The Last Lesson of Mrs De Souza
from RM27.29 MYR
- Unit price
- / per
“An unsentimental yet moving narrative, a sobering alternative to Dead Poets Society and To Sir, With Love. With its deep probing look at the teaching profession, it unveils a rich array of themes—homosexual awakening, human actions and consequences, the individual in conflict with society, and most compellingly, the nature of perhaps the most noble and difficult of vocations.” —Boey Kim Cheng, author of Clear BrightnessOne last time and on her birthday, Rose de Souza is returning to school to give a final lesson to her classroom of secondary school boys before retiring from her long teaching career. What ensues is an unexpected confession in which she recounts the tragic and traumatic story of Amir, a student from her past who overturned the way she saw herself as a teacher, and changed her life forever.This stunning first novel from award-winning poet Cyril Wong is a tour de force, an exceptional examination of the power of choice and the unreliability of memory.

Hua Mulan - Legendary Woman Warrior by Xu Deyuan & Jian Wei / Paperback / Translated by Wang Jian / Asiapac Books PTE Ltd 2018English This book tells of the inspirational story of Hua MuIan, the legendary Chinese female warrior who pledges to fight for her family and country in the most unusual by disguising herself as a man – a filial "son" who takes the place of her aged and sick father at the battlefront. Quick-witted and well-skilled in martial arts, Hua MuIan fights valiantly and scores many victories throughout her many years in the army, never once having her real identity revealed. It is only until after the war, however, that our heroine reveals the truth. Stunned by the revelation and greatly moved by her story, Mulan's comrades express their utmost respect and admiration for her great courage and skills, not least her loyalty and devotion to family and country. The story of Hua Mulan has inspired countless generations through the centuries.About the IllustratorsXu Deyuan (6.1962, Dalian) is a full-time artist working With the Cultural Centre of Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province His works, including cartoons and comics, as well as Lunar New Year illustrations, have been shown at exhibitions In China and internationally, and have won several prizes.Jiang Wei (b.1969) is a graduate of the Affiliated Secondary Fine Arts School of China’s Central Academy of Fine Arts and University Complutense of Madrid, Spain.
