Find The Crazed Picturized By Ha Jin Textbook

of

A new to me author, who's book has been sitting on my TBR way too long.

But today I finally finished it, Finally not because I dislike it, but because it's taken me so long to start,

Loved the book, The ramblings of professor Yang, the impact they have on the people that hear them, the actions that are a result of them.
. . All very interesting to read,

And amidst all the party and revolutionary talk it's the time of the uprising of the students, Tiananmen I found it surpising to learn about the growing of one individual, one person who took his truth out of his professor's words and deducted the reasons for other people's actions and made a decision.


Wholeheartedly recommended! Takes a really original premise to explore issues of politics, identity, conformity, individuality, and social and moral duty.
The prose is restrained, terse, and elegant, Extremely creative and empathetic. An important novel. Staggering. Without a doubt this is Ha Jin's finest, most important novel, I was fairly stunned by the extraordinary sitelinkWar Trash, but this one is more cogent and obviously more personal, filled with gutwrenching urgency, cynicism, and despair.
This was claustrophobically bleak but incredibly well done, Its the end of thes in China and Jian is a graduate student, When his professor whose daughter he is dating has a stroke, Jian has to spend hours waiting at his teachers bedside and listening to his professors delirious rambling.


His professor suffered as an intellectual during the cultural revolution, and through listening to his ramblings Jian tries to piece together information about his teachers personal life past and present.
His teachers ravings profoundly affect Jian and he begins to doubt his own plans for the future, and long to somehow escape his life.


Theres an airlessness to the writing in the scenes in the hospital thats unnerving, Even as the professor loses all sense of time and place, he seems to be speaking the truth about his life and what he wants.
Jian is horrified and shaken by his teachers confessions,

The authors juxtaposes Jians bedside vigil with the student protests in Beijing to explore how suffering expressed or responded to can easily become a form of madness.
pazzia o libera espressione

un professore colpito da ictus
un allievo e suo futuro genero che lo assite
la parlantina si scioglie e le parole vengono fuori,
ma in certe situazioni è meglio pensare di essere di fronte alla pazzia.
. .
per tutto il libro ci lasciano pensare che il pazzo sia il vecchio professore
straparla, ricorda il suo passato e mette in discussione la sua vita
le donne, la carriera e la scelta di essere uno studioso
il povero Jian non può che seguire i suoi deliri e porsi la domanda se vuole per sè la stessa vita piena di amarezza
però poi va a piazza Tienanmen le sera prima che i carri armati entrino a sancire la fine della rivoluzione studentesca cinese
e scopriamo che il pazzo non è mai stato così lucido.
. . la Cina non ha nulla da offrire ai giovani
anzi li ha traditi
l'Esercito di liberazione popolare ha rivolto i fucili contro il popolo
e questo può significare solo una cosa: i pazzi sono loro,
i cinesi meritano di più
e solo la vista degli studenti innocenti,
uccisi per mano di chi li avrebbe dovuti proteggere può svegliare le anime addormentate
e da quel momento niente più avrà importanza.
. . This was really close to aout ofstars, but the ending was just not enough for me.
The lastpages were incredible as a whole, if you subtract the lasttopages, and there were some truly incredible moments in here.
However, I just don't think Ha Jin focused on the right thing here, The poetry he puts into this book seems to be in the way of the story, It is the equivalent of someone shaking a bunch of car keys in your face while you are watching a movie like "Citizen Kane" or "Dr.
Strangelove. " However, I do think that this book is good overall, Ha Jin is a great author, but I just didn't think this book lived up to the greatness of "Waiting.
" I personally would recommend this one after you have read and liked "Waiting" and if you didn't like "Waiting," than I guess you can skip this one.


I am giving this one a,out ofstars. A stroke victim sometimes babbles nonsense that just might be more truthful than his prestroke talk, The message of the book seems a little jumbled to me, But liked the exposure to an insider's view of Chinese academic life, one of the finest books i have read recently, the narrative juxtaposes very beautifully the ambitions of a student about to embark on a academic career and his teacher grappling and suffering with the very same.
the book also deals with the internal conflict one faces when faced with moral dilemmas and how choices though in the best of intention can go horribly wrong.
Highly Recommended! My first time reading a work of Ha Jin, His writing kept me completely enthralled throughout, It's simple, with such an amazing command of vocabulary amp description, I had no previous knowledge of the history of China amp the revolution included in this story but this work has peaked my interest to research further.
The length of the book is perfect, It leaves you not only wanting more but thinking about the characters after it ends, Ready to read "Waiting". I didnt enjoy this one as much as some of his others as the subject matter was more serious but still beautifully written.
A sorte que às vezes nos toca ao escolher, aleatoriamente, um livro da estante e sair um dos bons.
Ainda por cima e eu desconhecia tendo como tema de fundo os massacres de Tiananmen quando se cumpriram osanos do acontecimento.
the book is small, smaller than my palm, the letters are small either, otherwise the book'd be perfect It took awhile to get into this.
. . slow going, but not

bad, For the fact that I had to review an online synapsis of what this book was about, says it all.
Cold, boring, and a teaser in the beginning you can see coming from a mile away, I grabbed it because the author is a celebrated Boston University professor, and he had acclaim for his previous book.
This thin read is definitely thin, Tiananmen Square flashback and a strained relationship, Skip!.
