«Le dit de Tianyi» is the novel by François Cheng, published by Albin Michel in paperback (416 pages, in French).
During a trip to China, the author receives the confessions of the painter Tianyi: his youth in the turbulent China of the 1930s and 1940s, his time in Europe, and his return in search of Yumei and Haolang, the beings who marked his life. It is a novel of apprenticeship and spiritual quest at the crossroads of Chinese and Western cultures.
The original edition was published on September 17, 1998 and the work won the Prix Femina that same year.
For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in the history of China, art, and the encounter between East and West.
