The Plum in the Golden Vase or, Chin P'ing Mei is an anonymous sixteenth-century work that focuses on the domestic life of Hsi-men Ch'ing, a corrupt, upwardly mobile merchant in a provincial town, who maintains a harem of six wives and concubines. The novel, known primarily for its erotic realism, is also a landmark in the development of the narrative art form--not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but in a world-historical context. This complete and annotated translation aims to faithfully represent and elucidate all the rhetorical features of the original in its most authentic form and thereby enable the Western reader to appreciate this Chinese masterpiece at its true worth.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: FictionBook Series: Princeton Library of Asian TranslationsTopic: Classic Fiction, Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
