Voltaire and the Orphan of China (伏尔泰与《中国孤儿》)

《伏尔泰与<中国孤儿》主要内容简介：中国元代剧作家纪君祥的《赵氏孤儿》西传欧洲，被法国文豪伏尔泰改编为《中国孤儿》。这一部中国悲剧不断地被各国翻译、评论和改编，使欧洲在18世纪中期风行起了强大的"赵氏孤儿"热，也把在欧洲17世纪末兴起的"中国热"逐步推向了顶峰，（This book is a historical record of how The Orphan of Zhao wri t ten by Ji Junxiang, a playwright of the Yuan Dynasty, was adapted into The Orphan of China by Voltaire. Since then, this Chinese tragedy had been repeatedly translated, reviewed and adapted by different countries, creating the "craze for The Orphan of Zhao" across Europe in the mid-18th century. The "China Fever," which emerged in Europe at the end of 17th century, also reached its climax at that time.）
