Abstract:
The important place of Russian literature in China is widely acknowledged.
To better understand the processes of its translation, transmission and
interpretation during the first half of the 20th century, this book draws
on an array of Chinese and Russian sources, providing insight into the
interplay of political ideologies, cultural trends, commercial forces, and
the self-definition of Chinese culture in the period under consideration.
By focusing on the translation and translators of three writers, Boris
Savinkov, Mikhail Artsybashev and Leonid Andreev, it analyzes the critical
fortune in China of the modernist literature written in Russia during the
two decades preceding the Great War and Revolution. Offering a thorough
study of Lu Xun, the most important Chinese author of the 20th century, as
a reader, translator and interpreter of Russian literature, this book also
displays the variety of the groups and persons involved in the introduction
of foreign literature, going beyond shopworn generalizations about "East"
and "West" to make meaningful statements about a complex period in Chinese
history.
About the author(s)

modern Chinese literature and history in the Department of East Asian
Studies, Tel Aviv University, Israel.
