The Travels of Lao Ts'an - Liu T'ieh-yun - Hardcover

'œSince the novel translated here may justly be characterized as one of the great novels of the Chinese literary tradition, it is fortunate that it has been put into English by so competent a hand as the professor of Chinese literature at Cornell University. Written in the years 1904-07 by a Chinese scholar and official of unusual versatility and skill, these Travels throw a powerful light on both the dark and bright aspects of Chinese officialdom in the closing years of the Manchu dynasty.'' U.S. Quarterly Book ReviewLiu, E. is the author of 'The Travels of Lao Ts'an - Liu T'ieh-yun - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780313251641 and ISBN 0313251649.
