About This Novel

Xu Zhimo is a famous Crescent poet, essayist and translator in my country. In his early years, he studied in the United Kingdom and the United States, and his collections such as "Zhimo's Poems", "A Night on the Green Green", "The Tiger", and "Wandering" absorbed the writing techniques of Romantics such as Byron, Shelley, Keats, and Hardy. The words are beautiful and imaginative, showing the tendency of aestheticism and idealism. In particular, he advocated the rhythm of new poetry with Wen Yiduo and Zhu Xiang, and became a dazzling star in the modern poetry world. Xu Zhimo is also a famous essayist. His works such as "Falling Leaves", "Self-dissection", "Les Claws in Paris" and his diary, as well as letters with Lu Xiaoman, are full of deep feelings and clear words. Whether he is talking about social life, lyrical feelings or travel notes, they are all imbued with the author's true nature as a poet and are an indispensable page in modern prose creation. Translations also occupy a large space in the "Complete Works". Most of the translated works are works by famous writers from Western countries. Except for Voltaire's "Candide", which has a new translation, most of the others have not been re-translated. Therefore, these translations still have irreplaceable value. "The Complete Works of Xu Zhimo" was compiled by two sages, Chiang Fuchong, the former director of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, China, and the famous scholar Liang Shiqiu, and was praised by Ms. Zhang Youyi. As the editor of "The Complete Works of Xu Zhimo" said in the preface, there are countless mistakes and corruptions in the reprints of Xu Zhimo's selected works and complete works. In 1967, Ms. Zhang Youyi took the opportunity of visiting Taiwan to ask Mr. Jiang Fucong and Mr. Liang Shiqiu to take charge of the matter. Mr. Xu spent a year collecting the works of her late father from various university libraries in the United States.
