BERLIN cheap nike air max 90 ultra 2.0 , Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- ""It is as if the Song of the Nibelungs in the form of Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' had come upon us; 'Game of thrones' is Kindergarten when compared with it.""


It was the introduction of China's crown-jewel ancient literature, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, by German newspaper Die Welt in an article, following the publication of the first complete German translation of the classic by sinologist Eva Schestag.


Prior to this edition, presented by S. Fisher publishing house earlier this year with the name of Die Drei Reiche (meaning Three Kingdoms in English) cheap nike air max 90 ultra se , only 35 of the total 120 chapters had been translated into German by sinologist Franz Kuhn in the mid 20th century.


""It goes without saying that it was an honor and pleasure at the same time to have a chance to dedicate six years to the translation of this book,"" Schestag told Xinhua in an inclusive interview, adding the importance of this classic as well as the lack of a full-length German translation were motivations behind her work.


""It's a key to understanding the Asian culture,"" she said. Besides, the novel is so popular in China that the history of Three Kingdoms comes alive even in modern times through an array of media renditions cheap nike air max 90 ultra essential , including movies, TV series, video games, and board games, Schestag wrote in the postface of her book.


Looking back into the translation process cheap nike air max 90 ultra br , Schestag still recalled what a daunting task it seemed when she first started. ""It almost took my breath away, when I opened page 1 of about 2,000 to be translated - as if looking up from the foot of a high and steep mountain up to the peak.""


Since 2011 when she was officially commissioned with the translation, she had stayed for a long time at Looren Translators' House, a translators' residence nestled in the pre-alpine mountains in Switzerland cheap nike air vapormax womens , to retreat from almost all obligations other than translating.


The Romance of Three Kingdoms, acclaimed as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, is set in a tumultuous history across the second and third century A.D. when feudal lords of three states scramble for the rule of China following the decline of Han Dynasty(202 B.C.-220 A.D.).


The novel depicts plots, intrigues, battles cheap nike air vapormax black , military strategies, lives of feudal lords, and original Han Dynasty poems and prose, and above all, the Confucian values of loyalty and ""Yi"" cheap nike air vapormax mens , a term that generally translates into justice but means a variety of virtues.


Schestag believed the novel can only be paralleled with by Homer's Odyssey in terms of its influence and significance. ""These two literary works are comparable on the basis of the complexity of the plot and subplots and, last but not least, their influence on the subsequent literature of their respective cultural areas.""


Also like Odyssey, the Romance of Three Kingdoms is embedded with a motif that transcends time and national borders. To Schestag, the motif of this Chinese classic is the clash between tradition cheap nike air vapormax , order and values as inherited by the forefathers, and pragmatism, necessary to adapt to the changing requirements of the modern world.


Apart from this motif, the strategies applied to outwit the enemy, opposing values like loyalty and pragmatism cheap nike air max 2017 womens , courage and recklessness as discussed in the novel are all elements that make the book ""relevant and interesting at all times and for all peoples"".


Schestag would not rest on the laurels of translating of this monumental work, but will continue introducing ancient Chinese literature to the German language world, perhaps, with a translation of Shiji, or Records of the Grand Historian cheap nike air max 2017 mens , another monumental history book of ancient China compiled about 2,000 years ago, as she planned.

BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- After the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) announced it has successfully carried out another nuclear test on Friday, the international community voiced its strong condemnation over the event.


The DPRK's state-run television made the announcement early Friday, making the test the fifth of its kind in the country.


After a closed-door meeting on the matter, the United Nations Security Council on Friday issued a press statement, saying "a clear threat to international peace and security continues to exist" with the DPRK's latest test.


"The members of the Security Council will begin to work immediately on appropriate measures under Article 41 (of the UN Charter) and a Security Council resolution," Ambassador Gerard Jacobus van Bohemen of New Zealand, the council's president for this month, told reporters.


The 15-member Security Council has imposed severe sanctions on Pyongyang in March, including an export ban and asset freeze.


The International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) on Friday said the nuclear test by DPRK is a deeply troubling and regrettable act.


"This is in clear violation of numerous UN Security Council resolutions and in complete disregard of the repeated demands of the international community," the agency Chief Yukiya Amano remarked.


U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday called the DPRK's latest nuclear test "a grave threat" to regional and international peace and stability.


Obama said he had spoken separately by phone with South Korean President Park Geun-Hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the issue.
