Produktinformationen zu „Bestsellers: On Gold Mountain (ePub)“
When she was a girl, Lisa See spent summers in the cool, dark recesses of her familys antiques store in Los Angeles Chinatown. There, her grandmother and great-aunt told her intriguing, colorful stories about their familys past--stories of missionaries, concubines, long wars, glamorous nightclubs, and the determined struggle to triumph over racist laws and discrimination. They spoke of how Lisas great-great-grandfather emigrated from his Chinese village to the United States to work on the building of the transcontinental railroad as an herbalist; how his son followed him, married a Caucasian woman, and despite great odds, went on to become one of the most prominent Chinese on "e;Gold Mountain"e; (the Chinese name for the United States).s an adult, See spent five years collecting the details of her familys remarkable history. She interviewed nearly one hundred relatives--both Chinese and Caucasian, rich and poor--and pored over documents at the National Archives and several historical societies, searching in countless attics, basements, and closets for the intimate nuances of her ancestors lives. The result is a vivid, sweeping family portrait in the tradition of Alex Haleys Roots that is at once particular and universal, telling the story not only of one family, but of the Chinese people in America itself, a country that both welcomes and reviles immigrants like no other culture in the world.
