Short, punchy satirical depiction of revolutionary China ( ) Take my rating with a grain of salt, since I read this in a ruined Spanish-language edition from 1970. Lu Xun gets his point across, and the misadventures of A Q are certainly entertaining, but for me the satire is just a bit too on the nose. It's clear from the first five pages that A Q's "spiritual victories" are symbolic of late imperial China'self-destructive pride in the face of constant inadequacy and humiliation, and from then on every chapter is a variation on the theme. For me it was 5/5 as a document of its times, but not necessarily captivating on its own. The prose seemed simple enough that I don't think i missed too much in translation, but it's likely that I would have been better off reading this in the original.

A towering figure in the literary history of twentieth-century China, Lu Xun has exerted immense and continuous influence through his short stories, which remain today as powerful as they were first written. While echoes of these stories can still be heard in the fictional works from both sides of the Taiwan Strait in the eighties and nineties, The True Story of Ah Q has long become an intrinsic part of the Chinese vocabulary. Like many Chinese intellectuals searching for a solution to China's problems, Lu Xun went to Japan to study medicine, a choice he later abandoned for a career in writing, which he considered to be a far more effective weapon to save China. A prolific author of pungent and "dagger-like" essays, Lu Xun is also a tireless translator of Western critical and literary works. His fictional works have been translated into more than twenty languages. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
