Description
CAO XUEQIN (1715 or 1724 - 1763 or 1764) was a Chinese writer during the Qing dynasty. He is best known for THE DREAM OF THE RED CHAMBER (also translated as A Dream of Red Mansions and Story of the Stone), generally acknowledged to be the pinnacle of Chinese fiction and one of the great monuments of world literature.
The novel is believed to be semi-autobiographical, mirroring the rise and decline of Cao Xueqin's own family and, by extension, of the Qing Dynasty. As the author details in the first chapter, it is intended to be a memorial to the damsels he knew in his youth: friends, relatives and servants. The book is remarkable not only for its huge cast of characters and psychological scope, but also for its precise and detailed observation of the life and social structures typical of 18th-century Chinese society.
Five English translations are included here, notably the complete English rendering by David Hawkes and John Minford, published in five volumes (1973-1986).
