About the book: 2014 / Mo Yan is one of the most famous modern Chinese writers, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature for “hallucinatory realism that combines folk tales with history and modernity." “Changes” is the story of a “little man” whose life changes along with the life of the country. A leisurely, extremely imaginative narrative leads us from one event to another. The author shares with us his thoughts and observations, without missing a single detail. And these details give a much more complete picture of the life of China and the Chinese than the thickest history textbooks.
