Produktinformationen zu „Shanghai Baby: The Adventures of an American Girl from the Far East to the Midwest (ePub)“

An Extraordinary Legacy: Born in Shanghai, China, in an era between the World Wars, Zillah Janes inherited a natural spirit of adventure. Her father, an American businessman in the Far East, met and married in Tokyo her mother, a British governess who had escaped both Poland and Russia in the wake of war and revolution. Their two daughters grew up among Shanghai's international community, where Zillah became a keen observer of local culture. Her story features remarkable events:
• How she became the youngest American at the time to hold her own passport
• Traveling the world by steamship, including a voyage through the Suez Canal and Straits of Gibraltar
• Her family's evacuation of Shanghai under falling bombs and shrapnel
• Living as temporary refugees in Manila and Singapore before returning to Japanese-occupied Shanghai
• Summers in Java and Bali after her father's reassignment to the Dutch East Indies
• Leaving her Shanghai home behind as World War 2 loomed
• Reunion with her father after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor while his ship convoy transited the Pacific
• How she adjusted to American culture: from Berkeley, California, to the suburbs of Chicago and the Midwest, to Hollywood and Southern California
Over 150 vintage photos and three maps illustrate this unique and personal reflection on a fascinating time in world history.

Autoren-Porträt von Elizabeth Zillah Janes Novak

Writing has been part of my DNA, as my mother was a great letter writer and documented her travels through Europe, Russia, and on to the Far East. I have kept journals of my own travels, written poetry, and penned devotional reflections throughout my life. As an active Docent at a museum, I have found that history and biographies are my favorite kind of reading, and I love helping children discover different cultures and interesting artifacts. My own creative projects range from art, handcrafts, and do-it-yourself home maintenance. Since my childhood during the 1930s and 1940s was unusual, my family urged me to write an autobiography.
