Features: The 10-volume set "Qian Xuan's Complete Translations" has recently been published by Taibai Literature Publishing House. The "Qian Xuan's Complete Translations" includes all of Qian Xuan's literary translation works from nearly 70 years of his career, featuring works such as "Ulysses," "The Good Soldier ?vejk," and "The Stories of Shakespeare's Plays." It is a relatively comprehensive collection of Qian Xuan's translation works. On the occasion of Qian Xuan's 95th birthday, the publication of "Qian Xuan's Complete Translations" allows readers not only to appreciate the authentic style of the original works but also to enjoy the vivid content and humorous, profound language in Qian Xuan's translations. Moreover, readers can experience the personal charm of Qian Xuan as a cultural icon, an outstanding writer, translator, and journalist. This book, which has been adapted into films in many countries, is a famous satirical novel, and its protagonist ?vejk has become a symbolic figure. It is a world-renowned satirical literary masterpiece and one of the greatest works in Czech history. It has been translated into nearly 30 languages. Author Ha?ek has been compared by European critics to the 16th-century La Breul (author of "Gargantua and Pantagruel") and Cervantes (author of "Don Quixote"). The work chronicles, from the inside, the collapse of the ancient Austro-Hungarian Empire in Europe during the World War. The power of the novel "The Good Soldier ?vejk" lies in its vivid and hilarious plot, which convincingly tells us: an unjust army, no matter how large in numbers, will ultimately fail and perish.
