Selected Novels of Chekhov Translated by Ru Long (translation Series by Chinese Translators)

(russian) Chekhov

381K0

"Selected Novels of Chekhov" is the essence of Anton Chekhov's (1860-1904) novels. Chekhov is good at capturing the absurdity and depth of human nature in trivial daily life: the hypocrisy of bureaucrats ("Chameleon"), the spiritual dilemma of intellectuals ("Ward Six"), and the humble struggles of small people ("Affliction"). His words are as precise as a scalpel, which not only satirizes the numbness and decay of society ("The Man in the Trap"), but also injects poetic sadness into ordinary life ("The Woman with a Puppy"). The work abandons preaching and uses "objective presentation" to allow readers to understand the intertwining of hope and despair on their own. It is hailed as a model of modern short stories and influenced later generations such as Kafka and Lu Xun. Rulong's translation of Chekhov is a faithful reproduction of Chekhov's concise style. The translation is clean and neat, avoiding lengthy procrastination, and accurately conveys Chekhov's literary soul. Our company owns the exclusive copyright.

Selected Short Stories by Hu Yepin

"Selected Short Stories by Hu Yepin" includes more than ten classic works such as "The Fool", "Live Beads", "Fighting", "Cat" and "Father", which outlines the deformed picture of the old society in old China with sharp strokes. The anthology includes the absurd tragedy of a plasterer who was killed due to superstitious rumors in "Living Beads", the tearing struggle of human nature under the violent conflicts in rural areas in "Armed Fight", and the bloody and tearful indictment of warlords trampling on the countryside in "A Village". Hu Yepin has excellent writing style and sharp perspective. He is very good at cutting in from the bottom perspective. Works such as "Parents" and "Pearl Earrings" will allow you to fully see and feel the oppression of individuals by the feudal patriarchal system; works such as "Drunk Madness", "Little Man" and "Bargain" highlight the soul trauma of those who are insulted and harmed. Hu's writing combines Lu Xun's cold irony with the revolutionary passion of left-wing literature, such as the close-up of the idiot waiter in "The Idiot" and the use of symbolic techniques to metaphor the spiritual dilemma of intellectuals in "The Snow-White Parrot". These works not only continue the realistic concerns of the May Fourth "Issue Novels", but also have a clear class consciousness and humanitarian stance, which have become a heavy blow in criticizing the old society in modern Chinese literature. They are hearty to read and full of aftertaste.

Mu Shiying's "Black Whirlwind" is one of his early representative works of popular literature. It was first included in the novel collection "North and South Pole". It takes the violent resistance and emotional dilemma of the bottom workers as the core, and presents a distinct color of social criticism. The novel tells the story of the worker "Black Tornado" and his sworn brother Wang from a first-person perspective. Brother Wang admires Wu Song in "Water Margin", compares himself to Liangshan heroes, and falls in love with Xiao Yu'er, the daughter of the dairy shed owner. However, Xiao Yuer was pursued by college students in the town and gradually alienated Brother Wang. Black Tornado witnessed his brother being cuckolded, and out of anger, he beat Xiao Yuer and the college student in public, and was eventually arrested by the patrol police and jailed for three months. This plot of the novel continues the narrative pattern of "failed resistance to oppression" in the author's earlier works - under the double blow of material deprivation and emotional betrayal, men at the bottom choose to vent their emotions through violence. However, violence did not change their fate, and their final imprisonment only strengthened the unshakable nature of class oppression; such tragedies will only be repeated in the future. This episode also includes "Reiko" and "The Man Used as a Pastime", overlaying the theme of emotional alienation. The survival plight of lower-class workers highlighted throughout the article is still a warning to read today.

"Selected Short Stories by Xu Dishan" contains nine excellent works, which use profound writing to outline the complexity of human nature and the tenacity of life in troubled times. "Spring Peach" is set against the background of war, depicting the courage of an independent and courageous woman to survive in the gap between tradition and reality, and showing the power of women's awakening. "Business Woman" reveals the salvation of the soul by the spirit of Christian fraternity under marital betrayal and cultural conflict through the ups and downs of the Nanyang Chinese who cherish their official positions, embodying the integration of religion and human nature. "The Gills of the Iron Fish" portrays the tragic image of the scientist Mr. Lei, using the "Gills of the Iron Fish" to symbolize the disillusionment of the ideal of scientific national salvation and the loneliness and perseverance of intellectuals in turbulent times. There are sharp criticisms of social hypocrisy in the book, such as "In Prime Minister Fei's Living Room", and bitter satires on intellectuals - "The Three Doctors" uses the vanity of those who have returned from studying abroad as a mirror to reflect the exaggeration of the times. "Mother of All Creations" depicts the persistence of motherhood and the cruelty of war machines through the mental trance of a mother who lost her only child during the war. "The Lone Star on the Cape" uses the life and death of a poor couple to tell the story of the impermanence of fate and the poignancy of love. Xu Dishan is an erudite and "spiritual" writer who integrates religious philosophy into narratives, such as the questions about life and death in "After Dusk" and "Farewell", which have a spiritual depth that spans a hundred years.
