About the author

Jin Yi: publicly available information is limited, and no clear details about nationality, birth or death dates are available. Judging from the eight works included in the database, however, Jin Yi's work centers on the translation and introduction of foreign literature and classic masterpieces. Represented works include the four-volume Representative Works of Camus, The Stranger, A Happy Death, The Little Prince Trilogy, Jules Verne's Classic Science Fiction (nine volumes), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, and The Essence of Comedy. These titles span French existentialist literature, children's literature, and science-fiction adventure novels, suggesting a broad range: Jin Yi handles both the cool, spare philosophical narration of Camus and the dense scientific detail and adventure plotting of Verne, while also doing justice to a work as clear in language and rich in implication as The Little Prince. Many of these translations appear in popular classic series such as Dook Classic Library and Guomai Classics, serving as a bridge for Chinese readers encountering foreign literature.
