An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R. R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans. What is the origin of this creature? The Dragon in the West is the first serious and substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed exploration begins with the drakōn of Greek myth and the draco of the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female dragons. It brings the story forwards though Christian writings, medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling saints, before concluding with a study of dragons found in the medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Norse sagas.
Vietnam, 1968. A Vietnamese girl-a dragon-and her family are caught in the throes of violence, taking shelter in their dilapidated dwelling. The thick threat of attack hangs in the air like a heavy fog as bombs sound and machine guns whir throughout the city. As long as the family is together, all will be fine. Dublin, California, 2006. A Vietnamese-American woman-a dragon-reflects on her present circumstances, worlds away from those humble roots, now taking cover not from the indiscriminate cruelty of war but from the discriminate barbarity of man. As buds bloom and flowers blossom in a spectacular show of rebirth, spring dawns in her heart and delivers the promise of life. As long as she has her family, all will be fine. A Dragon's Tale, by Long Lee, is a rich tapestry, narrating a life's history wound with personal reflection. Marred by the ravages of war and the scars of personal battles, Lee's is a story of survival and the resiliency of the human spirit. From the rice fields of Vietnam to a cell on America's shores, one woman loses everything yet discovers she has gained it all.
In The Dragons Tale, Edi Holley paints an engaging and memorable portrait of her childhood in China and New Hampshire during the 1940s and 1950s. A series of vivid and swift-moving vignettes transports us from rice paddies to the Dragon Boat Festival, from mountains to recipes for Zong Zi and moon cookies to the story of the Silk Road, to Christmas on in a New Hampshire farmhouse, to Japanese bombs, and to the approach of Mao Tse-tung. Holleys warm and deft writing style sharply evokes both family members and intense sights and the sounds and smells of China with captivating results.
