About This Novel

Fu Lei (April 7, 1908 - September 3, 1966) was a famous Chinese translator, writer, educator, and art critic. In his early years, he studied abroad at the University of Paris in France. He has translated a large number of French works, including works by Balzac, Romain Rolland, Voltaire and other famous writers. In the early 1960s, Fu Lei was admitted as a member of the French Balzac Research Society for his outstanding contributions in translating Balzac's works. Mr. Fu Lei has been translating Hong Fu throughout his life, and his translation career lasted for thirty years. His translations are characterized by expressiveness, smooth writing, rich word use, and good color changes. The three novellas of "Colonel Chabe", "Honorine" and "Prohibition of Confinement" all take the tragedy between husband and wife as their theme. Three men with outstanding moral character and outstanding personality encountered a cruel fate. For the sake of vanity, enjoyment, money, and status, a wife will not hesitate to do harm and call her husband an idiot ("Prohibition on Property"); or even accuse her husband of being an impostor and want to put him to death ("Colonel Chabe"). Honorina was the purest and most serious of the three women, but because she pursued fanciful love and had impossible extravagant expectations for life, she eventually caused an irreparable tragedy and died together with her husband.
