The Before Midnight Scholar

The Before Midnight Scholar

3.3/5 ( ratings)
Jou Pu Tuan, the Chinese title of Li Yu's novel, means 'The Prayer Mat of Flesh'. It was first published in about 1640 and its author's intentions were virtuous: to prove that a libertine's life could only end in spiritual poverty and disaster.

It is unlikely that anyone today would read this book as a moral treatise; but its purpose, and still more its author's benign gaiety, give it a charm and interest quite uncommon in erotic novels.
