Omschrijving
One of Asia's most important public intellectuals, Wang Gungwu is best-known for his explorations of Chinese history in the long view, and for his writings on the Chinese overseas. In this book the historian of grand themes turns to the intimate scale of a single life history: his own.
"A charming, intimate, and modest autobiography of the childhood and schooling of a great historian of China." -Ezra Vogel, Harvard University
"The book is neither overly dramatic nor flowery, but straightforward and written with measured sentimentality and reflection." — Asian Review of Books
Wang Gungwu, formerly vice chancellor of the University of Hong Kong, is emeritus professor at Australian National University and university professor at the National University of Singapore. He was awarded the Fukuoka Asia Culture Prize in 1996. He is the author of some 20 books.
