"The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is a masterpiece of English literature written by the great Dutch sinologist, diplomat, and novelist Goluope. It took 15 years to complete and has a total of 16 novels and 8 short stories. Taking Di Renjie, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in China, as the protagonist, it describes Di's legendary experience as an official in prefectures, counties and the capital to resolve cases and eliminate harm among the people. The stories are diverse, the cases are dangerous, the plots are gripping, and the answers are compelling. The author's character Di Gong is very different from the traditional Chinese public case novel "The Grand Master in the Blue Sky". He has a unique case-handling style: emphasizing efficiency over discipline, emphasizing ethics but being adaptable, emphasizing investigation and reasoning over subjective judgments. Di Renjie solves cases like a god and is called the Sherlock Holmes of ancient China by Western readers. This volume includes a total of five stories: "Chaoyun Temple", "Frogs in the Lotus Pond", "The Case of the Bronze Bell", "The Black Fox" and "The Case of the Royal Pearl".
Reader comments
The translator's writing style is also first-class. The Chinese version of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" presented to us is a perfect combination of Chinese and Western works.
The design is exquisite, and Coperot's astonishing language talent is breathtaking. The translator's translation has also achieved the ultimate in fidelity, expressiveness and elegance. Although the reasoning is slightly flawed, it is still a good book. At least so far, I think it is one of the best mystery detective novels I have ever read. The classics such as The Four Sided Screen can compete with Sherlock Holmes's Four Signs and the Blood Mark.
The cases are intertwined, making it fascinating to read. It can be regarded as an excellent novel.
The structure of the book is rigorous, the writing is incisive and capable, and the story is full of ups and downs, making people want to read it! Each chapter is independent and makes you unable to put it down.
Di Renjie, here lacks some historical magnificence, but has a lot more rich human touch! It's very touching!
I hope there will be more Duke Di like this in China during the prosperous times. Wouldn't the Chinese people be very lucky!
I rarely read detective novels, but occasionally I came across this book, which really attracted me. I remember the last book I couldn't put down, The Kite Runner. I have always liked the Tang Dynasty. In my impression, the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled in its splendor, like a warm and shining jade. The Case of Di Gong in the Tang Dynasty deeply attracted me, and maybe I will come back to it again in the future.
Dee Renjie is so amazing at judging cases. I really like reading his novels.
I watched it when I was young, and I watched it again decades ago, with different perspectives and perceptions, but it is still a classic, and it is still fascinating.
It's so exciting, with rigorous structure, meticulous logic, and complexity. I can't stop reading it.
Beautiful, very exciting
It's nice to read, but ancient Chinese writing written by foreigners looks awkward.
Ups and downs, strong logical reasoning
I really like this book, it's worth recommending
I love reading all the mystery novels about Di Renjie, they are confusing and interlocking. The plot is vivid and unexpectedly beautiful!
Beautiful writing, twists and turns in the plot, worth reading
Well written and beautiful
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can be glimpsed, the characters are vividly drawn, and the cases are well-proportioned
Highly recommended! The plot is intense and intense, and the language is elegant and gorgeous!
