Klappentext: "This is a selection of popular Chinese stories from the 10th to the 17th centuries. These stories were written in the spoken language that developed as a literary medium after the emergence of an urban commercial economy in the Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1279). Originally the manuscripts of ordinary street story-tellers, this genre of fiction - deriving its material from the life and times of the period, with vivid writing and intricate plots, descriptions that are natural and vivacious - has now attained a lofty place as literature. The twenty stories in this book are selected from over two hundred in several collections published at the beginning of the 17th century. The illustrations included in this volume are taken from contemporary editions." - Enthält: Introduction. - The jade worker. - The honest clerk. - Fifteen strings of cash. - The monk's billet-doux. - The foxes' revenge. - The hidden will. - The two brothers. - The beggar chief's daughter. - A just man avengd. - The tattered felt hat. - The courtesan's jewel box. - The oil vendor and the courtesan. - The old gardener. - Marriage by proxy. - The proud scholar. - The tangerines and the tortoise shell. - The story of a breggart. - The alchemist and his concubine. - A prefectship bought and lost. - The merry adventures of Lazy Dragon. - Die Erzählungen sind drei Sammlungen des Feng Menglong (Yushi mingyan, Jingshi tongyan und Xingshi hengyan) sowie der Sammlung "Paian jingqi" des Lin Mengchu entnommen.

No mortal will tell of our tragedy... Tenebrae; a world of darkness, trapped in the past and where vampires rule over their mortal slaves. Torn from the safety of her small village, twelve-year-old Reina is a thrust into a life of slavery and eternal darkness. Spending her prime years in servitude to the demons known as vampires, Reina learns to keep her head down and remain unseen. But all that changes when she makes a fatal mistake. A century after seeing her home destroyed and family slaughtered, Reina is forced to return toTenebrae. No longer a slave and raised to the ranks of vampire, the very creature she loathes, Reina is determined to end slavery and destroy Tenebrae. But she has caught the attention of Master Vrykólakas, the man responsible for the death of her family. Suspicious of Reina's return he issues her an impossible ultimatum: become his treasured courtesan or condemn the man who is both her Creator and lover to death.

Do the portrayals of objects in literary texts represent historical evidence about the material culture of the past? Or are things in books more than things in the world? Sophie Volpp considers fictional objects of the late Ming and Qing that defy being read as illustrative of historical things. Instead, she argues, fictional objects are often signs of fictionality themselves, calling attention to the nature of the relationship between literature and materiality. Volpp examines a series of objects—a robe, a box and a shell, a telescope, a plate-glass mirror, and a painting—drawn from the canonical works frequently mined for information about late imperial material culture, including the novels The Plum in the Golden Vase and The Story of the Stone as well as the short fiction of Feng Menglong, Ling Mengchu, and Li Yu. She argues that although fictional objects invite readers to think of them as illustrative, in fact, inconsistent and discontinuous representation disconnects the literary object from potential historical analogues. The historical resonances of literary objects illuminate the rhetorical strategies of individual works of fiction and, more broadly, conceptions of fictionality in the Ming and Qing. Rather than offering a transparent lens on the past, fictional objects train the reader to be aware of the fallibility of perception. A deeply insightful analysis of late Ming and Qing texts and reading practices, The Substance of Fiction has important implications for Chinese literary studies, history, and art history, as well as the material turn in the humanities.

The Women Of Quyi written by Francesca R. Sborgi Lawson and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-02-17 with Art categories.
Drawing substantially on original ethnographic fieldwork from the 1980s and 1990s, Lawson demonstrates how the women of quyi - a community of Chinese female singers in Republican Tianjin - successfully negotiated their sexuality and vocality in performance. Owing to their role as third-person narrators, the women of quyi bridged the gender gap in Chinese performance, creating an androgynous persona that allowed them to showcase their voices on public stages; places that had been previously unwelcoming to conventional female performers. This is a story about female storytellers who sang their way to respectability and social change by minimizing their bodies to allow their voices to be heard.
