Discover a powerful literary work from one of the most important voices in contemporary Chinese literature. One Man’s Bible, written by Nobel Laureate Gao Xingjian, is a haunting and poetic novel of personal and political memory—set against the backdrop of China’s Cultural Revolution.
Gao’s semi-autobiographical narrative explores themes of freedom, exile, desire, and repression with unflinching honesty. His lyrical prose and shifting timelines mirror the fragmented emotional toll of living under Maoist rule. A companion work to Soul Mountain, One Man’s Bible is essential reading for collectors of Nobel Prize literature and modern Chinese fiction.
This Near Fine copy features a clean, tight binding with a bright, unclipped dust jacket. No remainder marks or inscriptions. A desirable collectible in excellent condition.
