Andre Levy provides a "picture of Chinese literature of the
past" that brilliantly illustrates the four great literary genres
of China: the classics, prose, poetry, and the literature of
entertainment. His discussion of approximately 120 vivid
translations combines personal insights with innovative historical
accounts in a genre-based approach that moves beyond the typical
chronology of dynasties. Renowned scholar William H. Nienhauser,
Jr., translated Levy s work from the French and returned to the
original Chinese for the texts. This informative, engaging, and
eminently readable introduction to the three millennia of
traditional Chinese literature is highly recommended for students
and general readers."
