These hybrid narratives combine Chinese historical figures, traditional Chinese crime literature, and Chinese history and material culture with ratiocinative methods and psychoanalytic themes familiar from Western detective fiction. This new subject and detective image won a global readership, and the book discusses the innovations that van Gulik’s Judge Dee mysteries brought to both Chinese \u003cem\u003egong’an\u003c\/em\u003e literature and Western detective fiction. Furthermore, it introduces contemporary writers from different countries who specialize in writing detective fiction or \u003cem\u003egong’an\u003c\/em\u003e novels set in ancient China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will meet the interest of fans of Judge Dee stories throughout the world and will also appeal to both students and researchers of comparative literature, Chinese literature, and crime novels studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262555246936,"sku":"9781032314167","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032314167_6bd0c85a-111e-45d6-87d7-056e127ee5fc.jpg?v=1777715115","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transculturation-of-judge-dee-stories-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
