Publisher's NoteForeign Languages Press is dedicated to the editing, translating and publishing of books in foreign languages. Over the past several decades it has published, in English, a great number of China's classics and records as well as literary works from the Qin down to modern times, in the aim to fully display the best part of the Chinese culture and its achievements. These books in the original are famous and authoritative in their respective fields, and their English translations are masterworks produced by notable translators both at home and abroad. Each book is carefully compiled and translated with minute precision. Consequently, the English versions as well as their Chinese originals may both be rated as classics.
It is generally considered that these English translations are not only significant for introducing China to the outside world but also useful reading materials for domestic English learners and translators. For this reason, we have carefully selected some of these books, and will published them successively in Chinese-English bilingual form.Echo of Classics - other books published by Foreign Languages Press: The Goddesses, Ai Qing Selected Poems, Thunderstorm, The Shop of the Lin Family Spring Silkworms, Sunrise, Teahouse, Garden of Repose, Mr. Ma and Son, Camel Xiangzi |
