Summary: one point of view
Comment: For a book of so broad a scope hinted by the title, it's quite natural for the editor(s) to either squeeze short the width of its coverage or sacrifice the depth in its content. Barely do you find both in a single book of such a volume at once. With this in mind, the book is very good in general but caught short in the latter in particular. I cite an example, among others, of the topic on Chinese Literature, with which I am most familiar. The entries what follows is limited, as a whole, to the classical literature translation, a relatively familiar theme that an English language reader may find in other books of the same subject. No account is a bit given of the mordern Chinese literature translation, not even mention of the contemporary one. I found too similar situation in the treatment of the other languages it covers. I felt still it's a great book to have on my bookshelf in the literature category, however, it's hoped that supplement and enhancement of such will be due in future editions. One more thing, the tag price is outrageous.
