At the Edge of Empire: A Family's Reckoning with China is a thought-provoking and deeply personal memoir that delves into the complexities of family dynamics, cultural differences, and the impact of technological advancements on our lives. The book tells the story of Michael Sheridan, an American businessman who moves his family to China in search of new opportunities, only to find himself grappling with the challenges of living and working in a vastly different society. As he navigates the intricacies of Chinese culture and bureaucracy, he begins to question the values and beliefs that have shaped his life and the future of his family. The plot revolves around Michael Sheridan, an American entrepreneur who relocates his family to China in pursuit of professional growth and new opportunities. As they settle into their new home, they encounter a myriad of challenges, from language barriers to cultural differences, which force them to confront their own biases and assumptions about the world around them. Throughout the narrative, Sheridan reflects on the role of technology in shaping modern society and the consequences of rapid industrialization on human relationships and values. He also explores the tensions between tradition and progress, as well as the struggle for identity and belonging in a foreign land. As the story unfolds, Sheridan's family faces numerous obstacles, including the loss of their oldest son, who becomes increasingly disillusioned with the Western lifestyle and embraces the Chinese way of life.
At the Edge of Empire: A Family's Reckonning with China - заставляющие задуматься и глубоко личные мемуары, которые углубляются в сложности семейной динамики, культурных различий и влияния технологических достижений на нашу жизнь. Книга повествует о Майкле Шеридане, американском бизнесмене, который перевозит свою семью в Китай в поисках новых возможностей, только чтобы найти себя в борьбе с проблемами жизни и работы в совершенно другом обществе. Ориентируясь в тонкостях китайской культуры и бюрократии, он начинает подвергать сомнению ценности и убеждения, которые сформировали его жизнь и будущее его семьи. Сюжет разворачивается вокруг Майкла Шеридана, американского предпринимателя, который переселяет свою семью в Китай в погоне за профессиональным ростом и новыми возможностями. Когда они поселяются в своем новом доме, они сталкиваются с множеством проблем, от языковых барьеров до культурных различий, которые заставляют их противостоять своим собственным предубеждениям и предположениям об окружающем мире. На протяжении всего повествования Шеридан размышляет о роли технологий в формировании современного общества и последствиях быстрой индустриализации для человеческих отношений и ценностей. Он также исследует напряженность между традицией и прогрессом, а также борьбу за идентичность и принадлежность на чужбине. По мере развития истории семья Шеридана сталкивается с многочисленными препятствиями, включая потерю своего старшего сына, который всё больше разочаровывается в западном образе жизни и принимает китайский образ жизни.
