Chinese Literature

The four great classical novels of China are 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' 'Water Margin' (also called 'Outlaws of the Marsh'), 'Journey to the West' and 'Story of the Stone' (also called 'Dream of the Red Chamber'). They are among the world's longest and oldest novels.
This list includes philosophy, drama, poetry, memoirs and fiction by Chinese authors (born in China or Taiwan) translated to or written in English. It is by no means exhaustive!
