Paperback. Condition: Very Good. As a young girl in China Xinran heard a rumour about a soldier in Tibet who had been brutally fed to the vultures in a ritual known as a sky burial: the tale frightened and fascinated her. Several decades later Xinran met Shu Wan, a Chinese woman who had spent years searching for her missing husband who had been serving as a doctor in Tibet; her extraordinary life story would unravel the legend of the sky burial. For thirty years she was lost in the wild and alien landscape of Tibet, in the vast and silent plateaus and the magisterial mountain ranges, living with communities of nomads moving with the seasons and struggling to survive. In this haunting book, Xinran recreates Shu Wen's remarkable journey in an epic story of love, loss, loyalty and survival. Moving, shocking and, ultimately, uplifting Sky Burial paints a unique portrait of a woman and a land, both at the mercy of fate and politics. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Als kleines Mädchen war Xinran fasziniert von der Geschichte über einen jungen Soldaten, der auf geheimnisvolle Weise in Tibet verschwunden war. Dreißig Jahre später trifft Xinran Shu Wen, die Ehefrau jenes Soldaten, und hört die Geschichte ihrer einzigartigen Liebe. 1958 sind Shu Wen und ihr Mann Kejun junge idealistische Ärzte. Kurz nach ihrer Hochzeit geht Kejun mit der Armee nach Tibet, und nur wenige Wochen später erhält Shu Wen die Nachricht, ihr Mann sei dort umgekommen. Aus ihrer Verzweiflung erwächst der jungen Frau Entschlossenheit: Sie macht sich auf die Suche nach Kejun. Kaum in Tibet, wird sie nach einem Überfall von einer tibetischen Familie aufgenommen. Dreißig Jahre wird sie mit ihr durch das Hochland Tibets ziehen, ihren harten Alltag teilen, ihre Freuden und Leiden miterleben, ihre tiefe Verbundenheit mit der Religion bewundern lernen. Dreißig Jahre wird sie nach Kejun suchen, voller Liebe und unterstützt von den Menschen, mit denen sie lebt. Nach dreißig Jahren erfährt Shu Wen die Wahrheit über den Tod ihres Geliebten - und hat in dieser langen Zeit die Kraft in sich gefunden, seinen Tod hinzunehmen und ihre Liebe zu ihm zu bewahren. 176 pp. Deutsch.
