In this first of a planned five-volume set, 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 Hsi-men Ch'ing, a corrupt, upwardly mobile
merchant in a provincial town, 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 the narrative art
form--not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but in a
world-historical context.
