«Azalea Roja» is the autobiography of Anchee Min, published by Ediciones B in 1996 in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
The author recalls her youth in China during the Cultural Revolution: her initial devotion to the regime's ideals, a life subjected to political control, and the gradual disillusionment that drives her to seek her own identity. The narrative combines personal testimony with an indictment of a historical period of repression.
Work originally published as «Red Azalea» in 1993; the Spanish edition described here was published in 1996.
May appeal to readers of memoirs, biographies, and Chinese history, as well as to reading clubs.
