Description

An unprecedented historical novel, Purple Mountain presents a riveting, profoundly intimate portrait of Nanjing and its people during the first six days after its fall to the Japanese army in 1937. Three editions of the novel, one English and two Chinese, were published in 2005. A screenplay Qi wrote based on the novel has been optioned for production. This English Chinese bilingual edition is newly prepared for those who feel morally and intellectually compelled to revisit the ancient city of Nanjing during the reign of terror, where, within its walls, men and women, young and old, soldiers and civilians, Chinese and a dozen foreigners, are all caught up in the turbulent fires of history, where their very souls are being tested. Among them, Ning-ning, a twelve-year-old girl. A native of Nanjing, China, Shouhua Qi is Professor of English at Western Connecticut State University and the author of more than a dozen books.
