About the publisher

Yanbian Education Press has maintained a sustained focus on translating and introducing foreign literature and classic works. Its available titles include translations of Maugham's The Moon and Sixpence, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's Rashomon, Natsume Soseki's I Am a Cat, Dazai Osamu's No Longer Human, and Lafcadio Hearn's Kwaidan, forming a selection centered on Japanese literature while also covering English and American literature. In the areas of prose and literary appreciation, it offers classic collections by Zhou Zuoren and Lin Huiyin, as well as accessible interpretations of classics such as the Chu Ci by authors including Li Yan, Wang Rongbo, and Ziyi. The press's distinctive approach lies in placing foreign literary masterpieces alongside native classic readings, balancing readability and knowledge, and providing general readers with introductory and appreciative works. Due to limited public information, its related series system and complete roster of authors require further confirmation.
