I have read Jonathan Spence's many previous books ... but Return to Dragon Mountain is his masterpiece to date ... Zhang Dai, an important historian of the Late Ming Dynasty, China's Golden Age, is so rendered by Return to Dragon Mountain that I am reminded of the narrator in Marcel Proust and also of Joseph Conrad's heroic but darkly fated heroes - Harold Bloom
His writing is authoritative, subtle, never over-complicated, and shows a rare elegance of phrase.... Immediacy, a rare commodity in Chinese history-writing, is what this book achieves, and it is indeed a joy - Literary Review
