Book Synopsis The Eye of Jade by : Diane Wei Liang
Download or read book The Eye of Jade written by Diane Wei Liang and published by Pan Australia. This book was released on 2008 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mei Wang is a modern, independent Chinese woman. She runs her own business in Beijing, working as a private investigator; she owns a car; she even has that most modern of commodities, a male secretary.One day, "Uncle" Chen asks her to find the Eye of Jade, a priceless Han dynasty artefact taken from its museum during the years of the Cultural Revolution when Red Guards swarmed the streets, destroying many remnants of the past. Mei's investigations reveal a story that has far more to do with the past, and her own family history, than she could ever have expected. She must delve into that brutal part of China's history, Mao's labour camps and the countless deaths for which no one was ever held responsible. It exposes the agonising choices made during the Revolution, to kill or be killed, to love or to live.The Eye of Jade is a fascinating glimpse of city life in modern China. Liang captures vividly Beijing's bustle and noise, from seedy gambling dens and cheap noodle bars, to the splendour of the Forbidden City. With a rich cast of characters spanning immigrant workers and government officials, she examines the sometimes uneasy relationship between China's brutal communist past under Mao and its increasingly capitalist present.

Book excerpt: In this World Fantasy Award-winning novel of magic and kungfu, four siblings battle rival clans for honor and power in an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. *Named one of TIME's Top 100 Fantasy Books Of All Time * World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, winner Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. It has been mined, traded, stolen, and killed for -- and for centuries, honorable Green Bone warriors like the Kaul family have used it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island from foreign invasion. Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation. When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone -- even foreigners -- wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones -- and of Kekon itself.
