It is a long poem in a complex metric and rhyme scheme that is distinctively Vietnamese. Vladislav Zhukov here provides the first English-language translation, perfectly conveying the poetic form of the original work and thereby producing a literary creation in English that is equivalent to Nguyen Du's genius in Vietnamese--one that can be appreciated as poetry in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nguyen Du\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877277907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877277903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southeast Asia Program Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.13w x 0.55d","brand":"Nguyen Du","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947435950335,"sku":"9780877277903","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d833fff9-eb20-4330-b68b-71b66f619e2c.jpg?v=1681518713","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-kim-van-kieu-of-nguyen-du-9780877277903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
