Lu Xun is undoubtedly the most important writer of the twentieth century in China. This book brings together his occasional articles published in newspapers and widely circulated magazines. The publication in Spanish of the collection of essays that make up Mixed Accents responds to a need to read his voice in our own language and is also a careful effort to weave together a varied and complex tapestry of themes and interventions. This book offers an approach to the climate of emergence and development of modern literature in China, traces the threads of thought that Lu Xun skillfully unfolds in his intellectual maturity, and, opening the door to an even greater interplay, reveals a world of words nourished by metaphors, literary references, exchanges and debates, thoughtful critiques, and vivid descriptions of everyday life that show us a rich panorama of the heterogeneity of the society, thought, and culture of his time. The encounter with the musicality of these blended tones invites us to blur the boundaries imposed by physical, semiotic, and temporal distances, opening ourselves directly and spontaneously to the experience of discovery and delight. Lu Xun was a Chinese writer. A leading figure of the May Fourth Movement, he is considered the father of modern Chinese literature.
