There is a light indentation line to the front panel, otherwise no creases, chips or tears. The dustwrapper is clean and unmarked, with hardly any of the usual fading to the spine. ***223mm x 145mm. 234 pages. ***Contents: Introduction, Waves, In the Ruins, The Homecoming Stranger, Melody, Moon on the Manuscript, Intersection, 13 Happiness Street, Note on Sources. ***'Bei Dao -- "north island" -- is the pen name of Zhao Shenkai, considered by many to be the finest poet in China. "Waves", Bei Dao's first major work of fiction, is a haunting, lyrical study of disillusion and despair among China's "lost generation" -- written during the last stages of the Cultural Revolution. Bei Dao is one of the most gifted and influential of the new generation of Chinese writers. The stories in "Waves" offer a candid and vivid portrait of love and life in contemporary China. "Waves" will strengthen his growing reputation in the West.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first impression of the true first edition in English of Be Dao's first published book of stories, in near fine condition. An uncommon book. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
