"The sheets below me were burning as the walls surrounding me were closing in. I could feel the heat rising, and I heard the shouting coming from outside. All around me there were precious memories being destroyed as the lives of my loved ones went with them. Suddenly, the door of my room swung open, and my father came crashing through. He picked me up in his arms and carried me out of the burning room. As he sat me down on the ground near the wall, a large beam came tumbling down, burying my father underneath its burning ashes. I watched as the fire’s fury took over my home and sat as my father’s corpse lay across the ground. I screamed for help; I yelled at the top of my lungs as tears came streaking down my cheeks. There was something close by, yet distant all the same. Someone was speaking to me. “You will die,” said the voice. “The Children will never win.”

A celebrated Danish novelist explores European history and colonization through the lives of two men separated by centuries—a shipwrecked wireless operator and an exiled Portuguese poet Slauerhoff’s The Forbidden Kingdom is a blend of historical chronicle, fiction and commentary, bringing together the seemingly unrelated lives of a twentieth century ship’s radio operator and the sixteenth century Portuguese poet-in-exile, Luis Camoes. Slauerhoff draws his reader into a dazzling world of exoticism, betrayal, and exile, where past and present merge and the possibility of death is never far away. Through a narrative that evolves into a critique of European history, culture, and colonialism, Slauerhoff speculates about the lessons to be learnt from history.

The Forbidden City (Zijin Cheng) lying at the heart of Beijing formed the hub of the Celestial Empire for five centuries. Over the past century it has led a reduced life as the refuge for a deposed emperor, as well as a heritage museum for monarchist, republican, and socialist citizens, and it has been celebrated and excoriated as a symbol of all that was magnificent and terrible in dynastic China’s legacy.
