The Artisan's Chronicle/匠户志

Li Tie is one of the most distinctive voices in Chinese industrial literature. No one writes about factories, machines, and the people who work them with greater authenticity or deeper feeling. For decades, he has returned again and again to the world of industry-and this novel represents the fullest expression of that dedication. It is a work that not only tells a story but also honors the enduring spirit of craftsmanship and labor.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Chronicle of Artisans is a sweeping novel set in the industrial heartland of Northeast China.
