Why You’ll Love It Set in pre-revolutionary China, Midnight is a powerful literary portrayal of urban capitalist society and class struggle. Penned by Mao Tun (also known as Mao Dun), one of China's most influential modern realist writers, the novel explores the human cost of rapid industrialisation and the crumbling morality of the bourgeoisie in 1930s Shanghai. This 1979 second edition by Foreign Languages Press is presented in a sturdy hardcover format with a striking dust jacket, ideal for readers of translated Chinese literature or collectors of historic socialist publications.
