SHAONI is een sprookjesboek voor 'grote mensen'. Het boek verhaalt over een parallelle wereld van onmetelijke liefde en kennis die verborgen ligt achter onze wereld, een wereld die volgens de auteur echt bestaat en die je kan bezoeken. Doorheen het boek nodigt de schrijver de lezer uit om zelf op ontdekking te gaan, samen met het hoofdpersonage Shaoni, een twaalfjarig jongetje op zoek naar die ene wereld. De tocht loopt via een reeks van 66 verhaaltjes, en biedt 66 sleutels om die ene deur te openen, een deur waar we allemaal naar op zoek zijn.
This book was originally published in 1902 by William Griggs. Mr. Griggs was a missionary in Burma with the American Baptist Mission headquartered in Rangoon. Mr. Griggs has the distinction of being one of the first westerners to ever travel into what is now North Shan State, where he was instrumental in planting churches among the hill tribe people. Here Mr. Griggs learned to love the Shan people, among other hill tribe groups in the area. He learned the Shan language, and translated these stories to capture an understanding of the heart of the people.

Twelve-year-old Shang-Chi and and his younger sister, Shi-Hua, are the only children in the grand palace of the Five Weapons Society. Their father, Zheng-Zu, is a harsh master, and all Shang-Chi wants is to prove himself in his father’s eyes. So when he overhears that his father’s powers may be waning and discovers an ancient scroll that might be the key to helping him get those powers back, Shang-Chi knows exactly what to do. For the first time in his life, he sneaks out of the palace and into the outside world, hoping to return with one of the legendary Peaches of Immortality to gift his father. But the world beyond the palace is very different from everything Shang-Chi has been taught, especially a boy called Lu, who knows more about Zheng-Zu than he should. With his home and father’s health on the line, Shang-Chi cannot fail in his quest – but does his father deserve to be saved?

The new text still features our intrepid heroine as she learns what makes ethnography tick against a backdrop of Wild West metaphors, cowboy hats, cattle stampedes, and cacti—and the new edition expands on important content to provide more in-depth material and deeper opportunities for readers to learn.

The Japanese-language edition of Vivian Yang's "Shanghai Girl" was first published in Japan in 2002 as "S.G. Shan Hai Gaaru". This 2011 U.S. edition features an excerpt of the author's WNYC Leonard Lopate Essay Contest-winning new novel "Memoirs of a Eurasian". In the post-Cultural Revolution Shanghai of 1984, university senior Sha-fei Hong longs to study in the U.S. for graduate school, ostensibly to pursue the American Dream, but partly to escape her sexually-harassing Communist cadre stepfather. She meets the visiting Chinese-American businessman Gordon Lou, who has political ambitions and ties to the Chinatown underworld in the U.S. He takes Sha-fei to the American Consulate in Shanghai to look into studying in America. There, Sha-fei meets the intern Edward Cook, a young, Caucasian American lawyer who has a strong preference for all things Asian. Within a year, these three people of entirely different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds cross paths in New York. Value systems and self-interests clash. The curtain falls on a dramatic stage of ambition, sex, intrigue, and murder. Vivian Yang's "Memoir of a Eurasian" and "Shanghai Girl" are available in paperback on Amazon and on Kindle. The Amazon Vivian Yang Page (http: //www.amazon.com/Vivian-Yang/e/B001S03LZM/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0) Editorial Reviews "Shanghai Girl is superb literature ... one of the best of contemporary novels written by Chinese authors ... (Yang is a) Shanghai success ... We eagerly await Yang's next literary feat." --EVE Magazine "A novel that is hard to put down once you've picked it up ... Yang masterfully transports the living onto the page in a way that is sure to make any writer jealous and any reader sit up and take notice." --Blogcritics.org "Shanghai Girl - a feat in itself ... Yang puts a new, often lighthearted spin on frequently covered topics like Chinese identity, the U.S. immigrant experience and reverberations of the Cultural Revolution." -- HK Magazine --HK Magazine "Yang brings with her an expanded array of journeys and experiences, reflective of not only a changing America, but also of a world in transition." --The Museum of Chinese in America (MoCA) "Another 'Tale of Two Cities' ... Paris and London played roles in Dickens' famous novel A Tale of Two Cities. In Shanghai Girl, it is Shanghai and New York." --The Sampan (Boston)
