This is the first comprehensive collection of twentieth-century Chinese literature. It covers genres from both before and after the Communist takeover in 1949. With a generation selection of new translations commissioned for this volume, here is the best short fiction, poetry, and essays from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Including a lucid introduction by the editors and short biographies of the writers and poets, this anthology expertly guides readers to a better understanding of Chinese society and culture.
