W. Somerset Maugham: Collected Short Stories: Volume 1
Автор:W. Somerset Maugham Год: 1992 Издание:Penguin Books Ltd. Страниц: 448 ISBN: 9780140185898 China has been a wellspring of storytelling for over 2,000 years. Sadly, this fantastic literature is little known in the west outside the halls of academia, though a handful of recent 20th century authors have attained a respectable following. The stories in this volume date from the sixth century A.D. to the early part of the 20th century, and will give the listener a good feel for the subject. Astonishingly, the Chinese enjoyed from the earliest times many of the genres we take for granted today, from romance and love to adventure and satire.
