From now on, I will write several interesting Taiwanese stories that I was ignorant in the past. Most of the stories come from the book recently published by the Mayflower Publisher. The title of the book is "Forbidden Nation- A History of Taiwan, written by Jonathan Manthorpe and translated by Ko Tsuei-Yuen 柯翠園, isbn 978-986-84266-4-1; NT $350, tel-(02)-8522-7530. Mr. Manthorpe is a Canadian news reporter in Asia and has written many commentaries for Asian and Canadian television stations.
How does this new book compare to "Taiwan Four-Hundred Years History" by Mr Su-Ming 吏明? The book by Mr. Su-Ming 吏明 is a classical, yet the book is serious but dry. On the other hand, the book by Mr. Manthorpe is lively and is like reading a detective novel. I am so glad to find this good book to recommend to my readers. Why don't you give it a try?
If you do not want to spend the money, you can just read the stories in my blog. I will make the stories equally entertaining and exciting.
