{"product_id":"nine-contemporary-chinese-novellas-yiqin-wu-9781487808112","title":"Nine Contemporary Chinese Novellas","description":"This volume of nine examples of modern fiction is one of the few devoted to the art of the novella. Able to go into more detailed storytelling beyond the short story, but shorter than full novels, these talented and award-winning writers give a full and accurate description of life in China today, where the society has many contradictions. These stories illuminate some of the problems and opportunities for the Chinese people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The stories cover a lot of ground: small, rural areas and their issues (\u003ci\u003eNuo Masks, Far Away, Kongse Forest Bathhouse\u003c\/i\u003e), sex, love, and romance (\u003ci\u003eVertigo, Night of Beasts, Past in the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e), aging (\u003ci\u003eFather\u003c\/i\u003e), old and new traditions (\u003ci\u003eTerra Flavausta\u003c\/i\u003e), and work, luxury, and social obligations (\u003ci\u003eThe Accident\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yiqin Wu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487808119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487808112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Collins Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Yiqin Wu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982674624767,"sku":"9781487808112","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06e88f10-a9a2-459e-bae1-b330d20d051e.jpg?v=1683262446","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nine-contemporary-chinese-novellas-yiqin-wu-9781487808112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
