Return To Dragon Mountain by Jonathan Spence
Memories of a Late Ming Man
A richly annotated translation and study of a late Ming personal memoir that uses one man's recollections of official posts, family life, travel and the social upheavals of his time to illuminate the culture, politics and everyday realities of late imperial China; the book interweaves the original text with historical context and commentary to show how personal memory reflects broader changes and tensions at the end of the Ming era.
