Historia5 out of 5 stars 66
More than two decades after teaching English during the early part of China’s economic boom, an experience chronicled in his book River Town, Peter Hessler returned to Sichuan Province to instruct students from the next generation. At the same time, Hessler and his wife enrolled their twin daughters in a local state-run elementary school, where they were the only Westerners. Over the years, Hessler had kept in close contact with many of the people he had taught in the 1990s.

A fascinating and deeply felt book read superbly by the author. Hessler’s insights into Chinese society and two generations of young Chinese are profoundly enlightening. Never boring, it brings provincial China to life. I highly recommend it.

For decades, the specter of homosexuality haunted Washington. The mere suggestion that a person might be gay destroyed reputations, ended careers, and ruined lives. At the height of the Cold War, fear of homosexuality became intertwined with the growing threat of international communism, leading to a purge of gay men and lesbians from the federal government. In the fevered atmosphere of political Washington, the secret “too loathsome to mention” held enormous, terrifying power.

Superb book
Revisado: 07-10-22
Although not without its flaws, “Secret City” is full of fascinating material, brilliantly researched and written. Many of the stories that the book relates are simply not available elsewhere, certainly in the depth and drama presented here. It is well-read on Audible, except for a number of mispronunciations of names which mar the listening experience.
