This anthology of carefully-selected modern stories offers the reader a glimpse into Far Eastern literature that has hitherto been largely unexplored.

These stories by contemporary writers, which have been translated by specialists who mostly are or were faculty members of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, reveal the social phenomena in the modernization of China, life and human relationships in present-day Mongolia, Korea, as well as ancient and modern Japan.

Each section contains an informative introduction provided valuable background and insight into the stories, which will be of interest both to students of Asian literature and the general reader.
