About the author

Peng Lei is a Chinese author whose work spans Western philosophy and prose miscellany. Public information about him is limited, and details such as his nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background remain unclear. Three of his works are currently held in the collection: two volumes in the Classical Studies series, The Philosopher and the King in Xenophon and The Interpretation of Homer, and a collection of prose, Life Is Hot Because of You. Judging from these subjects, his writing combines the study of Western classical thought with personal prose: the former offers philosophical and literary interpretations of classical authors such as Xenophon and Homer, showing an attention to the intellectual currents of ancient Greece, while the latter turns to reflections on life and emotional writing in a freer style. Taken together, the two kinds of work present a writer moving between the scholarly and the everyday. Owing to limited verifiable material, a fuller picture of his research path and writing remains to be supplied by further sources.
