About the author

Chen Anquan is a Chinese book author about whom limited public information is available; his nationality, dates of birth and death, and personal background are not recorded in public sources. Five works by him are currently held in the library, all in the field of foreign literature. His representative translations or edited selections include the five-volume Nabokov Selected Works II, as well as Invitation to a Beheading and Transparent Things. These works indicate that Chen Anquan's writing and translation focus on the Russian-American writer Vladimir Nabokov, presenting his novels and shorter works in Chinese. The style of the translations presumably follows the delicacy, subtlety, and irony of the originals, with attention to preserving narrative layers and linguistic playfulness. Although public information is limited and a full biography cannot be outlined, Chen Anquan's contribution, judged by the existing works, lies in bringing Nabokov's less widely known or stylistically distinctive texts to Chinese readers, offering reference translations for enthusiasts and scholars of foreign literature.
