Features: English-Chinese Parallel "One Hundred Series"
The original "One Hundred Series" was published in Hong Kong by the Commercial Press (Hong Kong) Limited. To meet the needs of mainland Chinese readers for learning English and appreciating world classics, our company has entered into a co-publishing agreement with the Commercial Press (Hong Kong) Limited to reprint and distribute the Hong Kong edition of this series. At the same time, our company also directly commissions content for the "One Hundred Series" in mainland China. This book is one of the self-commissioned works of our company, and this is specially noted. Rubaiyeh (also translated as The Rubaiyat) is a translation of The Rubaiyat, whose original work is renowned as a treasure of world literature. It is the most translated poetry collection in the world and also the most translated into Chinese, serving as a witness to the history of Chinese poetry translation. The features of this translation are: the translation strictly adheres to the original content and form, reflecting the original meter and rhyme in rhythm and phonology. It is the first poetry collection translated from English to Chinese under such requirements. Its appearance proves that this reasonable and even necessary requirement for translating poetry is feasible, demonstrating the potential of Chinese characters in accurately replicating the original content and form in translation. Thus, it paves the way for visually embodying foreign poetic systems in translated poetry—this has now been achieved in over ten English and American poetry collections.
