Mongolian Literature Anthology by Bawden
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.7MB
Overview: The intention of the present book is to introduce readers to some of the various genres of literature, both oral and written, in which the genius of the Mongolian people expressed itself from early beginnings in the thirteenth century up to the end of the nineteenth century. The translations are all my own, though naturally some of the passages I have chosen have been translated previously by others. I hope that my choice of items to translate, and the styles in which I have chosen to present them, will meet with the approval, or at least the understanding, of my readers.
The terms Mongolia and Mongolian need some explanation. In formal terms there is today only a single country named Mongolia. This is, roughly speaking, the territory which at one time was known as Outer Mongolia and then, from 1924 to 1992, as the Mongolian People’s Republic. It lies between Russia in the north and China in the south. More Mongols dwell outside Mongolia itself than within its borders. South of Mongolia lies the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of China, much influenced nowadays by Chinese culture, but linguistically and in other respects close to its northern neighbor.
