The "Kim Van Kieu" of Nguyen Du, written in the early nineteenth
century and commonly considered to be a defining masterpiece of
Vietnamese literature, is the story of an educated and beautiful
young woman who suffers misfortune and degradation before obtaining
justice and peace. It is a long poem in a complex metric and rhyme
scheme that is distinctively Vietnamese. Vladislav Zhukov here
provides the first English-language translation, perfectly
conveying the poetic form of the original work and thereby
producing a literary creation in English that is equivalent to
Nguyen Du's genius in Vietnamese one that can be appreciated as
poetry in English."
