«Les Dix Mille Marches» is the historical novel by Lucien Bodard, published by France Loisirs in hardcover (466 pages, in French).
The narrative follows the rise of Mao Zedong's future wife: from humble origins, she starts as an actress in interwar Shanghai and works her way up to the top of the Chinese Communist Party. In parallel, the novel portrays the turbulent China of the first half of the 20th century, with the war against the nationalists, the underground, betrayals and the Long March.
This French edition is from 1992 and has a dust jacket; the back cover reproduces a comment by Alain Peyrefitte published in Le Figaro.
For readers of historical fiction interested in 20th-century China and the figure of Mao Zedong's wife.
Lucien Bodard was a Chinese-born French reporter, and writer on events in East and Southeast Asia, such as the Indochinese nations becoming independent from France, and the Vietnam War.
