Produktinformationen "Chinese Fairy Tales"

Chinese Fairy Tales gathers a compact yet resonant body of traditional Chinese wonder narratives: encounters with spirits, moral reversals, supernatural justice, uncanny transformations, and the elegant interventions of sages, demons, and immortals. Rendered in a lucid Edwardian prose, the tales preserve the brevity, irony, and didactic poise characteristic of classical Chinese anecdotal literature, while placing them within the broader late-nineteenth-century European fascination with folklore, comparative mythology, and the imaginative riches of East Asia. Herbert Allen Giles was one of the most influential British sinologists of his generation, a diplomat in Qing China, later professor of Chinese at Cambridge, and co-creator of the Wade-Giles romanization system. His long residence in China and philological command of literary sources shaped his desire to mediate Chinese culture for English readers, though his translations also bear the assumptions and stylistic habits of his imperial-era milieu. This volume is recommended to readers interested in folklore, translation history, and the cross-cultural reception of Chinese literature. It offers not only charming and strange stories, but also a revealing document of how Chinese narrative tradition entered the Anglophone literary imagination.
