| Zusammenfassung: | "Part-biography, part-travel journal, part-literary commentary, 'A communist in the family' brings together Alley's story and that of his author cousin, Elspeth Sandys. In 2017, Sandys travelled to China with other family members to mark the ninetieth anniversary of Rewi's arrival in Shanghai in 1927. One strand of this book follows that journey and charts Sandys' impressions of modern China. Another tells the story of Rewi's early life, in an insightful meditation on the complex and always elusive relationship between memory and writing. By placing the man, Rewi, and his work in the context of his time, Sandys is able to illuminate the life of this extraordinary New Zealander in a way that is both historically vivid and relevant to the world of today. Her focus on the role poetry played in his life, both his own and that of the Chinese poets he translated so prolifically, provides moving glimpses of the man behind the myth. Threaded through 'A communist in the family' are Sandys' evolving insights into a nation that looms ever larger in the day-to-day realities of New Zealand and the world"--Back cover |
