Three Kingdoms - A Historical Novel
from ₱192.15
- Unit price
- / per
Великая историческая эпопея «Троецарствие» возглавляет список «Четырех классических романов» — наиболее знаменитых китайских произведений XIV—XVIII веков. В Китае это, пожалуй, самая популярная и любимая книга, но и на Западе «Троецарствие» до сих пор считается наиболее популярным китайским романом. В нем изображены события, относящиеся к III веку нашей эры, когда Китай распался на три самостоятельных царства, непрерывно воевавших между собой. Впрочем, «историческим» роман можно назвать с натяжкой: скорее, это невероятное переплетение множества сюжетов (читатель найдет здесь описания военных сражений, интриг, борьбы за власть, любовных перипетий и многого другого), где историческая достоверность сочетается с мифами и легендами Древнего Китая. В настоящем издании текст печатается по двухтомнику, выпущенному Государственным издательством художественной литературы в 1954 году, и сопровождается комментариями и классическими иллюстрациями китайских художников.

Chinese Stories in Times of Change
from ₱306.90
- Unit price
- / per
As the title of the collection suggests, David Wong's characters are mostly Chinese and their stories are set over the last fifty or so years, decades of dramatic and often terrifying change in China.Some, such as The Tennis Ball, depict pre-war Treaty Port life in China when, to a small boy from a poor Chinese family, a tennis ball seemed talismanic, symbolic of the leisured life of foreigners who could spend a whole afternoon hitting balls across nets whilst his mother, a servant aged before her time, worked for a pittance. For him, illusion was followed by disillusion but he was young enough to understand and learn.Learning, often from bitter experience, David Wong's characters seek resolution to eternal problems, sometimes complicated by external factors. Some do so with resignation, some with an admirable optimism.
