The Story of the Stone
Cao Xueqin [Xueqin, Cao]The Story of the Stone (c.1760) is one of the greatest novels of Chinese literature. The first part of the story, The Golden Days, begins the tale of Bao-yu, a gentle young boy who prefers girls to Confucian studies, and his two cousins: Bao-chai, his parents' choice of a wife for him, and the ethereal beauty Dai-yu. Through the changing fortunes of the Jia family, this rich, magical work sets worldly events -- love affairs, sibling rivalries, political intrigues, even murder -- within the context of the Buddhist understanding that earthly existence is an illusion and karma determines the shape of our lives.
