杨德友

Yang Deyou is a Chinese book author about whom limited public information is available; his dates of birth and death, nationality, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the five works held in the library, his writing and editorial work center mainly on poetry translation, philosophy, and biography. Representative works include But There Are Still Books: Miłosz's Poems 1981–2001, Recollection of the Native Land: Miłosz's Poems III, and Jung's autobiography Memories, Dreams, Reflections, as well as The Consolation of Philosophy. These works show an interest in Western thought and literary classics, with particular attention to translating and introducing Miłosz's poetry and Jung's ideas, spanning categories such as classical poetry, general biography, Western philosophy, and literature. His style tends toward faithfully conveying the thought and feeling of the originals, offering readable texts for Chinese readers interested in Polish poetry and the Western philosophical and psychological traditions, and giving him a certain influence among related reading communities.
