罗新璋

Luo Xinzhang is an important Chinese translator of French literature who has long devoted himself to translating and introducing French literary works. Public information about him is limited: his birth year, native place, and educational background are not reliably documented. The ten works held in the collection nonetheless show that his translations center on classic French novels. His representative translations include several editions of Stendhal's The Red and the Black, as well as Therese's Life and a three-volume set of psychological novels. Luo's translations are noted for their attention to style and for preserving the psychological description and narrative rhythm of the originals, and they have a steady readership among books in the categories of foreign literature and world classics. The continued circulation of multiple editions of The Red and the Black also indicates that his version is widely accepted among Chinese readers and serves as an important reference among Chinese translations of French novels.
