'East Meets West' is a people’s book. It is for the ordinary people of the English and Chinese speaking world to enjoy. . It is a translation of Classical Chinese literature with a side theme of 'East Meets West.' and it includes 46 prose-essays and 4 great novels, translated in simple and beautiful English. This book will undoubtedly help to build bridges and contribute to the understanding of East and West. It also provides the Westerners the opportunity to read the literature that has influenced the Chinese mind and thought over 5000 years. They are effortless to read and very easy to digest. It is unique, very entertaining, interesting, educational, original and informative. I try to promote friendship and harmony of the people of the East and West through the beauty of 5000 years of Chinese culture. 'East Meets West' has a total of 1000-3000 pages ( approx.) and consists of 4 volumes. This book is the culmination of more than ten years of persistent hard work, not to mention the 60 years of reading, researching, studying and planing. I provide my readers with an insight into Chinese culture but I also show parallels with Western literature in my own unique but effective style of writing. I provide the essentials in an entertaining way. These original classical Chinese masterpieces are mostly serious and solemn. I try to put in fresh air and also with warm human-touch as much as possible. I say to my readers again that this is a people’s book. In food terms, this is not a five star hotel restaurant but is Mc Donald’s Restaurant serving delicious meals in a low price for the people to enjoy in every corner of the high street globally. This is a book of the century. Please do not miss it.
