«La tragédie chinoise» is the historical essay by Alain Peyrefitte, published by Fayard in paperback (370 pages, in French).
Starting from the «Printemps de Pékin» of 1989, Alain Peyrefitte analyses the Chinese crisis as a manifestation of a historical constant: the repetition of the factors that shape the country's tragedy. The author also places it within a broader phenomenon, the tragedy of the Third World, and reflects on democracy, modernisation and the dilemmas that Peking had to resolve.
Published in 1990, the volume includes bibliographical references. On the cover, the author is listed as a member of the Académie française.
For readers interested in contemporary Chinese history, the 1989 Peking Spring and the historical essay.
