New Releases by Moss Roberts

This memoir is a short read covering a long life, starting from an early childhood memory, datable to 1945, and ending with the closing years of my 50+ year career as a professor of Chinese at New York University. Along the way I touch on a few highlights: glimpses of my academic work - teaching and research, how I navigated the perils and prejudices of graduate school, and lastly my reflections on politics - how I came to think outside the rather small groupthink box that confines so many academics, journalists, and government officials when it comes to China and Asia.

This collection of tales opens up a magical world far from our customary haunts. Ghost stories, romances, fables, and heroic sagas: the forms are familiar, but the characters we meet surprise us at every turn. For those who know and love the tales of the Grimms and Andersen, the universal themes of fairy tale literature emerge in these classic stories, but with a sophistication that is uniquely Chinese and altogether entrancing. With black-and-white drawings throughout Part of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library
