ASIA AFTER EUROPE

Not a China book, but its narrative — Asia's rise as a global locus of power and identity — is highly relevant. "Makes more complete our understanding of the long and radical meeting of East and West."

NEW STORY OF THE STONE

Considered one of China’s first works of science fiction. A protagonist from a classic novel is first thrown forward more than a hundred years to the late Qing, then later to a high-tech Confucian utopia.
