The first part of the story, The Golden Days, begins the tale of Bao-yu, a gentle young boy who prefers girls to Confucian studies, and his two cousins: Bao-chai, his parents' choice of a wife for him, and the ethereal beauty Dai-yu. Through the changing fortunes of the Jia family, this rich, magical work sets worldly events - love affairs, sibling rivalries, political intrigues, even murder - within the context of the Buddhist understanding that earthly existence is an illusion and karma determines the shape of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 8601300101316\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.0 x 1.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Chinese\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49089945469232,"sku":"Prakash_9780140442939","price":639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/penguin-classics-book-default-title-the-story-of-the-stone-the-golden-days-chapters-1-26-the-story-of-the-stone-1-38803953189168.jpg?v=1753012069","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-story-of-the-stone-the-golden-days-chapters-1-26-the-story-of-the-stone-1","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
