Our best-selling series
CTE Chinese Annotated Classics
Complete English classics with Chinese annotations, prepared by our editors for readers who want to read great literature and ideas in the original. The first seven books in our Classics of English Literature series are all titles from the GCSE reading list.
How our annotated editions work
Vocabulary
Words beyond China's high school English curriculum (3,000 words) are footnoted with the one meaning that fits the context.
Difficult sentences
Complex sentences are set in italics, with sidenotes giving a Chinese translation and an explanation of structure and grammar.
Cultural background
Notes on cultural references and literary allusions help readers understand the text in depth.
So readers can enjoy timeless classics in their original language, independently.
Academic publishing
An Introduction to Western Moral Philosophy
An introduction to key thinkers and issues in moral philosophy, designed for an international readership.
