Description
Frog by Nobel Prize-winning Chinese author Mo Yan is a powerful literary novel exploring China's family planning policies and their profound effects on rural communities. The story centers on an experienced village midwife whose decades of work bring her into direct conflict with questions of birth, state authority, and personal responsibility. Through her experiences, the novel examines the moral dilemmas faced by individuals caught between government policies, family expectations, and their own consciences. Combining dark humor, satire, and emotional storytelling, Mo Yan portrays the consequences of social change and the lasting impact of political decisions on ordinary lives. The narrative unfolds through letters and theatrical elements, creating a distinctive structure that deepens its exploration of guilt, accountability, and human nature. This Persian-language hardcover edition is an engaging choice for readers interested in contemporary Chinese literature, political themes, and thought-provoking social fiction.
