Silversmith in the Moonlight/月光下的银匠

This book collects representative short stories by Mao Dun Literature Prize winner Alai, including "The Silversmith in the Moonlight," "Gera Grows Up," "Savage," "Sophora japonica," "Hydroelectric Station," "Coachman," "Road," "Mushroom," "Grandfather," "Cousin," "Agu Dunba," and "Flight of the Bees." The characters in these stories all exude a subtle air of earth and grass, each possessing a pure heart. The love in "Savage," the close friendship in "Sophora japonica," Gera's burgeoning sense of responsibility towards his mother and sister in "Gera Grows Up," and the young silversmith's pursuit of freedom and dignity in "The Silversmith in the Moonlight" are all deeply moving and soul-cleansing.
