«Cisnes salvajes» is Jung Chang's biography of three generations of women in 20th-century China, published by Circe Ediciones in paperback (544 pages, in Spanish).
The work reconstructs the true story of three women from the same family: the grandmother, born in feudal China and forced to be a concubine; the mother, who lives under the communist regime; and the author herself, who grows up amid wars, invasions, revolutions and social changes. Through their lives, the book covers the Chinese 20th century and shows how survival, memory and resilience are passed down from generation to generation.
The book belongs to the Biografía collection from Circe Ediciones. This title is also known as «Cisnes salvajes: tres hijas de China».
Suitable for readers interested in Chinese history, biographies and family memoirs with a political and social background.
