Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good/Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. "Kuo Mo-jo is possibly the most versatile Chinese intellectual of our day. One of the most prolific writers and scholars of modern times, he has made substantial contributions in diverse fields: poetry, drama, fiction, autobio…graphy, translation, intellectual and cultural history, archeology, paleography, and cultural and political propaganda. He also helped introduce Western romanticism and modern poetry to China. Born in 1892, Kuo Mo-jo remained oriented to Chinese tradition until 1914 when he went to Japan. He established himself in the 20's as one of the most promising young writers in the new literary movement that had just begun to make its influence felt in the Chinese intellectual world. In 1924 he declared himself a convert to Marxism-Leninism. The consistent presence of autobiographical references in Kuo Mo-jo's writings conveniently provides his readers with a very complete record of his lfie and the development of his ideas and attitudes. This story of Kuo Mo jo's formative years is a study of the road by which one sensitive young Chinese intellectual came to Marxism-Leninism; it also throws light on many aspects of the crucial transitional period of modern Chinese history through which Kuo Mo-jo lived." 244 pages. Bumping/minor damage to top and bottom of DJ spine, elsewise a bright, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy! *NOTE: Additional shipping will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment! LRCA1.

Paperback. Condition: New. This is the fifth and final volume in David Roy's celebrated translation of one of the most famous and important novels in Chinese literature. The Plum in the Golden Vase or, Chin P'ing Mei is an anonymous sixteenth-century work that focuses on the domestic life of Hsi-men Ch'ing, a corrupt, upwardly m…obile merchant in a provincial town, who maintains a harem of six wives and concubines. The novel, known primarily for its erotic realism, is also a landmark in the development of the narrative art form--not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but in a world-historical context. This complete and annotated translation aims to faithfully represent and elucidate all the rhetorical features of the original in its most authentic form and thereby enable the Western reader to appreciate this Chinese masterpiece at its true worth.

Paperback. Condition: New. In this third volume of a planned five-volume series, David Roy provides a complete and annotated translation of the famous Chin P'ing Mei, an anonymous sixteenth-century Chinese novel that focuses on the domestic life of His-men Ch'ing, a corrupt, upwardly mobile merchant who maintains a harem of six…wives and concubines. This work, known primarily for its erotic realism, is also a landmark in the development of narrative art--not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but also in a world-historical context. Written during the second half of the sixteenth century and first published in 1618, The Plum in the Golden Vase is noted for its surprisingly modern technique. With the possible exception of The Tale of Genji (ca. 1010) and Don Quixote (1605, 1615), there is no earlier work of prose fiction of equal sophistication in world literature. Although its importance in the history of Chinese narrative has long been recognized, the technical virtuosity of the author, which is more reminiscent of the Dickens of Bleak House, the Joyce of Ulysses, or the Nabokov of Lolita than anything in earlier Chinese fiction, has not yet received adequate recognition.This is partly because all of the existing European translations are either abridged or based on an inferior recension of the text. This translation and its annotation aim to faithfully represent and elucidate all the rhetorical features of the original in its most authentic form and thereby enable the Western reader to appreciate this Chinese masterpiece at its true worth. Replete with convincing portrayals of the darker side of human nature, it should appeal to anyone interested in a compelling story, compellingly told.
