This boxed set contains four volumes of "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Cao Xueqin and E. Gao. The hardcover format and English language make it accessible to a wide audience. Published by Beijing Foreign Languages Press in 2001, this literary collection is a must-have for those interested in Asian and Chinese topics. The book measures 7 inches in length and 4 inches in width.
Also known as "The Story of the Stone", this is one of China's most famous classic novels. I love these boxed sets (just wish my order had included the box, but that's a minor point). I have not read it yet (it's 2500 pages!) but from what I've heard of it, it is an intricate story of Chinese manners in the 1700's. It is about youth and love and lifestyles then. This is NOT an adventure story, but its content still seems to inspire controversy among its Chinese readers; and it endures as one of China's great novels.
