About this title

Synopsis

A moving Chinese tale about family, fate, and faith, told with warmth and moral insight.

Discover how customs, hope, and devotion shape a people and their choices.

Set against the backdrop of early 19th‑century China, this translation opens a window into a world of temples, marriage customs, and everyday life. It follows a husband and wife whose quiet life is touched by fortune, hardship, and the bonds that tie generations together, offering a look at beliefs and practices that guided many families.

Explore how families honor ancestors and gods through temples, offerings, and ceremonies.
See how personal vows and social expectations influence decisions around marriage and children.
Get a glimpse of village life, trade, and maritime commerce that shape daily existence.
Reflect on themes of devotion, resilience, and the moral lessons embedded in traditional tales.

Ideal for readers of historical fiction and those curious about Chinese customs, religion, and family life as depicted in classic translations.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
