Liu Bannong was a pioneer of China's New Culture Movement, but in the early days of his literary career, he wrote a certain number of detective novels in vernacular and classical Chinese under the pseudonym "Bannong" and other pen names, and participated in the translation of many foreign detective works.
"Collection of Liu Bannong's Detective Novels" includes the short detective novels "Dagger" and "Tan'e" in the "Catching Lao Wang" series written by Liu Bannong, the vernacular detective novel "Wig" based on his early experience in the New Drama Club, and the "Holmes Detective" imitation "Holmes Failed" (a total of five cases), showing the characteristics of Chinese detective novels in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting! Especially the detective story in it, with its twists and turns, reminded me of the feeling of listening to elders telling stories when I was a child. Moreover, I think these stories are not only entertaining but also make people think. Just like Sherlock Holmes in the book, I really admire his observation and reasoning abilities. I think we can also observe and think more in life, and maybe we can solve many problems! Do you feel this way?
