Beschreibung

The Deer and the Cauldron is Louis Cha's last novel. This picaresque, historical romance feaures "Trinket", an irreverent and comic anti-hero unlike Cha's more conventional, valorous protagonists. The Times Literary Supplement selected The Deer and the Cauldron as a 1998 International Book of the Year.

Autor

Louis Cha (Jin Yong) was, until his recent retirement, founder and publisher of the Ming Pao Daily News, Hong Kong, Shin Ming Daily News, Singapore, and related publications. He is best known, however, as a writer and is the most widely read novelist in Chinese communities all over the world. His Martial Arts novels, originally written for newspaper serialization, have been adapted for TV, film, audio, strip cartoon, computer games, and restaurant menus. The Deer and the Cauldron is Louis Cha's last Martial Arts novel, and this English translation is authorized by him. John Minford has translated several works of Chinese fiction and poetry into English including, with David Hawkes, the Penguin edition of the eighteenth-century classic novel, The Story of the Stone.
