Shanghai Tango
批評家のレビュー
あらすじ・解説
At the age of nine, Jin Xing entered a military academy. He knew that he had been born to dance and, in Mao's China, it was the army that provided the best training. His exceptional talent was soon recognised; by the time he was eighteen, he was regarded as the best principal dancer in China. He won a scholarship to study in the United States where he discovered a new world of contemporary dance, and made both a new identity and a decision that was to change his life - and would shake the whole of China: Jin Xing underwent a sex-change. He became a woman - and then a mother and, later, a wife.
The incredible adventure of this solider with a young girl's heart was suppressed by Chinese authorities for years, but now Jin Xing can finally tell her story. From the regimented world of the Red Army, to Europe's most elegant boulevards; from the small Manchurian village of her birth, to the dizzying excess of New York; Jin Xing's story has all the drama and energy of a classic ballet - and a happy ending.
Audible制作部より
On February 27, 1902, in the waning days of the second Boer War in Africa, Harry "the Breaker" Morant, an Australian soldier, was convicted and executed on the grounds that he murdered a German missionary and several Boer prisoners. How, then, did he become an Australian folk hero?
The ponderous, convicting voice of Terrence Donovan relates a novelized account of Morant’s life in The Breaker, written in 1972 by Kit Denton. In swift accounts of action and imagined accounts of Morant as balladeer and poet, The Breaker poses the central question: Was Morant guilty of his crimes? Whether you believe he is innocent or guilty, this audiobook - performed by a master - will take you deep into the blood and sweat of a war that has passed.
