Publisher Description

Twelve Towers is a collection of a dozen vernacular Chinese short stories by the renowned seventeenth century fiction writer, dramatist, and drama critic Li Yu, often identified by his tzu, Li Li-weng (1611-1680). It presents a vivid and realistic picture of Chinese society in the seventeenth century and a wide-ranging yet detailed study of characters with the traditional themes of Chinese fiction. These are stories of idyllic charm, bedroom farce and innocent romance. These features have made the collection immensely popular in China. Now Nathan Mao and Weiting R. Mao have rendered the twelve stories into modern English for the benefit of a larger audience. Li Yu, a renowned seventeenth century fiction writer, dramatist, and drama critic, often identified by his tzu, Li Li-weng (1611-1680).

《十二楼(双语版)(套装共2册)》集小说12篇,每篇长短不一,各分回目。每篇小说在内容上本无联系,因作者在各篇都用一座楼作为展开故事的重要环节,所以取《十二楼》为其总名。其情节布局求新出奇,叙述语言生动流利,人物形象婉妙逼真。李渔是清初喜剧创作的大师,他在《笠翁十种曲》中所显示的那种幽默和轻快,同样也体现在这本短篇小说集中。
