Chinese Fiction Classics in English Translation, Foreign Languages Press, circa 1990s, Paperback
These three-volume set of Chinese classic tales, published by Foreign Languages Press in Beijing during the mid to late 1990s, are highly regarded as a cornerstone of Chinese culture. Each set includes three paperback books, packaged in a printed cardboard box, and were acquired at a Foreign Languages Bookstore in China.
The titles of the books are:
The 3 Kingdoms
Outlaws of the Marsh
Journey to the West
The sets are in good condition with little to no signs of use. The quality of the printing is quite typical of printing in China in the 1990s, so there will be some ink smears and small variances in depth of the letters and illustrations, but someone would have made sure all the pages were legible.
Even though they are paperbacks, they are very dense, thus heavy sets.
