These included many specimens of popular literature of a kind that was not previously known to exist. Although the find was made long ago, only two or three of these pieces had been translated before. Arthur Waley here translates, whole or as extracts, twenty-six pieces, making an invaluable addition to world literature.China, history, philosophy, economics ;29.Chinese literatureTranslations into EnglishChinaLiterary collectionsElectronic books.Chinese literature398.2095145895.1082Waley Arthur203962MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462445603321Ballads and stories from Tun-Huang1192716UNINA
