  我享受過特權,也遭受過磨難;有過勇氣,也有過恐懼;見過善良、忠誠,也見過人性最醜陋的一面;在痛苦、毀滅與死亡之中,我更認清了愛及人類不可摧毀的求生存、追求幸福的能力。 ──張戎

  這是一部感人家史,也是貫穿了整個二十世紀的磅礡史詩。

  本書是敘述張戎與她的母親、外祖母三代女性如何在動亂的社會裡掙扎奮鬥的故事。透過三個女人的血緣關係極深刻地縮影了二十世紀中國的社會與歷史。

  張戎的外祖母十五歲時就被利欲薰心的父親獻給軍閥作妾,自此開始了坎坷的一生。張戎的母親少女時代是在日軍治下的滿洲國度過,飽嘗了亡國奴的悲痛,寄望共產黨革新中國。在不斷的艱苦磨練中,淬礪為一代新女性。張戎出身高幹家庭,吃共產黨的奶水長大,在歷經大大小小的運動、文化大革命之後,她最後領悟了人生......。

  A new edition of one of the bestselling and best-loved books of recent years, with a new introduction by the author.

  The publication of ‘Wild Swans’ 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 – grandmother, mother and daughter – ‘Wild Swans’ tells nothing less than the whole tumultuous history of China’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, ‘Wild Swans’ 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 ‘Wild Swans’ has had on her life.
