Story of the Stone Volume 1 Golden Days

by Xueqin Cao

Story of the Stone Volume 1 Golden Days Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Divided into five volumes, The Story of the Stone charts the glory and decline of the illustrious Jia family. This novel re-creates the ritualized hurly-burly of Chinese family life that would otherwise be lost and infuses it with affirming Buddhist belief.

Synopsis:

Considered one of the greatest works of Chinese literature, this five-part story charts the changing fortunes of the Jia family. It sets worldly events - love affairs, sibling rivalries, even murder - within the context of the Buddhist understanding that karma determines the shape of our lives.

Synopsis:

One of the greatest novels of Chinese literature.
