520 1 $a"Lao She's stories proved to be very good indeed, moving and delighting readers for many years and establishing him as a master of classic modern fiction. Thankfully we now have access to a rich collection of his short stories in superb English translations. These stories showcase the varied facets of Lao She's impressive talent and draw us effortlessly into his world - and we emerge the better for it."--BOOK JACKET.
520 8 $a"A plate of steaming dumplings, the gleam of gold-capped front teeth, rickshaws dragging along alleys, punishing winter winds, rolls of bright silk, a pair of chopsticks - these things are the stuff of Lao She's fiction and the essence of his metaphors, and he cherishes such little details of life more than the abstractions of politics or philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
