Riassunto

An exceptional copy: softcover in slipcase. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new and still in the publisher's protective shrink-wrap.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 432 pages; Description: 28 x 25 cm. 432 p. with hundreds of partly colour illus. Summary: 'Hong Lou Meng' is internationally the best known of China's literary masterpieces. It was written in the middle of the 18th century during the Qing Dynasty. It is considered a masterpiece of Chinese literature and is generally acknowledged to be the pinnacle of Chinese fiction. 'Dream of the Red Chamber', as the title is now most often rendered in english, has resonance with many readers, even those unfamiliar with chinese literature. More importantly, this long, involved, imaginative romance has attracted interminable controversy, because of the novel's ability to conjure the historical period when it was written, because of the intricaty of its story-telling and most importantly, because of its artistic quality.
