Description

The Real Story of Ah-Q and Other Tales of China by Lu Xun is a powerful collection of short stories that expose the complexities of late imperial China and the revolutionary republic that followed. In these bracing tales, Lu Xun assembles a unsettling portrait of superstition, poverty, and complacency, revealing a legacy that continues to resonate in Chinese intellectual life today.

Translated into English for the first time, this volume presents Lu Xun's complete fiction in new translations, including famous works such as "The Real Story of Ah-q," "Diary of a Madman," and "The Divorce." This Penguin Classics edition provides authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
