Overview

China’s Qinling Mountains are as rich in legend as they are in wildlife. In these six tales from nationally bestselling author Ye Guangqin, tigers, pandas, monkeys and bears live alongside the region’s equally various human residents – some striving to `keep apace with the times’, others struggling to save their way of life from the onslaught of nationwide change. Both have much to learn from each other. Beautifully highlighting the absurdity of everyday human interactions, and the potential for tragedy when the lives of animals become entangled with ours, Mountain Stories is a stunning, enthralling collection that will transport international readers to a rarely-seen part of our world; the perfect introduction to a major new voice in world literature.
