...And the Rain My Drink

...And the Rain My Drink

Han Suyin

Han Suyins großartiger Roman über die Notstandszeit in Malaya und Singapur wurde erstmals 1956 veröffentlicht.

Dieser Roman beschwört die Farben und Konflikte eines Landes herauf, in dem in den späten 1940er und frühen 50er Jahren ein erbitterter Guerillakrieg zwischen kommunistischen Terroristen, die im malaiischen Dschungel lauerten, und britischen, australischen und neuseeländischen Streitkräften ausgetragen wurde. Mit unendlicher Schärfe und Gefühl schreibt sie über die verflochtenen Leben vieler Menschen, die im Zusammenprall mächtiger Kräfte gefangen sind. Hartnäckige, unterdrückte chinesische Gummizapfer, ein hübsches Mädchen namens Small Cloud, für das Verrat zur Lebenseinstellung geworden ist, und die steife, distanzierte Welt der britischen Administratoren und ihrer „Mems“.
