Recenzii
Enjoyable for the human comedy and high quality of Trevor-Roper's prose.
Expertly edited, with touches of wit, but with pathos, too... The China Journals is a book as suitable for relishing Trevor-Roper's bitchy brilliance as it is for its fascinating insight into a China about to change forever.
Scholarly, incisive and omniscient, Davenport-Hines has done another wonderful job . Consistently entertaining.
These diaries are as much about the forgotten world of Britain's intellectual and academic élite in the Cold Wars as they are about China. They offer unusual light on the cultural Cold War underway in the West between fellow travellers of the Communist regimes, then apparently on the rise, and Western anti-Communists of various strains.
