📗 Libro en inglés BEIJIN COMA

May 1989. tens of thousands of students are camped out in Beijing''s Tiananmen Square. What started as a united protest at the slow pace of political reform has begun to lose direction: people from all over china are joining the demonstration and the students at its heat are confused by the influence the suddenly wield. One of them, Dai Wei, argues with his friends about everything from democracy to the distribution of food to protesters, little knowing that, on June 4, a soldier will shoot a bullet into his head, sending him into a deep coma. Beijing Coma is ma Jian''s masterpiece. Spiked with dark wit, poetic beauty and deep rage, it takes the life (and near death) of one young student to create a dazzling and excoriating novel of China''s recent painful past and uneasy future.
