Zhou Zuoren: Selected Essays: Chinese-English Bilingual Edition
ISBN: 9789629961985 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Zhou Zuoren (1885-1967), the brother of writer Lu Xun, was one of the most controversial intellectuals in modern China. Radically at odds with many of his contemporaries, Zhou opposed the May Fourth reformers. His work was banned in both mainland China and Taiwan for many years as a result of his collaboration with the Japanese puppet government during the Sino-Japanese War. This collection of essays presents an alternative vision of China as a nation, questioning the dichotomy between modernity and tradition and espousing a literary style that values openness and individualism.

From a Cottager's Sketchbook: Chinese-English Bilingual Edition
ISBN: 9789629962180 / Chiński / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Liang Shih-chiu (1903-1987), a literary critic and theorist of many talents, was the first person to translate the complete works of Shakespeare into Chinese. Literary historians remember him chiefly for his conservative leanings and his infamous "war of words" with Lu Xun, the acknowledged leader of leftist writers in the 1930s. From a Cottager's Sketchbook highlights Liang's versatility and literary style. The essays deal with familiar and timeless topics, tempering social satire of postwar China with light humor. At a time when the common cry was "to write as one would speak," and a...
