Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A young aristocrat's quest for identity amid love, loss, and betrayal in 18th-century ChinaIn the opulent world of 18th-century China, where wealth and power reign supreme, The Boy with the Jade unveils the poignant tale of Baoyu, heir to the illustrious Jia family. Born with a jade pendant in his mouth-a symbol of his destiny-Baoyu's life is one of luxury laced with darkness.Amidst his family's splendor, Baoyu navigates complex relationships. He shares a deep, intellectual connection with his cousin Daiyu and engages in intense liaisons with Amber, his main maid. Yet, these bonds are marred by mistreatment, deception, and overwhelming societal pressures.Baoyu's life spirals after a severe beating from his father, Amber's death, and Daiyu's illness. His spirit breaks, plunging him into despair and leading to the loss of his jade pendant. Fate deals another blow when he's duped into marrying Baochai on the day Daiyu dies. Seeking enlightenment, Baoyu turns to Taoist and Buddhist philosophies, finding guidance from mystical mentors who help him reclaim his jade and hope.With expectations to excel at the Imperial Examination and continue his lineage, Baoyu is trapped by tradition. Craving freedom, he makes a bold escape, embarking on a transformative journey.Praised by Readers' Favorite as 'engaging and filled with well-crafted dialogue that brings the story and the characters to life,' the novel is also lauded for 'vivid descriptions of events and emotions' and a plot that 'flows seamlessly' while sparking curiosity about Chinese history.Midwest Book Review calls it 'a lively, engrossing story of self-discovery and social expectations,' noting how Charles Bush 'crafts a first-person experience' that layers psychological trauma, philosophical reflection, and cultural legacy into 'a compelling read' for fans of historical fiction and book clubs alike.Drawing inspiration from Hong Lou Meng, Bush's novel weaves a rich narrative of love, grief, and self-discovery. The Boy with the Jade explores the intricate human quest for meaning, transcending both time and culture.…
