Liu Xiaobo ; edited by Perry Link, Tienchi Martin-Liao, and Liu Xia with a foreword by Václav Havel

selected essays and poems

When the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 2010, its recipient, Liu Xiaobo, was in Jinzhou Prison, serving an eleven-year sentence for what Beijing called "incitement to subvert state power". This collection is an aid to reflection for Western readers who might take for granted the values Liu has dedicated his life to achieving for his homeland
