«Réveiller les morts» (起死) is a story by Lu Xun, published by Éditions du non-agir in paperback (46 pages, bilingual Chinese-French edition).
A brief work in the form of a one-act play, taken from «Histoires anciennes, revisitées». Tchuang Tseu learns that a resurrected man does not thank him for the favor; with irony, the piece satirizes false Taoist masters and intellectuals who despise the people. Lu Xun uses Chinese myths to criticize the ills of his era.
French translation by Alexis Brossollet. Bilingual paperback edition of 46 pages, published in 2014.
Edition aimed at intermediate-level Chinese students wishing to progress in reading short literary texts with French support.
