Experience a BRIEF ENCOUNTER with Eileen Chang, 'a giant of modern Chinese literature' The New York Times, in this breathtaking, newly translated collection of her most masterful stories on love, regret and nostalgia.

From one of the greatest Chinese authors of the twentieth century, these delicate stories illuminate the most intimate matters of the human heart - now available in English for the very first time.

Since childhood, Ruliang has had the peculiar habit of sketching a certain profile in the margins of his books. He has mapped out this same face, over and over again, without knowing why - until he meets Cythnia. As brief and evocative as sketches themselves, these five stories of lost loves, nostalgia and migration reveal a master of feeling at the peak of her powers.

BRIEF ENCOUNTERS- classic novellas and captivating stories, to be read in a single sitting or savoured over days
