Gweilo: Memories Of A Hong Kong Childhood

Shadowed by the unhappiness of his warring parents, a broad-minded mother who, like her son, was keen to embrace all things Chinese, and a bigoted father who was enraged by his family's interest in 'going native', Martin Booth's compelling memoir is a journey into Chinese culture and an extinct colonial way of life.

Umbrit de nefericirea parintilor sai in razboi, o mama cu minte lata care, la fel ca fiul ei, a fost dornica sa imbratiseze toate lucrurile chinezesti si un tata fanatic care a fost infuriat de interesul familiei sale de a deveni nativ, memoriile convingatoare ale lui Martin Booth sunt o calatorie in cultura chineza si un mod de viata colonial disparut.
