Le Rêve dans le pavillon rouge

Cette œuvre monumentale, considérée comme un sommet de la littérature chinoise, relate l'ascension et le déclin d'une vaste et influente famille aristocratique au XVIIIe siècle. Le récit tisse avec art des thèmes d'amour, de perte, de changement social et la nature éphémère de l'existence terrestre. Il offre une exploration profonde des relations humaines et des dynamiques sociales, rendue avec des détails exquis et une profondeur psychologique.

    "The Story of the Stone" (c. 1760) is one of the greatest novels of Chinese literature. The first part of the story, The Golden Days, begins the tale of Bao-yu, a gentle young boy who prefers girls to Confucian studies, and his two cousins: Bao-chai, his parents' choice of a wife for him, and the ethereal beauty Dai-yu. Through the changing fortunes of the Jia family, this rich, magical work sets worldly events - love affairs, sibling rivalries, political intrigues, even murder - within the context of the Buddhist understanding that earthly existence is an illusion and karma determines the shape of our lives.
