A young woman hears the tale of a sacred text, written in an ancient language and inscribed on silk cloth many centuries ago. Puyi, the last emperor and owner of the relic, allegedly tore the silk in pieces with his teeth and threw it from a plane when he was taken by the Japanese to Manchuria. A search for this lost text and its poignant, devastatingly simple message begins...
This is a beguiling tale of fables, stories within stories, a young man's desperate search for his father's legacy and a young woman's search for the man she loved. Covering almost a century of China's history, this haunting novel combines mystery, harsh reality and tenderness with astonishing insight.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Es ist mehr als das Band einer großen Liebe, das in Peking das Schicksal einer französischen Sinologie-Studentin mit dem eines chinesischen Gemüsehändlers verknüpft. Beide sind sie auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Hälfte einer uralten Schriftrolle, eines seidenen Sutras, das die geheimnisvollen Anfänge des Buddhismus in seinen fremdartig kalligrafierten Zeichen birgt. In einem Anfall von Wahnsinn soll einst Kaiser Pu Yi, der letzte Kaiser von China, das kostbare Relikt mit den Zähnen zerrissen haben. Und so begeben sich die zwei - fasziniert vom Zauber der Sprache und ihrer Macht - auf eine entbehrungsreiche Reise, die sie weit voneinander entfernen und weit zurück in die eindrucksvolle Geschichte der chinesischen Kultur führen wird.
