«Une fleur mortelle» is an autobiographical work by Han Suyin, published by Le Livre de Poche in 1973 in paperback.
The volume covers China from 1928 to 1939 and approaches the life of ordinary people and isolated Eurasians, who found no place in a changing world. Han Suyin offers an unidealised vision of a turbulent era, between historical chronicle and personal memory.
This volume belongs to the series 'China: Autobiography, History' and was originally published in English as 'A Mortal Flower' in 1966. Complete text in French; 541 pages.
A work suitable for readers interested in twentieth-century China, personal memory and the historical chronicle of a turbulent era.
Rosalie Matilda Kuanghu Chou was a Chinese-born Eurasian physician and author better known by her pen name Han Suyin. She wrote in English and French on modern China, set her novels in East and Southeast Asia, and published autobiographical memoirs which covered the span of modern China. These writings gained her a reputation as an ardent and articulate supporter of the Chinese Communist Revolution. She lived in Lausanne, Switzerland, for many years until her death.
