Abstract |
"This volume contains new translations of two of Lu Xun's most brilliant works beyond his short stories. Wild Grass is a collection of twenty-three experimental pieces, in which humans encounter ghosts, talking animals, sentient plants, and come face-to-face with their own corpses. In his depiction of the struggle of creatures to survive in an inhospitable world, Lu Xun poses the following question: What does it mean to be human? The eight essays collected in Morning Blossoms Gathered at Dusk depict experiences that shaped the life of the literary master. The characters, lives, and dreams of a motley cast of characters-the child, the servant, the dying, the outcast-figure in Lu Xun's memoir. Morning Blossoms affirms the meaning of lives, shining light on our common human predicament: of being without a home in the world"-- Provided by publisher. |
