Book Synopsis A Collection of Ancient Chinese Stories by : Chi Him Chiu
Book excerpt: The fifty-nine stories in this book, many translated here for the first time and presented in chronological order, span 2,117 years, from the Han Dynasty (206 B.C to A.D. 220) to the Qing Dynasty (1644 to 1911). Legendary or historical, the characters play out their lives in imaginary or real landscapes that detail significant events in ancient Chinese history. For both aficionados and those new to Chinese classical literature, these tales will entertain as well as give an understanding of the background of later literary works.
