沈從文短篇小說選 Selected Stories of Shen Congwen（中英對照）

Selected Stories of Shen Congwen collects six representative and classic stories from the author's most mature period, in the 1930s and 1940s. Each piece is permeated with contradictions, particularly between the "new" and the "old", as well as the "healthy" and the "corrupt" of traditional Chinese society.
