About This Novel

This book is a collection of short stories by Japanese writer Atsushi Nakajima. Each chapter in the book is based on Chinese classics, such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Lieh Tzu", "Historical Records", "Journey to the West" and Tang Dynasty Legends. Atsushi Nakajima borrows the shell of Chinese classics and injects modern ideology. He opens up his imagination in the blank spaces and gaps of Chinese classics to create strange worlds that are both true and illusory, presenting the human nature and modernity in classical stories. Atsushi Nakajima focuses on expressing the loneliness and nihilism of modern people. The protagonists in his works usually fall into self-pulling situations. However, while expressing the plight of the human spirit, they also provide a way out, gradually establishing the order of their own inner world, defeating nihility in action, and re-establishing their complete self. "Mountain Moon", with its sincerity, thoroughness, profoundness and sharpness, has become a book of warning, a book of answers and a book of life for countless literary and artistic young people.
