'Our passion was so great. Will the Old Man understand and help us
once again?' The Old Man of the Moon is Shen Fu's intimate and
moving account of his marriage - from early passion to the trials
of poverty and separation - and his great, enduring love for his
wife in eighteenth-century China. Introducing Little Black
Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black
Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin
Classics, with books from around the world and across many
centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London
to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to
16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories
lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and
inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.
Shen Fu (born c. 1763). Shen Fu's work is available in Penguin
Classics in Six Records of a Floating Life.
