Trade Paperback. Condición: New. 1st Edition. MINT - a NEW copy. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 206 pages. Contains 23 essays. Lu Xun (1881-1936) published A Madman's Diary (1918) at the height of a Nietzsche craze in China. His creative genius, powerful intellect and writing style, and profound erudition in Western philosophy and literature, contributed to his effortlessly writing this first example of 'modern Chinese literature'. This short story was 'modern' because it was written in the vernacular language instead of the classical Chinese language, it addressed contemporary issues, and it was informed by modern Western literary models. This book is a collection of essays by Australian writers and/or academics arising from their connections with or inspiration from Lu Xun.…

Remaining interior in very good condition.; Catalogue from the exhibition New Songs on Ancient Tunes: 19th-20th Century Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Richard Fabian Collection, organized by the Honolulu Academy of Arts and presented at the museum from August 30 to October 28, 2007.; This catalogue introduces Chinese painting and calligraphy from a revolutionary period in recent history-the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This period encompasses the fall of the Qing (Ch'ing) dynasty, the establishment of the Republic of China under Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek, and the founding of the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung). Chinese art of these two centuries witnessed a remarkable series of transformations, seen here through the prism of the Richard Fabian Collection, an extraordinary group of over two hundred works, many published here for the first time. Painting and calligraphy are easily the most sophisticated of all Chinese art forms. New Songs on Ancient Tunes focuses on the recent history of these two art forms from several vantage points: the significance of regional centers of artistic production, the impact of political and economic upheaval, the special relationship between painting and calligraphy extending back to antiquity, and the human stories of artists and patrons that bring these remarkable works to life. New Songs on Ancient Tunes explores a broad range of subjects, providing the contemporary viewer with a vehicle to better grasp the larger story of China's classical calligraphy and painting traditions as well as basic aspects of Chinese culture and identity. Conservative tendencies in late Qing painting, the concurrent fascination with archaeology and epigraphy that provoked a revolution in calligraphic theory and practice, the Shanghai School, the so-called Epigraphic School or Movement in northern and southern China, the Lingnan School of Canton, and the experiences of Chinese artists in Europe and Japan in the late Qing and early Republic periods are only a few of this new study's key focal points.…
