Story
In a country where patriarchal favoritism and the primacy of sons survived multiple revolutions and an ideological earthquake, this epic novel is first and foremost about women, with the female body serving as the book’s central metaphor. The protagonist, Mother, is born in 1900 and married at seventeen into the Shangguan family. She has nine children, only one of whom is a boy—the narrator of the book. A spoiled and ineffectual child, he stands in stark contrast to his eight strong and forceful female siblings.

Story
Today’s most revered, feared, and controversial Chinese novelist offers a tour de force in which the real, the absurd, the comical, and the tragic are blended into a fascinating narrative. The hero—or antihero—of Mo Yan’s new novel is Ximen Nao, a landowner known for his benevolence to his peasants. His story is a deliriously unique journey and absolutely riveting tale that reveals the author’s love of a homeland beset by ills inevitable, political, and traditional.

Story
Spanning three generations, this novel of family and myth is told through a series of flashbacks that depict events of staggering horror set against a landscape of gemlike beauty, as the Chinese battle both Japanese invaders and each other in the turbulent 1930s. A legend in China, where it won major literary awards and inspired an Oscar-nominated film directed by Zhang Yimou, Red Sorghum is a book in which fable and history collide to produce fiction that is entirely new—and unforgettable.

Story
The farmers of Paradise County have been leading a hardscrabble life unchanged for generations. The Communist government has encouraged them to plant garlic, but selling the crop is not as simple as they believed. Warehouses fill up, taxes skyrocket, and government officials maltreat even those who have traveled for days to sell their harvest. A surplus on the garlic market ensues, and the farmers must watch in horror as their crops wither and rot in the fields. Families are destroyed by the random imprisonment of young and old for supposed crimes against the state. Meanwhile, a blind minstrel incites the masses to take the law into their own hands....

Story
In this hypnotic epic novel, Mo Yan, the most critically acclaimed Chinese writer of this generation, takes us on a journey to a conjured province of contemporary China known as the Republic of Wine - a corrupt and hallucinatory world filled with superstitions, gargantuan appetites, and surrealistic events. When rumors reach the authorities that strange and excessive gourmandize is being practiced in the city of Liquorland (so named for the staggering amount of alcohol produced and consumed there), veteran special investigator Ding Gou'er is dispatched from the capital.

Story
Gugu is beautiful, charismatic and of an unimpeachable political background. A respected midwife, she combines modern medical knowledge with a healer's touch to save the lives of village women and their babies. After a disastrous love affair with a defector leaves Gugu reeling, she throws herself zealously into enforcing China's draconian new family-planning policy by any means necessary, be it forced sterilizations or late-term abortions.

Story
Bønderne i Paradis Amt har længe levet under fattige og svære kår. Regeringen har opfordret dem til at dyrke hvidløg, men overproduktion gør det umuligt at komme af med afgrøderne. Magtesløse må bønderne se deres høst gå til på marken under den brændende sol. Deres utilfredshed eksploderer til sidst i et voldsomt oprør, men i den nådesløse bølge af efterfølgende massearrestationer går ingen fri, hverken familier, venner og elskende.

Story
NOBELPRISET I LITTERATUR 2012 Bönderna i Paradisets län har länge levt under svåra omständigheter. Regeringen har uppmanat dem att odla vitlök, men överproduktion gör snart grödan osäljbar. Bönderna kan bara med smärta se på när skörden ruttnar på fälten under den gassande solen. Missnöjet exploderar i ett våldsamt upplopp. I den skoningslösa våg av massarresteringar som följer krossas familjer, vänner och älskande. Vitlöksballaderna är en brutal och förgörande vacker roman, om en grupp bönders uppror mot den korrupta och maktfullkomliga kinesiska byråkratin under åttiotalet.
