‎The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Maos Global Order of Tripolarity‎

‎8vo, br. x-235pp.Cold War; the role of the Korean War in isolating China; ping-pong diplomacy with the United States to counteract the Soviet threat. The historical novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which two weaker sovereign powers (Shu and Wu) collude to defend themselves against the dominance of another power (Wei), is here identified as a particular inspiration for Mao in building a Sino-Soviet alliance in opposition to the powerful United States. This classical Chinese text provided Mao with a framework for understanding the complexity of global politics, establishing a balance with the two superpowers, and gaining diplomatic autonomy in China?s development.‎

‎Kopernikus in der verbotenen Stadt : wie der Jesuit Johannes Schreck das Wissen der Ketzer nach China brachte. Rainer K. Langner‎

‎Frankfurt, M. : S. Fischer 2007. 311 S. : Ill. ; 21 cm, mit Schutzumschlag Originalverschweißt, Top Zustand, Pp., gebundene Ausgabe, Hardcover/Pappeinband‎

‎Ein Schüler Galileis war er gewesen, gemeinsam hatten sie den Himmel durchmustert. Und jetzt, 1629, berechnet Johannes Schreck, der eigentlich in China missionieren sollte, exakt eine Sonnenfinsternis und wird daraufhin vom Kaiser von China beauftragt, den chinesischen Kalender zu reformieren. Elf Monate später ist er tot. Musste er sterben, weil er Ideen ausplauderte, die in Rom von der Inquisition verfolgt wurden? Schreck hatte den Jesuitenorden gleichsam als Exil gewählt, um den Scheiterhaufen Europas zu entkommen. Nun war er in China, im Gepäck hatte er Galileis Fernrohr und ein neues Weltverständnis, das kopernikanische Weltbild. Farbig, anschaulich und kenntnisreich schildert Rainer-K. Langner eine friedliche Kollision von westlicher und östlicher Kultur. Und er erzählt ein faszinierendes Kapitel abendländischer Wissenschaftsgeschichte am Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts.

‎Lanxin Xiang‎

‎Mao's Generals: Chen Yi and the New Fourth Army‎

‎8vo, hardcover.pp.xi-226. Mao s Generals reevaluates the military history of Mao Zedong s seizure of power in China using all original historical materials, confronting the history as recorded by the communist party-influenced historians. It disputes the total invincibility and brilliance of Mao in military affairs by restoring credit to the generals that made significant contributions to the communist victory.The focus falls mainly on a brilliant romantic poet named Chen Yi who founded the New Fourth Army with a group of brilliant young men and led peasant guerrillas to the victory that broke the Kuomintong s backbone. Despite his accomplishments, he could not deter his eventual demise at the hands of Mao. The author uses these incidents, plus the manipulation of the Anti-Japanese War to expose the actual nature of the communist revolution and policy in China under Mao.‎
