About the Book

Lu Xun (1881–1936) is widely considered the greatest writer of twentieth-century China. Although primarily known for his two slim volumes of short fiction, he was a prolific, inventive essayist. 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.
