Read the "Time" magazine review about "the most significant
Penguin Classic ever published."
In the early twentieth century, as China came up against the
realities of the modern world, Lu Xun effected a shift in Chinese
letters away from the ornate, obsequious literature of the
aristocrats to the plain, expressive literature of the masses. His
celebrated short stories assemble a powerfully unsettling portrait
of the superstition, poverty, and complacency that he perceived in
late imperial China and in the revolutionary republic that toppled
the last dynasty in 1911. This volume presents Lu Xun's complete
fiction in bracing new translations and includes such famous works
as "The Real Story of Ah-q," "Diary of a Madman," and "The
Divorce." Together they expose a contradictory legacy of
cosmopolitan independence, polemical fractiousness, and anxious
patriotism that continues to resonate in Chinese intellectual life
today.
