Series Statement:
How to read Chinese literature
Content:
"This book serves as the Chinese language learner's version of our How to Read Chinese Prose: A Guided Anthology. Here, the editors present 40 prose texts (excerpts or full) in the original over thirty-four lessons, organized by genre into eight units. The sequence of these units reflects the successive emergence of eight major prose genres, while the lessons in each unit showcase that genre's prominent achievements through different historical periods. Readers of this book will gain exposure to the rich legacy of Chinese prose, with additional insight that comes from approaching texts in their original language. Comprehension and appreciation of selected texts is aided by notes on their historical and cultural contexts as well as by commentaries on their unique artistic features. These literary commentaries are provided by twelve contributors, all experts on individual prose genres. Famous, oft-quoted idioms and remarks are highlighted by shading and should be learned by heart"--
