Publisher Description New to Penguin Classics for this important work of modern Chinese fictionLu Xun (Lu Hsun) is arguably the greatest writer of modern China, and is considered by many to be the founder of modern Chinese literature. Lu Xuns stories both indict outdated Chinese traditions and embrace Chinas cultural richness and individuality. This volume presents brand-new translations by Julia Lovell of all of Lu Xuns stories, including The Real Story of Ah-Q, Diary of a Madman, A Comedy of Ducks, The Divorce and A Public Example, among others. With an afterword by Yiyun Li. Author Biography Lu Xun (1881-1936) is one of the paradigmatic figures of twentieth-century Chinese literature. Despite his public commitment to Marxist literary ideals, Lu Xuns final years were spent mired in squabbles with the Chinese Communist Partys representatives of ideological orthodoxy. When he died he bequeathed to modern Chinese letters a contradictory legacy of cosmopolitan independence, polemical fractiousness and anxious patriotism that continues to resonate in Chinese intellectual life today.Julia Lovell is Queens College Research Fellow in Modern Chinese Literature and Cultural History.
