Beschreibung
The Wallet of Kai Lung is a collection of fantasy stories by English writer Ernest Bramah, all but the last of which feature Kai Lung, an itinerant story-teller of ancient China. It was first published in hardcover in London by Grant Richards in 1900, and there have been numerous editions since. Its initial tale, "The Transmutation of Ling", was also issued by the same publisher as a separate chapbook in 1911. The collection's importance in the history of fantasy literature was recognized by the anthologization of two of its tales in the celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series, edited by Lin Carter and published by Ballantine Books; "The Vision of Yin" in Discoveries in Fantasy (March, 1972), and "The Transmutation of Ling" in Great Short Novels of Adult Fantasy Volume II (March, 1973).
Although the collection is presented in the fashion of a novel, with each of its component stories designated chapters, there is no overall plot aside from each of the first eight tales being presented as narratives told by Kai Lung at various points in his itinerant career. The final tale is represented as being from a manuscript left by its own separate first-person narrator, Kin Yen. ([...])

Über den Autor
Ernest Brammah Smith wrote under the name Ernest Bramah from March 20, 1868, until June 27, 1942. He was an English poet. He wrote 21 books and a lot of short stories and articles. Many people put his funny writing up there with that of Jerome K. Jerome and W. W. Jacobs. They also put his mystery stories up there with Conan Doyle, his political science fiction with H. G. Wells, and his supernatural stories with Algernon Blackwood. George Orwell said that What Might Have Been by Bramah had an effect on his book Nineteen Eighty-Four. Kai Lung and Max Carrados are characters that Bramah made up. Eric Ernest Brammah Smith was born in Manchester, England, in 1868. His middle name was spelled 'Brammah' instead of 'Bramah' on his birth certificate. He was the son of Charles Clement Smith and Susannah (Brammah) Smith. He quit Manchester Grammar School when he was 16 because he was near the bottom in every class. He learned how to be a farmer and then did it on his own. His father helped him with money. In a short time, he went from working in a workplace to being very rich.
