Description: Not much Vietnam literature of the period 1930-1954 has been translated into English, although many prominent Vietnamese authors wrote remarkable literary texts that capture the realities of life vividly, literarily, and truthfully. Luminous Nights introduces selected short stories by such classical writers as Nguyễn Công Hoan, Vũ Trọng Phụng, Thạch Lam, Nhất Linh, Nguyễn Tuân, Tô Hoài, Nam Cao, and Kim Lân. This short-story collection demonstrates the richness and diversity of voices and perspectives in modern Vietnamese literature.
