About The Four Great Chinese Novels Julkaisusuunnittelu

Neljää suurta klassikkoteosta pidetään laajalti perinteisen kiinalaisen kirjallisuuden ja kulttuurin äärimmäisenä ilmentymänä. Tämä suunnittelu hylkää perinteiset menetelmät ja omaksuu kriitikon näkökulman esittääkseen tuoreen tulkinnan näistä ajattomista teoksista. Sarjaan kuuluu kaksiosaisesti jaettu kirjakansi, jossa senttimetrin levyinen rako paljastaa vilauksen sisäkannen taideteoksesta, herättäen tunteen hieman raollaan olevan oven läpi kurkistamisesta ja houkutellen lukijoita paljastamaan sisällä piilevät mysteerit.
