Recenzii
"Hu Mingyuan's book leaves the reader dreaming wistfully of a better China, of the boundless creative potential that could be unleashed within China, if the freedom of thought and the life of the spirit so evident in this book were ever to be sanctioned by the authorities. That would be a true Chinese Renaissance. [..] Hu Mingyuan's humanistic credentials are evident from the very first pages...So too is her virtuosity in navigating effortlessly between demanding texts in Chinese, English and French. [..] This absorbing book breaks new and fascinating ground, offering crucial evidence of the growth of a great translator's mind. It should be read with care by anyone engaged in modern Chinese intellectual history, and by all who are interested in the history of translation. [..] Throughout the book, Hu is never afraid to think laterally and creatively herself, infusing a lyrical quality into her writing, a quality which lifts her work far above the run-of-the mill academic studies of modern Chinese culture." - John Minford, Professor Emeritus of Chinese, Australian National University, and Sin Wai Kin Distinguished Professor of Chinese Culture and Translation, Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, in: China Review International, Vol. 24 No. 2 (2017)
"A powerfully argued and deeply moving study, linking Shanghai and Paris, of one of twentieth-century China’s greatest and most courageous public intellectuals. Uncovering previously unknown primary sources that detail personal relationships in Paris, Hu Mingyuan charts the evolution of Fou Lei’s resistance to authoritarianism and the seeds of his tragic demise." - Claire Roberts, The University of Melbourne, author of Friendship in Art: Fou Lei and Huang Binhong
"This is a groundbreaking biography of twentieth-century China’s greatest translator. The discoveries rigorously unearthed in Parisian archives by Dr Hu Mingyuan shed an entirely new light on Fou Lei’s links to French friends such as Jean Daniélou and René Étiemble. The reconstruction of Fou Lei’s intellectual itinerary through his brotherhood with his authors and heroes, be it Romain Rolland and his Jean-Christophe or Hippolyte Taine and his Philosophy of Art, restitutes for the reader this Insistence on Truth which gives Fou Lei’s tragic destiny its true meaning, beyond the mishaps common to much of his generation." – Pierre Barroux, former Consul General of France in Shanghai
