This book conducts a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of Franz
Kafka's relation to China. Commencing with an examination of the
myriad Chinese cultural influences to which Kafka was exposed, it
goes on to explore the ways in which they manifest themselves in
canonical stories, such as Description of A Struggle, The Great
Wall of China, and An Old Manuscript. This leads the way to
thought-provoking comparative studies of Kafka and major Chinese
writers and philosophers, such as Zhuang Tzu, Pu Songling, Qian
Zhongshu, and Lu Xun. Highlighting kindred philosophical concepts,
shared aesthetic tastes, and parallel narrative strategies, these
comparisons transcend mere textual analysis, to explore the
profound cultural, historical, and philosophical implications of
Kafka's works. Finally, the book turns to an examination Kafka's
impact on modern life in China, including its translation studies,
literature, and even its mass culture.
