About This Novel
Mr. Okuno began giving continuous lectures on "Twelve Chapters on Chinese Literature" on Japan's NHK radio station in 1964. Later, his students compiled, edited and published the book "Interesting Talk about Chinese Literature Classics" based on the lecture content. This book selects translations of the best works and tells the story of Chinese literary classics from past dynasties. Mr. Okuno talked from "The Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" to "Water Margin" and "Red Mansions", from the prose of the Six Dynasties to poetry and drama, from the legends of the Tang Dynasty to the chapters of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, from "Journey to the West" to "The Plum in the Golden Vase", from Wang Zhaojun to the White Snake, from Wang Yanhong to Lin Yutang... From this we can see the overall development of Chinese literature, and appreciate the most colorful chapters. Mr. Okuno's personalized and interesting interpretation and colorful pen and ink bring a new voice and color to Chinese literary classics.
