The Pearl Shirt. Chinese Novels

Discount

The end of the 16th – the first half of the 17th century is rightly called the "golden age" of the folk tale in the history of Chinese literature. Chinese scholars of that time made great efforts to search for... and collect examples of stories in the huaben genre across the country. This edition includes stories from five known collections of that time. The tales of "The Pearl Shirt" are astonishing, worthy of being recorded for long times: here are love-romantic tales and detective stories, everyday cases and accounts of legendary friendships of the ancients, historical works and true fantasy, - a kind of Chinese Decameron.
