Abstract
This publication presents the Ukrainian translation of chapters V–VI (episodes 58–81) of the historical novel “Li Qingzhao” (“李清照”) written by the Hong Kong writer Nan Gongbo (南宮搏, 1924–1983). These episodes were published from June 23 to July 21, 1960, in Taiwan in the Central Daily News (中央日報). The events depicted in this part of the novel took place between 1113 and 1129.
There are 11 complete shi and ci poems by Tang and Song poets as well as certain lines from five poems (from the pre-Qing period to the Song dynasty). Since Nan Gongbo uses poetry as the basis for the plot, some of these poems describe the life of the Song aristocracy in the capital, while others are devoted to the contemplation of nature, thoughts about the past, and longing in separation, which generally corresponds to the events depicted in the novel.
The introductory paper presents the artistic and compositional features of this part of the novel and explains some mistakes made by the author in depicting the events. The notes provide explanations of terms and realities, and brief information about historical characters mentioned in the text as well.
