Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A memoir of the fragile beauty and dark undercurrents of the years of French occupation of Vietnam. Michel L?Herpiniere arrived in Hanoi as a teenager in the years before World War II. He fell in love with the country and its people, but gradually became aware that what he saw as an enchanting melange of East and West was not seen the same way by everyone. Michel?s story is inevitably entwined with the history of Vietnam in those years: the French response to the nationalist movement; World War II and the Japanese occupation; the rise of the Vietminh and the refusal of the United States to aid a colonial regime; and the political vacuum, chaos and tragedy in the aftermath of the war. "Hanoi, Adieu" is an intimate and compelling journey through the tumultuous last decades of French Indochina and the crucial years prior to the Vietnam War. It is also a moving story of a life caught up in historic events, and about family, love and growing up.
