The Story of the Stone, Volume I: The Golden Days, Chapters 1-26 by Cao Xueqin
5.0
1. This is a really good translation, holy shit
2. This is a really good novel???? I thought it was just “old rich family falls on hard times” but fuck this is better than Shakespeare & the framing device was so cool and just the sheer breadth of its coverage. Wow. Four more volumes to go, but wow. Imagine this in its original Chinese??
