384 Pages. Stated First Edition. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped.
This is a very insight-filled book dealing with the Chinese Reform Movement while it existed and during its absolute repression. The book's dust jacket is in Near Fine condition with the only visible detriments being two very slightly worn corners and a verticle crease on the spine's left edge. The interior book, on the other hand, is in a Fine condition with the only detriment keeping it from being in Like-New condition being a bit of mold spotting on the closed book's right and top page edges. Outside of that, there are no visible extraneous markings, detriments, or other distractions throughout it and thus all of the book's printing is in a very well-preserved and enjoyable condition and the book's bindings remain tight and therefore are sound.
If you should order this deep look into the Chinese Reform Movement from us, it will be carefully wrapped up, then boxed and padded and mailed right away to you with insurance, and comes with our honest appreciation for your order.

Description:
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Pantheon Books, 1988. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A vivid narrative about China's emergence into the modern world, conveying with startling immediacy the riptide of enthusiasm for Democracy that first swept China's universities, then its intellectuals, and finally its cities. Whether carrying us along on a student demonstration; describing the purging of dissident intellectuals from the Party; discussing China's traditional notion of human rights; or allowing us glimpses into the new unexpected worlds of Chinese bodybuilding, advertising, disco, and cosmetic surgery, Schell's eye is sharp and his analysis penetrating. As new, unread, first edition, first printing,, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.[Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] NFBS2
