Summary: About the hardships faced by peasants of rural China
Review: The Field Of Life And Death & Tales Of Hulun River is a revised edition of Howard Goldblatt's excellent translation of two classic works by Chinese author Xiao Hong (1911-1942), China's first feminist novelist. The ravages of poverty, war, and Japanese imperialism are unflinchingly portrayed in this memorable and vivid work. Highly recommended for personal and academic literary and Asian Studies collections, Lu Xun's original preface (in translation), a new translator's preface, and a revised introduction by Howard Goldblatt set apart this edition of eye-opening stories about the hardships faced by peasants of rural China.
