About the Book

After five years as a correspondent in China for The New Yorker, Evan Osnos has written one of the books that best explains the country's complex reality in a crucial moment of its history. In China: la edad de la ambición, he analyzes three major themes: the search for prosperity, attempts at democratic openness, and spirituality --all amid the omnipresent Community Party. The book also incorporates accounts from various citizens, some anonymous and some famous, as in the case of Ai Weiwei, on the effects of this breakneck pursuit of wealth on all areas of Chinese society. Tras pasar cinco años como corresponsal en China de la revista New Yorker, Evan Osnos ha escrito uno de los libros que mejor explica la compleja realidad del gigante asiático en un momento crucial de su historia. El libro analiza tres grandes temas -la búsqueda de la prosperidad, los intentos de apertura democrática y la espiritualidad; con la presencia omnipresente del Partido Comunista. El libro también reúne los testimonios de distintos ciudadanos, algunos anónimos y otros tan famosos como Ai Weiwei, el artista que se ha atrevido a denunciar los abusos del macro estado inmerso en esta Edad de la Ambición. Esta desenfrenada carrera por la riqueza afecta a todos los estratos de la sociedad china y amenaza con romper la estabilidad social que ha sido la clave de su éxito.

Review :
"Age of Ambition is... a riveting and troubling portrait of a people in a state of extreme anxiety about their identity, values and future, [and] a China rived by moral crisis and explosive frustration." ―Judith Shapiro, New York Times, on the English language edition "For those new to China, Mr Osnos beautifully portrays the nation in all its craziness, providing a ringside seat for the greatest show on earth." ―The Economist, on the English-language edition "In the pages of the New Yorker, Evan Osnos has portrayed, explained and poked fun at this new China better than any other writer from the West or the East. In Age of Ambition, Osnos takes his reporting a step further, illuminating what he calls China's Gilded Age, its appetites, challenges and dilemmas, in a way few have done." ―John Pomfret, Washington Post, on the English-language edition
