The Dream of the Red Chamber: Part 1: Chapters 1-26 out of 120

by Cao Xueqin and Evan Mantyk

With subtly drawn characters, elaborate period details, and a realistic yet fairytale-like plot, The Dream of the Red Chamber has been enchanting readers since it was first published in the 18th century. Today, it is a cultural icon in China, where it is regarded as one of China's Four Great Novels and has spawned its own field of scholarship known as Redology. Today, for English readers, it offers an enthralling look into the splendor of China's pre-modern upper-class life, where bittersweet romantic dramas unfold with Jane Austen-like perfection.
