Paperback. Very Good. From Publishers Weekly The Chinese Cultural Revolution lasted from 1966 to 1976, and reactions to it have dominated Chinese writing since. The so-called "Chinese Western" examines the impact of the Revolution on impoverished, isolated western China, regions profoundly entrenched in tradition. Each of the eight stylistically varied stories selected by Zhu Hong, a professor of American literature in Beijing who has also taught at Harvard, illuminates the bewilderment and undeniable courage of a people confronted by monumental change. In Jia Pingwua's nearly mythic "How Much Can a Man Bear?" the injustices of the Cultural Revolution are only a politicized form of existing enslavement: " 'Let me tell you,' " says a husband to his wife, " 'living, your body belongs to me, and dead, your ghost is mine!' " The urban student who narrates Zhu Xiaoping's "Chronicle of Mulberry Tree Village" observes a destitute rural village to which he has been sent for reeducation and concludes that its guileful inhabitants elude his ability to judge them. Wang Meng's "Anecdotes of Chairman Maimaiti" counters suffering with black humor; a failed author sentenced to labor "with writers he envied" jokes with them after Red Guards assault him for being an "evil liberal writer": " 'Who cares if you folks don't give me recognition! The people consider me a writer!' " One wishes stories by women had also been included, but with novel subjects, richly evoked settings and vivid, often poignant characterizations, this collection has wide appeal.

Hard Cover. original cloth No Jacket.ing in corner of front free page and very light damage to corners and spine of cover. No other markings in book. From the Introduction: In giving examples of historical knights and of chivalric literature, I have tried to let the works concerned speak for themselves, so that the reader can form his own impressions based on material as close to the original as possible. Many biographies, anecdotes, poems, and short tales are translated in full, while long prose romances and dramatic works are generally summarized. In no case have I attempted to retell the story in "modern" fashion to make it more interesting, or to alter details that might offend Western sensibility so as to render them more palatable, for this is intended to be an objective study. On the other hand, I have not refrained from making critical comments on works cited or described. 242pp.
