Diary of a Madman (Little Blue Book Volume 1)
by Written By Lu Xun Chief Editor Yang Xiao
About This Novel
"Diary of a Madman" contains 12 short stories written by Mr. Lu Xun, which profoundly reflect the current situation of Chinese social life from the end of the 19th century to the 1920s, and describe the rural life and style under the background of the Revolution of 1911, as well as the fate of struggling intellectuals. Among them, "Diary of a Madman" pioneered modern vernacular novels in China, and laid the foundation for modern Chinese novel creation. By shaping the image of the persecuted "madman" and the self-narrative description of the "madman", the novel reveals the "cannibalistic" nature of feudal ethics, profoundly criticizes China's feudal culture, and expresses the author's eagerness for change and the urgency to cry out for the times.
