Mavi Doñate, corresponsal de RTVE en Pekín, nos ofrece un libro imprescindible para entender la transformación del mundo global.

«Bajo la mirada del dragón despierto es tan solo una de mis crónicas, contada en primera persona, sobre la cobertura periodística que jamás habría querido hacer, pero que, de seguro, ha sido y será la más importante de mi carrera .

China está lejos. Es lo primero que aprende un periodista destinado en un extremo del mundo al que nunca hemos prestado demasiada atención. Cuando Mavi Doñate llegó a Pekín en el verano de 2015 con el vértigo anidado en el estómago, cumplió un sueño que la había acompañado desde niña: ser corresponsal. Lo que no podía imaginar entonces es que estaba a punto de protagonizar una de las etapas de mayor intensidad informativa de este primer tramo de siglo.

Mavi Doñate posee un don innato, mezcla de intuición y sutileza, para contar historias. Su relato personal de los seis años que vivió en el gigante asiático, elaborado a partir de los recuerdos y las voces que quedaron fuera de la información diaria, nos ofrece un valioso retrato de la China actual. Estas páginas recorren los contrastes de un país en constante reinvención y nos llevan de la política internacional a la vida cotidiana; de la modernidad sin freno a las tradiciones más arraigadas; del bullicio en las calles por las celebraciones del Año Nuevo al silencio de los peores días de la pandemia, y nos recuerdan que, durante décadas, hemos vivido de espaldas a ese dragón milenario que esperaba su momento para despertar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mavi Doñate, RTVE correspondent in Beijing, brings us an essential book to understand the transformation of the global world.

"Under the Gaze of the Awakened Dragon is but one of my chronicles, told in first person, about the media coverage I would never have wanted to do, but that surely has been and will remain the most important in my career."

China is far away. It is the first thing a journalist learns when stationed in a corner of the world nobody pays much attention to. When Mavi Doñate arrived in Beijing in the summer of 2015 feeling the vertigo nesting in her stomach, she was fulfilling a dream she'd had since childhood: being a correspondent. What she couldn't imagine then was that she was about to star in one of the most intense media times in the first half of this century.

Mavi Doñate has an innate gift--half intuition, half subtlety--to tell stories. Her personal tale of the six years she lived in the Asian juggernaut, crafted after the memories and voices left out of the daily news, offers a valuable recount of China today. These pages explore the contrasts in a country constantly reinventing itself, taking us from international politics to everyday life, from unrestrained modernity to deep-rooted traditions, from the bustle of the streets in New Year's Eve to the silence during the worst days of the pandemic, reminding us that, for decades, we have lived with our backs to this ancient dragon, biding its time to reawaken.
