«Cisnes salvajes» is the non-fiction work by Jung Chang, published by Circe Ediciones in paperback, with 560 pages in Spanish.
Three generations of women from the same family traverse twentieth-century China: the grandmother, born in 1909, with bound feet and turned into a warlord's concubine; the mother, a communist revolutionary; and the author, from her childhood to her departure for the West. Wars, invasions and revolutions run through their lives.
First part of the China Duology series; originally published as Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China in 1991, it won the NCR Book Award and the British Book Award.
For fans of history, memoirs and biographies, with a special interest in China's recent past and the experiences of twentieth-century women.
Jung Chang is a Chinese-born British author. She is best known for her family autobiography Wild Swans, which has sold over 10 million copies worldwide but is banned in the People's Republic of China. Her 832-page biography of Mao Zedong, Mao: The Unknown Story, written with her husband, the Irish historian Jon Halliday, was published in June 2005. Reception of the work by academics has been largely negative, though the work has received acclaim in the popular press.
