The publication of âe~Wild Swansâe(tm) in 1991 was a worldwide phenomenon. Not only did it become the bestselling non-fiction book in British publishing history, with sales of well over two million, it was received with unanimous critical acclaim, and was named the winner of the 1992 NCR Book Award and the 1993 British Book of the Year Award. Few books have ever had such an impact on their readers. Through the story of three generations of women âe" grandmother, mother and daughter âe" âe~Wild Swansâe(tm) tells nothing less than the whole tumultuous history of Chinaâe(tm)s tragic 20th-century, from sword-bearing warlords to Chairman Mao, from the Manchu Empire to the Cultural Revolution. At times terrifying, at times astonishing, always deeply moving, âe~Wild Swansâe(tm) is a book in a million, a true story with all the passion and grandeur of a great novel. For this new edition, Jung Chang has written a new introduction, bringing her own story up to date, and describing the effect the success of âe~Wild Swansâe(tm) has had on her life."/><meta property="og:title" content="Wild Swans"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=VSk55Qor8SoC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&imgtk=AFLRE73C9wnzv_KdMHGooLVK6Nd5O4eNWBmUVaGpeDG7tH8YObARUN4_HDklBOBcM9Jd7eCJNGd3Dv25TU0IUSuONRIYdt4aM05skr2ks74c0kRS7qoJY0U9hw-xYpj7NtRsRdTEWoMz"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=VSk55Qor8SoC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&imgtk=AFLRE73C9wnzv_KdMHGooLVK6Nd5O4eNWBmUVaGpeDG7tH8YObARUN4_HDklBOBcM9Jd7eCJNGd3Dv25TU0IUSuONRIYdt4aM05skr2ks74c0kRS7qoJY0U9hw-xYpj7NtRsRdTEWoMz"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DVSk55Qor8SoC%26dq%3Dsubject:%2522Biography%2B%2526%2BAutobiography%2522%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26redir_esc%3Dy&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=VSk55Qor8SoC&dq=subject:%22Biography+%26+Autobiography%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.
