One Hundred and One Chinese Poems(精裝)
THE TRANSLATOR， Mr S. S. Liu， who has combined several conspicuous careers in one lifetime， has selected for this Anthology of Chinese Poetry， 101 poems from 47 poets， beginning with Fu Hsuan， in the third century， down to Jennings Wong， in the twentieth. This is a parallel text edition with the Chinese originals on the left-hand page facing the English translations on the right-hand. Concordances to the works of 38 other English translators are given in the Appendix. Mr John Cairncross， a distinguished poet and skilful translator， who contributed a further seven translations to Professor Liu’s， says in his Foreword. ‘All translators of poetry， it has often been observed， are expected to combine the conflicting desiderata of fidelity and beauty. But the task of the writer who sets out to English the Chinese poets is even more exacting. He must not only produce a work of art in his own language but also devise means of giving his Chinese version a specifically Chinese touch....At first blush， the challenge seems impossible. Yet Mr Shih Shun Liu's book demonstrates that attention to rhythm and euphony need not exclude faithfulness to the Chinese nor a specifically Chinese atmosphere.’
The Earth Is Dancing
The Earth Is Dancing was the latest work by Mo-Jen Wang after his migration from Taiwan to the United States. After 24 years of inner thinking and reflection, the book was organized in present actions and past experiences intertwined through streams of consciousness. Besides the author’s own experiences for almost a lifetime, he eventually proposed an ultimate ideal and hope of “the Whole World United as One.” The publication of The Earth Is Dancing in Taiwan is to honor such an author not only in Literary World in Chinese but also up on the stage of the World Literature.
