The Story of the Stone, or The Dream of the Red Chamber, Vol. 1: The Golden Days

The Story of the StoneÂ (c. 1760), also known by the title ofÂ The Dream of the Red Chamber, is the great novel of manners in Chinese literature.

Divided into five volumes,Â The Story of the StoneÂ charts the glory and decline of the illustrious Jia family. This novel re-creates the ritualized hurly-burly of Chinese family life that would otherwise be lost and infuses it with affirming Buddhist belief.
