Change is a novel by the Chinese author Mo Yan, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012. The novel tells the story of the last forty years of China through the eyes of a young man growing up in a constantly changing world. It is a work that reflects the life of Mo Yan himself, from his days as a student and worker to his career as a soldier and writer, as well as the lives of the ordinary people who have accompanied him throughout his life.
With an intimate and complicit tone, the novel delves into the popular history of a country in permanent change, revealing the true identity of the author and his vision of the world. Mo Yan's work is characterized by its creativity and originality, combining reality, dream and satire to offer a masterful portrait of China in the last century and its challenges.
Mo Yan, born Guan Moye, is a Chinese writer. He gained attention for his 1984 novella, A Transparent Radish, and rose to international fame for his 1986 novel Red Sorghum, the first two parts of which were adapted into the Golden Bear-winning film Red Sorghum (1988). In 2012, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work which "with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".
