«Balzac y la joven costurera china» is the novel by Dai Sijie, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (202 pages, in Spanish).
During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, two young urbanites exiled to a mountain village discover a hidden stash of Western classics translated into Chinese and read them in secret with the tailor's daughter. That forbidden reading awakens their interest in literature and fuels their amorous awakening.
The Spanish edition, published in 2001, comes from the original French novel Balzac et la Petite Tailleuse chinoise, which appeared in 2000.
A read for those who enjoy historical fiction and stories about books and their power to transform lives.
Dai Sijie is a Chinese French author and filmmaker living in France since 1984. He writes in French. His first novel, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, written in French, was a best seller and has been translated into more than 25 languages.
