Frog

"The author of Red Sorghum and China's most revered and controversial novelist returns with his first major publication since winning the Nobel Prize. In 2012, the Nobel committee confirmed Mo Yan's position as one of the greatest and most important writers of our time. In his much-anticipated new novel, Mo Yan chronicles the sweeping history of modern China through the lens of the nation's controversial one- child policy. Frog opens with a playwright nicknamed Tadpole who plans to write about his aunt. In her youth, Gugu-the beautiful daughter of a famous doctor and staunch Communist-is revered for her skill as a midwife. But when her lover defects, Gugu's own loyalty to the Party is questioned. She decides to prove her allegiance by strictly enforcing the one-child policy, keeping tabs on the number of children in the village, and performing abortions on women as many as eight months pregnant. In sharply personal prose, Mo Yan depicts a world of desperate families, illegal surrogates, forced abortions, and the guilt of those who must enforce the policy. At once illuminating and devastating, it shines a light into the heart of communist China. "--

  • "This book narrates the life experiences of Wan Xin, a rural obstetrician who defends the Chinese family planning policy under the Communist government."
  • "Literaturnobelpreisträger Mo Yan zeigt sich mit seinem neuen großen Roman auf der Höhe seiner Kunst: Gugu ist die begabteste Hebamme in Gaomi. Seit Jahrzehnten bringt sie dort alle Kinder zur Welt. Mit Beginn der Geburtenkontrolle verantwortet die parteitreue Gugu auch Abtreibungen und Zwangssterilisierungen. Für ihre Karriere macht sie sich zum willigen Werkzeug der Partei. Erst im Alter bereut sie ihre Taten, die viele Menschen das Leben kosteten. In farbenprächtigen, autobiografisch grundierten und oft auch komischen Szenen erzählt Mo Yan von den Schicksalen der Frauen und Kinder in seiner ländlichen Heimat und von den dramatischen Folgen der Ein-Kind-Politik für die Menschen in China."

  • "When famine lifts and the population booms, Gugu becomes the unlikely yet passionate enforcer of China's new family-planning policy. She is unrelenting in her mission, invoking hatred in her wake. In her dramatic fall from deity to demon, she becomes the living incarnation of a reviled social policy violently at odds with deep-rooted cultural values. As China moves towards the millennium, a new breed of entrepreneur emerges with a perverse interpretation of the decades-old law. Tadpole finds himself again caught up in the one-child policy and its unpredictable repercussions on the human price of capital."
  • ""Rana, el título, simboliza la multiplicación de la vida, ya que este anfibio tiene una enorme capacidad para reproducirse. La novela presenta una visión única sobre la vida en la China rural desde la perspectiva de una médico de familia, una vez establecida la política de planificación familiar. El autor nos revela la lucha interna de esta médico entre someterse a las directrices políticas y mantener las bajas tasas de natalidad practicando métodos abortivos a mujeres embarazadas del segundo hijo, o a seguir a su corazón protegiendo a los niños y buscando la prevención de embarazos involuntarios." - Publisher's website."
