Discover – or rediscover – the major achievements of Chinese
culture and civilization. Great Books of China offers concise
introductions – each of them accompanied by generous quotation
(in English) from the book in question – to sixty-six works in
the canon of Chinese literature. The books chosen reflect the
chronological and thematic breadth of Chinese literary tradition,
ranging from such classics as The Book of Songs and the Confucian
Analects, through popular dramas and novels (The Romance of the
Western Chamber; The Water Margin), twentieth-century political and
biographical works (Quotations from Chairman Mao, the autobiography
of the last emperor) and modern novels that are little known in the
West (Memories of South Peking, Six Chapters from a Cadre School
Life). Frances Wood presents a comprehensive, accessible and richly
informative primer for the uninitiated; a box of delights that
opens up an entire literary culture to the inquisitive reader.
