About this Item

First edition in English of this major novel of 1930s cosmopolitan Shanghai from one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Chinese literature. A tale of capitalistic corruption in the tradition of literary realism and informed by ideas of the growing communist movement in China, MIDNIGHT represented a new kind of novel that the political left hoped to create alongside red China. Originally published in Chinese in 1933, this English-language edition of MIDNIGHT was produced by the publishing arm of the Chinese Communist Party in Peking in the midst of the Cold War. The Mao Dun Literature Prize, named after the author, is one of the most prestigious literary awards in China. 8.5'' x 5''. Original grey cloth binding with black spine lettering. Original unclipped (unpriced) pictorial dust jacket. Original ribbon marker. Black topstain. Black-and-white frontispiece with 16 black-and-white plates. 524 pages. With list of "Principal Characters" loosely laid in. Jacket with some edgewear; light sunning to spine and front edges. Binding with a couple bumps to edges, a bit of toning to spine. Interior clean and sharp. Seller Inventory # 44698
