| Zusammenfassung: | Fortune. Unfettered ; The call ; Baptized in civilization ; Appetites of the mind ; No longer a slave ; Cutthroat ; Acquired taste -- Truth. Dancing in shackles ; Liberty leading the people ; Miracles and magic engines ; A chorus of soloists ; The art of the resistance ; Seven sentences ; The germ in the henhouse ; Sandstorm ; Lightning storm ; All that glitters ; The hard truth -- Faith. The spiritual void ; Passing by ; Soulcraft ; Culture wars ; True believers ; Breaking out "A vibrant, colorful, and revelatory inner history of China during a moment of profound transformation. From abroad, we often see China as a caricature: a nation of pragmatic plutocrats and ruthlessly dedicated students destined to rule the global economy--or an addled Goliath, riddled with corruption and on the edge of stagnation. What we don't see is how both powerful and ordinary people are remaking their lives as their country dramatically changes. As the Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, Evan Osnos was on the ground in China for years, witness to profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval. In Age of Ambition, he describes the greatest collision taking place in that country: the clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. He asks probing questions: Why does a government with more success lifting people from poverty than any civilization in history choose to put strict restraints on freedom of expression? Why do millions of young Chinese professionals--fluent in English and devoted to Western pop culture--consider themselves "angry youth," dedicated to resisting the West's influence? How are Chinese from all strata finding meaning after two decades of the relentless pursuit of wealth? Writing with great narrative verve and a keen sense of irony, Osnos follows the moving stories of everyday people and reveals life in the new China to be a battleground between aspiration and authoritarianism, in which only one can prevail"-- Publisher's website |

From abroad, we often see China as a caricature: a nation of pragmatic plutocrats and ruthlessly dedicated students destined to rule the global economy--or an addled Goliath, riddled with corruption and on the edge of stagnation. What we don't see is how both powerful and ordinary people are remaking their lives as their country dramatically changes. As the Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, Evan Osnos was on the ground in China for years, witness to profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval. In Age of Ambition, he describes the greatest collision taking place in that country: the clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. He asks probing questions: Why does a government with more success lifting people from poverty than any civilization in history choose to put strict restraints on freedom of expression? Why do millions of young Chinese professionals--fluent in English and devoted to Western pop culture--consider themselves "angry youth," dedicated to resisting the West's influence? How are Chinese from all strata finding meaning after two decades of the relentless pursuit of wealth? Writing with great narrative verve and a keen sense of irony, Osnos follows the moving stories of everyday people and reveals life in the new China to be a battleground between aspiration and authoritarianism, in which only one can prevail"-- Publisher's website Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 2005-2013 gnd rswk-swf Politik Wirtschaftsentwicklung Social change / China Economic development / China Individualism / China Authoritarianism / China Politisches System (DE-588)4046584-6 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-588)4066438-7 gnd rswk-swf Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 gnd rswk-swf Soziales System (DE-588)4055764-9 gnd rswk-swf Gesellschaft (DE-588)4020588-5 gnd rswk-swf Politischer Wandel (DE-588)4175047-0 gnd rswk-swf Modernisierung (DE-588)4120755-5 gnd rswk-swf China / Civilization / 2002- China / Social conditions / 2000- China / Politics and government Peking (DE-588)4075971-4 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4133254-4 Erlebnisbericht gnd-content 2\p (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content China (DE-588)4009937-4 g Gesellschaft (DE-588)4020588-5 s Modernisierung (DE-588)4120755-5 s Politischer Wandel (DE-588)4175047-0 s Wirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-588)4066438-7 s Politisches System (DE-588)4046584-6 s Geschichte 2005-2013 z DE-604 Peking (DE-588)4075971-4 g Soziales System (DE-588)4055764-9 s Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 s Geschichte z 3\p DE-604 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
