''Letters Back to Ancient China / Briefe in die chinesische Vergangenheit'' is a German book about the adventures of the time-travelling medieval Chinese mandarin Kao-tai. Having arrived not only 1000 years to the future, but also at the wrong place (Munich, Bavaria) he struggles a lot to understand our world. (For kids: Well, without wide-spread internet, cell phones and such.) The novel is written as an epistolary novel; we only see Kao-tai's letters.

Early in the story, Kao-tai renders German in Chinese syllables - Mark becomes Ma'l'ch. Later, he translates the words to a poetic style - like when he wonders why a famous author is only called "the man" ("Mann" in German).
Added DiffLines:
** After reading ''Literature/{{Buddenbrooks}}'', Kao-tai wants to read more books by Thomas Mann. However, his description of ''Magic Mountain'' is that nothing happens except everyone's sick on the lungs.
