China's last Jesuit : Charles J. McCarthy and the end of the mission in Catholic Shanghai / Amanda C.R. Clark.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 115-118) and index.

The Young Jesuit -- China During an Era of Change -- Return to Shanghai -- The Prison Years -- The Philippines, a Change in Course, and the Last Years.

"....chronicles the life of Charles McCarthy, a San Francisco native and Jesuit missionary to China, and tells the unique and compelling story of a young man who experienced confinement under the Japanese occupation, followed shortly by imprisonment by the Chinese Communists in the 1950's. Through a study of McCarthy's unique epistolary exchanges, it considers the intellectual life of a Catholic missionary, his ongoing fight for equal citizenship rights, illustrating how American Catholic missionaries in Maoist-era Shanghai navigated the social tensions of a nation-state in turbulent transition. This narrative explores Jesuit strategies of resistance and persistence in an era of oppression, and ideological and religious conflict as those sent to fill the missionary spots left by European men lost in the World Wars were caught up in China's mid-century political upheavals."--OCLC note.

Shenxiu jianghua 神修講話. [Manuel des âmes intérieures. Chinese] / Jean Nicolas Grou 葛盧 (1731-1803), trans. by Yao Ruo 堯若

Two of Grou's published works carry the title Manuel des ames intérieures (both posthumous): One subtitled "Recueil d'opuscules inédits" and one "Suite d'opuscules inédits." Yet according to the preface to our book, three installments of records from lectures on ascetics (shenxiu 神修)—taken with Grou's permission—given to women religious were published starting in 1833. Our book is a translation of a later, combined edition of the three installments. The preface notes that some passages were omitted in the translation.

Our book was first published in March 1953. It quickly sold out and a new edition was prepared. The preface to the new edition notes that some changes were made to the text and that a new cover was chosen for it.

This book is one of the latest to be published by the Tou-sè-wè (Tushanwan 土山灣) printshop.
