Šljivin cvet u vazi od zlata
Summary
Plum blossom in a golden vase
The first masterpiece of Chinese literature
An unknown author from the 16th century left behind a magnificent work. Legend has it that he wrote it to avenge his father's death. He rubbed the pages of the manuscript with poison and sent them to his father's murderer. According to legend, the victim did not stop reading the book and died as soon as she finished it because she read the novel in one sitting. Simen Qing is a young, beautiful and rich heiress, influential and respectable, but also licentious, corrupt and licentious. After the death of his parents, he spends his time in houses for pleasure, we meet his numerous wives and concubines, servants and equally respectable and successful "friends". Before us appears the image of a society riddled with lies, corruption, subterfuge and crime. And wealth slowly pours out... Into this timeless story about passions and the impermanence of fate, the anonymous author wove erotica, verses and various testimonies of that time, creating an extremely vivid depiction of human nature. The novel was long censored and banned in China due to "obscenity", which did not stop readers from admiring it and reading it in secret.
