readable translation by today's most renowned experts on Chinese language and civilization Sources of Chinese Tradition will continue to be recognized as the standard for source readings on Chinese civilization an indispensable learning tool for scholars and students of Asian civilizations. Wm. Theodore de Bary is John Mitchell Mason Professor Emeritus and Provost Emeritus at Columbia University and Director of the Heyman Center for the Humanities. He has written extensively on Confucianism in East Asia and is coeditor of the first edition of Sources of Chinese Tradition as well as Sources of Japanese Tradition and Sources of Korean Tradition. Richard Lufrano is assistant professor of Chinese history at the College of Staten Island and the author of Honorable Merchants: Commerce and Self-Cultivation in Late Imperial China.
