Summary of A Dream of Red Mansions (Chinese Classics, Classic Novel in 4 Volumes)
Also known as Hong Lou Meng, this is arguably China's greatest literary masterpiece. A chronicle of a noble family in the eighteenth century; but the splendor of enchanting gardens, pleasure pavilions, and daily life of the most sophisticated refinements hides the realities of decay and self-destruction.Historical Books
