《红楼梦》，又名《石头记》、《宝玉缘》、《风月宝鉴》，是中国古典四大名著之一，也是世界文学经典巨著之一，成书于清朝乾隆年间，作者是曹雪芹。

《红楼梦》是以数个主轴穿插众多小故事而写成的，因此关于《红楼梦》的主题，众说纷纭。其中贾宝玉和林黛玉及薛宝钗之间的爱情婚姻悲剧是大家所公认的主题之一，也有人认为这部巨著是传统中国贵族生活的真实写照。

This celebrated Chinese classic novel is a masterpiece of realism written in themiddle of the 18th century. Taking as its background the decline of several relatedbig families and drawing much from his own experiences, the author Can Xueqin(？-c.1763) focused on the tragic love between Jia Baoyou and Lin Daiyu and, inthe meantime, provided a panorama of the lives of people of various levels in thedegenerating empire. But he left the work unfinished (or the last 40 chapterswere lost). Gao E (c.1738- cA815) completed the work some years later in muchof Gao's spirit and also put in his own revelations, which aroused protractedcontroversy throughout the centuries. Exposing social evils, the book cries outits denunciation against the feudal system. All techniques of literal' merit developedin previous periods were incorporated into the great work with much originality. Itstands out in world literature, ranking with Hamlet and War and Peace. Illustratedwith woodblock prints.
