LĨNH NAM CHÍCH QUÁI - THE BEAUTY OF A CLASSIC WORK
Lĩnh Nam Chích Quái, a collection of strange tales from Vietnam, is a classic piece of medieval literature and a treasure of Vietnam's cultural heritage.
Written by Trần Thế Pháp in Chinese characters during the Trần Dynasty, Lĩnh Nam Chích Quái has been refined, edited, and enriched over time by generations of Vietnamese Confucian scholars, most notably Vũ Quỳnh and Kiều Phú.
This collection of mythical stories reflects the views of the Vietnamese ancestors on national history, customs, and morality.
Kim Đồng Publishing House’s edition of Lĩnh Nam Chích Quái preserves almost the entirety of the translation by renowned scholars Đinh Gia Khánh and Nguyễn Ngọc San. The thirty-six stories in this collection cover legendary tales from the Hồng Bàng period to the Trần Dynasty. These include stories about Âu Cơ - Lạc Long Quân, the Areca Tree, and Mount Tản Viên. This is also the most comprehensive edition with valuable materials and research.
In addition to the thirty-six stories, the book includes important research materials, such as the preface by Vũ Quỳnh and introductions by scholars Đinh Gia Khánh and Nguyễn Ngọc San. These resources are compiled at the end of the book, offering readers in-depth insights into this masterpiece.
Moreover, with over 200 illustrations by artist Tạ Huy Long, Kim Đồng Publishing House’s edition of Lĩnh Nam Chích Quái is the first to feature stunning full-color illustrations, shedding light on the precious gem of this ancient text.
The more than 200 illustrations in Lĩnh Nam Chích Quái were all hand-drawn, meticulously crafted to imitate the style of traditional folk woodblock prints. Each illustration consists of two versions: one in black ink and one or two in color.
Kim Đồng Publishing House's edition of Lĩnh Nam Chích Quái is truly an artistic achievement, showcasing the dedication and unique talent of artist Tạ Huy Long.
