Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Erotic, violent, and intelligently rendered, Mirage is also one of the earliest Chinese works detailing the rise of the opium trade in China. This novel, the authorship of which remains a mystery, will appeal to anyone interested in the history of China or in thrilling historical fiction in general.First published anonymously in 1804-its author remains unknown-Mirage is set in Guangzhou (Canton), some decades before the city was overwhelmed by the opium trade and the Opium War. Su Jishi, the adolescent son of the head of the Chinese traders' association, the men licensed to deal with foreign merchants in the port, is suddenly burdened with responsibility for his powerful family after his father's unexpected death. More interested in sex than money, Su Jishi learns to navigate between pleasure and commerce, as rebellions erupt just outside the city.At the crossroads of two of the greatest Chinese books-the aristocratic coming-of-age novel, The Story of the Stone (The Dream of the Red Chamber) and the military epic Outlaws of the Marsh-Mirage is panorama of libertines and concubines, lecherous monks and celibate soldiers, corrupt officials and drunken scholars. As entertaining as a bestseller, it is a hectic recreation of vanished mores and customs, and the life of a Chinese city as it was beginning to discover-and deal with-the rest of the world. Su Jishi, the adolescent son of the head of the Chinese traders' association, the men licensed to deal with foreign merchants in the port, is suddenly burdened with responsibility for his powerful family after his father's unexpected death.

Paperback. Condition: New. The young son of the head of the Chinese Traders' Association is burdened with responsibility for his powerful family upon his father's sudden death. A latter-day Baoyu, but with stronger sexual impulses, the son learns to tame his own libido and conduct himself prudently in Guangzhou society. This is the story of a comparatively little-knownand little-studied novel called Shenlou zhi, which is translated here for the first time. This strikingly original work develops the culture of adolescence that was first described in Honglou meng and also relishes the romantic conventions of Shuihu zhuan.
