Rickshaw Boy
Book (italiano):
<blockquote> <p> A beautiful new translation of beloved Chinese author Lao She's masterpiece of social realism, about the misadventures of a poor Beijing rickshaw driver </p> </blockquote> <p> First published in China in 1937, <i>Rickshaw Boy</i> is the story of Xiangzi, an honest and serious country boy who works as a rickshaw puller in Beijing. A man of simple needs whose greatest ambition is to one day own his own rickshaw, Xiangzi is nonetheless thwarted, time and again, in his attempts to improve his lot in life. </p> <p> One of the most important and popular works of twentieth-century Chinese literature, <i>Rickshaw Boy</i> is an unflinchingly honest, darkly comic look at a life on the margins of society and a searing indictment of the philosophy of individualism. </p>
