Old Stories Retold explores the ways modern Chinese narratives dramatize and embody the historical sense that links them to the past and to the Chinese literary tradition. Largely guided by Walter Benjamin’s discussions of history, G. Andrew Stuckey looks at the ways Chinese narrative engages a historical process that pieces together fragments of the past into new configurations to better serve present needs. By examining intertextual connections between separate texts, Stuckey seeks to discover traces of an “original,” whether it be thought of as the past, history, or tradition, when it has been rewritten in modern and contemporary Chinese fiction. Old Stories Retold shows how the articulation of the past into new historical configurations disrupts accepted understandings of the past, and as such, can be intentionally pitted against modernist historical knowledge to resist the modernist ends that this knowledge is mobilized to achieve.

Vivian Manasc, one of the founders of Manasc Isaac Architects, has pioneered sustainable architecture in Canada. Her work in partnership with Indigenous communities has been her greatest inspiration, and it has transformed the very nature of her practice. Through the profound lessons of the seven Grandfather Teachings, Vivian came to understand that the process of planning and designing a building should be a circle, with the beginning and end of the story linked together. The stories Vivian tells in Old Stories, New Ways are also framed by these teachings of Courage, Love, Wisdom, Respect, Truth, Humility and Honesty, with each teaching illuminating an aspect of how working with Dene, Cree, Saulteaux, Métis, Inuit and Inuvialuit communities has influenced her design practice.

Herein are 88 illustrated short stories for children with most of the stories suffixed by a moral. In this volume you will find stories like: The Innkeeper The Brook and the Waterwheel Crooked Horn and Old Brindle The Lark and the Whippoorwill The Weedy Farm The Learned Owl ….and many, many more. Even as long ago as 1888, Charles Foster believed that it is not new truths that we need, but the application of old ones to our daily life, which led to the title of this book. Even so, the stories are still fresh and engaging. Because they have 88 to choose from, you will find there will be at least a few stories each child falls in love with and goes back to time after time. To have compiled such a volume in the 1880’s is nothing short of amazing. That the stories are of such quality is testament to the efforts of Charles Foster and his publishing house. WE INVITE YOU to curl up in front of your hearth with the fire crackling and spitting. Then open this unique sliver of culture not seen in print for many a year; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of America when it was still a young and growing country. ---------------------------- KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, cultural, moral, Innkeeper, Brook, Waterwheel, Court-House Steeple, Crooked Horn, Old Brindle, Millers, Tenth, Lark, Whippoorwill, Gate, Gate Post, Weedy Farm, King, Content, Learned Owl, Horse, Grasshoppers, Bark, Lightship, Unhonored, Servant, Wings, Standpoints, Man, Menagerie, Two Outlooks, Job Nickel, Unused Loom, Crowing, Peter Crisp, Spectacles, Two Apple Trees, Spring in Woods, Distant View, Two Vines, Old Chestnut, Young Oak, Corn-cribs, Old Clock, New Home, Great Secret, House-Builder, Pigeons, Clock on Desk, Watch-Dog, Opened Eyes, Lantern People, Grand Relations, Fair, Foul Wear, Wreckage, Robin, Riddles, Emigrants Wagon, Big, Little Lanterns, Cat, Tiger, Charity, Day-Laborers, Artist’s Answer, Hemlock, Sugar-Maple, Bread, Beautiful, Harper, Unappreciated Gift, Worn-Out Team, Wise Farmer, Wayfarer, Birds Fears, Night-Watchman, Single, Double, Boastful Fly, Mended Boots, Cripple, his Staff, Search, Swallows, Windmill, Medicine-Man, Eagle, Wren, Two Saplings, Cog-Wheel, Plough, Mowing-Machine, Fat, Lean, Half Empty, Quite Full, Snake, Rich, Poor, Hawk, Chicken, Servant, Money, Future Greatness, Old Mans Watch, Teacher, Cloud Shadows, Penitent Transgressor, Dry Well, Fruit Tree, Deer, Homely, Handsome, Colt, Old Gray, King’s Almoner, Pansies, Bells, Jack, Jenny, Meeting, Winds,

Stories Old and New is the first complete translation of Feng Menglong’s Gujin xiaoshuo (also known as Yushi mingyan, Illustrious Words to Instruct the World), a collection of 40 short stories first published in 1620 in China. This is considered the best of Feng’s three such collections and was a pivotal work in the development of vernacular fiction. The stories are valuable as examples of early fiction and for their detailed depiction of daily life among a broad range of social classes. The stories are populated by scholars and courtesans, spirits and ghosts, Buddhist monks and nuns, pirates and emperors, and officials both virtuous and corrupt. The streets and abodes of late-Ming China come alive in Shuhui Yang and Yunqin Yang’s smooth and colorful translation of these entertaining tales. Stories Old and New has long been popular in China and has been published there in numerous editions. Although some of the stories have appeared in English translations in journals and anthologies, they have not previously been presented sequentially in thematic pairs as arranged by Feng Menglong. This unabridged translation, illustrated with a selection of woodcuts from the original Ming dynasty edition and including Feng’s interlinear notes and marginal comments, as well as all of the verse woven throughout the text, allows the modern reader to experience the text as did its first audience nearly four centuries ago.

ÊA LONG, long time agoÑperhaps three thousand years or moreÑthere was a man named Ho'mer. No one knows much about him; but there are legends that he was born on the island of Chi'os and that he was blind. He wandered about the land, homeless, but welcome wherever he chose to go, because he was a poet. He once described how a blind poet was treated at a great banquet, and probably that is the way in which people treated him. He said that when the feast was ready, a page was sent to lead in the honored guest. A silver-studded chair was brought forward for him and set against a pillar. On the pillar the page hung his harp, so near him that he could touch it if he wished. A little table was placed before him, and on it was put a tray spread with food and wine. When the feasting was at an end, he sang a glorious song of the mighty deeds of men. The Greeks liked to hear stories just as well as the people of to-day, and they shouted with delight. Then they all went out to the race-course, the page leading the blind singer carefully along the way. There were races and wrestling matches and boxing and throwing of the discus. After this, the poet took his harp and stepped to the centre of the circle. The young men gathered around him eagerly, and he chanted a story of A'res, the war god, and Aph-ro-di'te, goddess of beauty and love. Homer composed two great poems. One is the Il'i-ad, which takes its name from Il'i-um, or Troy, a town in Asia Minor. For ten long years the Greeks tried to capture Ilium. They had good reason for waging war against the Tro'jans, for Par'is, son of the king of Troy, had stolen away the Grecian Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world. She was the wife of a Greek prince named Men-e-la'us; and the other princes of Greece joined him in attacking Troy. They took some smaller places round about and divided the booty, as the custom was. In the tenth year of the war, A-chil'les and Ag-a-mem'non, two of the greatest of the princes, quarreled about one of these divisions, and here the Iliad begins. Achilles was so angry that he took his followers, the Myr'mi-dons, left the camp, and declared that he would have nothing more to do with the war, he would return to Greece. Now the Greeks were in trouble, indeed, for Achilles was their most valiant leader, and his men were exceedingly brave soldiers. They sent his friend Pa-tro'clus to beg him to come back. Achilles would not yield, even to him; but he finally agreed to allow his followers to return and also to lend his armor and equipments to Patroclus.
