Story
Few books have had such an impact as Wild Swans: a popular best seller and a critically acclaimed history of China that opened up the country to the world. Through the story of three generations of women in her own family - the grandmother given to the warlord as a concubine, the Communist mother, and the daughter herself - Jung Chang reveals the epic history of China's twentieth century. Breathtaking in its scope, unforgettable in its descriptions, this is a masterpiece that is extraordinary in every way.

Story
The best-known modern Chinese fairy tale is the story of three sisters from Shanghai who, for most of the 20th century, were at the centre of power in China. It was sometimes said that ‘one loved money, one loved power and one loved her country’, but there was far more to the Soong sisters than these caricatures. As China battled through a hundred years of wars, revolutions and seismic transformations, each sister played an important, sometimes critical role and left an indelible mark on history.

Story
At the age of 16, in a nationwide selection for royal consorts, Cixi was chosen as one of the emperor’s numerous concubines. When he died, in 1861, their five-year-old son succeeded to the throne. Cixi at once launched a palace coup against the regents appointed by her husband and made herself the real ruler of China - behind the throne, literally, with a silk screen separating her from her officials who were all male.

Story
Beretningen om enkekejserinde Cixi, der regerede i Kina i mere end 50 år, er et stykke ukendt kinahistorie og et fascinerende portræt af en af verdenshistoriens mest magtfulde kvinder. Jung Chang, der blev verdensberømt på at fortælle sin mormors, sin mors og sin egen historie i bogen De vilde svaner, retter spottet mod endnu en dramatisk kvindeskæbne og giver samtidig et unikt indblik i Kinas historie i perioden op til kejserdømmets opløsning i 1908.

Story
"Vilde svaner" fortæller Kinas historie gennem tre generationer: Jung Changs, hendes mors og hendes bedstemors. Da Jung Changs bedstemor blev født i 1909, var Kina et feudalsamfund. Den lille piges fødder blev brækket og snøret, fordi liljefødder blev anset for at være smukt, og faderen solgte for en god pris den 15-årige som konkubine til en 52-årig general. Jung Changs mor voksede op under japansk og dernæst russisk overherredømme og gik siden aktivt ind i den kommunistiske undergrundsbevægelse, hvor hun forelskede sig i et ungt idealistisk partimedlem.
