The book that has captivated millions of Chinese readers,
translated into English for the very first time. 'Hypnotic . . . A
record of one person's fierce refusal to follow a path laid down
for her by the rest of the world' Tash Aw, Paris Review Books of
the Year Sanmao: author, adventurer, pioneer. Born in China in
1943, she moved from Chongqing to Taiwan, Spain to Germany, the
Canary Islands to Central America, and, for several years in the
1970s, to the Sahara. Stories of the Sahara invites us into
Sanmao's extraordinary life in the desert: her experiences of love
and loss, freedom and peril, all told with a voice as spirited as
it is timeless. At a period when China was beginning to look beyond
its borders, Sanmao fired the imagination of millions and inspired
a new generation. With an introduction by Sharlene Teo, author of
Ponti, this is an essential collection from one of the twentieth
century's most iconic figures. 'Every story conveys Sanmao's
infectious capacity for wonder' Sharlene Teo, author of Ponti 'Has
endured for generations of young Taiwanese and Chinese women' New
York Times 'Ground-breaking' Geographical 'A remarkable and brave
book. Sanmao was a freewheeling feminist who broke all the rules
and did so with a gleeful, mischievous smile' David Eimer, South
China Morning Post
