Also from the East, Penguin Classics have just published The Nine Cloud Dream, a novel set in 9th-century Tang China, written by Kim Man-Jung, a new translation of the novel from Heinz Insu Fenkl, which novel was last published into English forty years ago. This Buddhist tale, a classic of Korean literature, explores the illusions of human life. Will the life we dream of truly make us happy? That is the question raised by The Nine Cloud Dream.
