Discover – or rediscover – the remarkable achievements of Chinese culture and civilization. Great Books of China presents concise introductions – each accompanied by generous quotation (in English) from the book in question – to sixty-six works in the canon of Chinese literature. The books chosen reflect the chronological and thematic breadth of Chinese literary tradition, ranging from such classics as The Book of Songs and the Confucian Analects, through popular dramas and novels (The Romance of the Western Chamber; The Water Margin), twentieth-century political and biographical works (Quotations from Chairman Mao, the autobiography of the last emperor), and modern novels that are little known in the West (Memories of South Peking, Six Chapters from a Cadre School Life).
