Features: Mystery refers to something that can be discovered yet remains entirely unseen。——M. Blanchot
Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible sun within our bodies。——T. Browning
Chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and flowers—where is the home of the nomad?
The thoughts of masters are like the vast wind in the wilderness, lifting the veil that conceals our souls.
Following A Night Never Empty—Loving Literary Masters, Zhang Yongyi has once again carefully studied and edited the elegant and captivating writings of European authors, including novels, essays, letters, and diaries. With insightful prefaces and introductions, he has made the stern faces of dozens of European literary masters—Proust, Sartre, Yourcenar, Bulgakov, Mandelstam, Calvino, Thomas Mann, Hesse, Joyce, Faulkner, and others—more accessible and approachable.
His admiration for mystery and purity, as well as his pursuit of them, leads Zhang Yongyi to deliberately discard those hollow, sentimental, and superficial writings.
Clearly, beyond the magnificent landscapes unveiled in The Veil of the Wilderness, the works of this author are even more eagerly anticipated, such as his film essays, and the long novel The Icebreaker, which has been crafted over three years and is about to set sail.
