Hard cover. First edition. 460 p. The Records of the Historian, written two thousand years age by Szuma Chien of the Han Dynasty, is the greatest historical work China has produced. Many parts of it are fine literature. Thanks to Szuma Chien's rich experience of life, his enlightened approach to history and his brilliance as a man of letters, he was able to make a discriminating selection of material and to write a new form of history. His monumental work provides a realistic picture of many different historical figures and aspects of Han society, in addition to much information about earlier times. The excellent organization of this work, and its method of presenting history from various angles, made it a model for later historians from the Han to the Ching Dynasties. In fact, this became the accepted way of recording official history. The rich contents of the Records, its remarkable character sketches and its vast panoramic view of complex social life induced later prose writers to imitate its style. In this way it has had a profound influence on Chinese literature. Fine in very good dust jacket. light shelfwear to the jacket, first printing, 1975, in English.…
