Loulun

The novellas and stories included in the collection "Loulun" are based on events from the "Historical Notes" — an ancient monument of Chinese culture, dated to the 1st century BC. However, blending the Chinese foundation with Japanese artistic tradition and original plots, Yasushi Inoue creates completely original works.
On the pages of the collection, myths and legends intertwine, magical tales and historical chronicles come to life, semi-wild nomads and powerful military leaders, imperial concubines and fairy-tale princesses — all become heroes of captivating stories about duty and honor, love and hatred, loyalty and betrayal, the rise and fall of entire states.
Some stories are published in Russian for the first time!
