A ​papírsereglet és más történetek by Ken Liu

5.0

These short stories are not just science or fantastic stories. These are memories from the past of Asian countries. And it is a face-palm too because there are some which are based on historical events and I have never heard about it. During my historical studies in school we talk about only our own country and the biggest events from all over the world.

We talk about the Holocaust, racism, hierarchy but I have never heard about the unit 731, never heard stories from a Chinese perspective how was the start in the early America. Somehow, these countries are still mysterious and covered with legends in the 21th century.

Thanks a lot for Ken Liu to catch my attention to the details and makes me to ask and to follow up the reality through The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories.
