New York: Crown Publishers, Inc, 1962. First American Edition. Near Fine/Very Good. First American edition, first printing. Signed by K.C. Wu on the half title page and inscribed "With best wishes." 479 pp. Bound in publisher's orange paper-covered boards over yellow spine cloth lettered in orange, cartographic endpapers. Near Fine with light wear, in a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with edgewear, light soiling, and creasing and small stain to spine panel; a few archival mending tissue repairs to verso. An attractive copy of the novel by K.C. Wu (Wu Kuo-chen), an American-educated Chinese politician who served as Mayor of Shanghai after the Second World War. After the Communist victory in 1949 he relocated with the Nationalist government to Taiwan, where he was appointed Governor but came into conflict with more conservative party members. A well-known figure who appeared on the cover of Time magazine, the Governor and his family were eventually forced to leave Taiwan for the United States, where Wu became a professor of Chinese history. The Lane of Eternal Stability, his first novel, charts the course of a decayed gentry family over fifty years of turbulent change.
