These 62 essays--20 translated for the first time--showcase his versatility as a master of prose forms and his brilliance as a cultural critic.

Reviews
Jottings under Lamplight is a long-awaited, well-curated selection of some of Lu Xun's best essays. It lays bare his ambivalence and uncertainty, rather than glossing over them...Lu Xun was a master of high snark...In this collection [his] vicious little gems shine...Lu Xun remains largely unknown among English-language readers, but hopefully increasing access to his works will generate more interest in one of the 20th century's most influential figures., Cheng and Denton make [an] important addition to the literature by showing English readers Lu Xun's brilliance as an essayist. The book comprises 62 of Lu Xun's essays, translated into English by some of the best scholars in the field., Editors Cheng and Denton have assembled an often searing and sometimes startling collection of essays by renowned early 20th-century Chinese author Lu Xun...Animating every essay is Lu Xun's deeply felt humanity. He relentlessly points out cruelty, be it a circus company half-starving a bear on gruel or the murder of dissident writers. While some essays are slight, the totality adds up to a portrait of a country struggling with uncertainty and transition, a picture just as relevant to the West today as to early-20th-century China., Offers readers insight into one of the most prolific and tormented minds of twentieth-century Chinese letters. The essays in Jottings reveal Lu Xun's responses to the political and cultural issues of the day, and are a record as well as an analysis of China's modern dilemma: a country enmeshed in its abiding Confucian traditions of autocracy and hierarchy while aspiring to be an equal to the great world civilization...It is timely to encounter these works today, for although the People's Republic is anything but voiceless under Xi Jinping, it has paradoxically become silent., Jottings under Lamplight makes an invaluable contribution to the study of modern China and modern world literature. This collection brings some of Lu Xun's best-known essays together with occasional writings that capture his brilliance as a scholar and his biting wit as an observer of culture and politics.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!
