This work makes Shi ji and its scholarship accessible to any reader of English, and it is a model for any work in this field and style." ―Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies "Through such work as this, the scholarly and literary community of the West will learn more of the splendor and romance of early China, and may better appreciate the lessons in humanity presented by its great historian." ―Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies "Nienhauser’s new translation is scrupulously scholarly . . . the design of this series is nearly flawless . . . the translation itself is very precise." ―Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews This project will result in the first complete translation (in nine volumes) of the Shih chi (The Grand Scribe’s Records), one of the most important narratives in traditional China. Ssu-ma Ch’ien (145–ca. 86 BC), who compiled the work, is known as the Herodotus of China.
