A Little Primer of Tu Fu (Paperback)
Book 4 of 8: CalligramsLanguage: English
Published by The Chinese University Press, Hong Kong, 2016
ISBN 10: 962996659X ISBN 13: 9789629966591
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is a indispensible introduction to one of China's greatest poets for anyone interested in Chinese poetry or the poetic form more generally.The deepest and most varied of the Tang Dynasty poets, Tu Fu (Du Fu) is, in the words of David Hinton, the "first complete poetic sensibility in Chinese literature." Tu Fu merged the public and the private, often in the same poem, as his subjects ranged from the horrors of war to the delights of friendship, from closely observed landscapes to remembered dreams, from the evocation of historical moments to a wry lament over his own thinning hair.Although Tu Fu has been translated often, and often brilliantly, David Hawkes's classic study, first published in 1967, is the only book that demonstrates in depth how his poems were written. Hawkes presents thirty-five poems in the original Chinese, with a pinyin transliteration, a character-by-character translation, and a commentary on the subject, the form, the historical background, and the individual lines. There is no other book quite like it for any language- a nuts-and-bolts account of how Chinese poems in general, and specifically the poems of one of the world's greatest poets, are constructed. It's an irresistible challenge for readers to invent their own translations. Demonstrates in depth how the poems were written. This book is an account of how Chinese poems in general, and specifically the poems of one of the world's greatest poets, are constructed.

Chinese Rhyme-Prose (Paperback)
Book 1 of 8: CalligramsLanguage: English
Published by The Chinese University Press, Sha Tin, 2015
ISBN 10: 9629965631 ISBN 13: 9789629965631
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Out of print for decades until now, Burton Watson's masterful translations of fu, an ancient form of Chinese poetry, bring to life deserted cities, goddesses, and owls, and, above all, stand as one of the most critical contributions to our understanding of Chinese poetry.Selected as one of the sixty-five masterpieces for the UNESCO Collection of Representative WorksThe fu, or rhyme-prose, is a major poetic form in Chinese literature, most popular between the 2nd century b.c. and 6th century a.d. Unlike what is usually considered Chinese poetry, it is a hybrid of prose and rhymed verse, more expansive than the condensed lyrics, verging on what might be called Whitmanesque. The thirteen long poems included here are descriptions of and meditations on such subjects as mountains and abandoned cities, the sea and the wind, owls and goddesses, partings and the idle life.Burton Watson is universally considered the foremost English-language translator of classical Chinese and Japanese literature for the past five decades. Gary Snyder calls him a "great and graceful scholar," and Robert Aitken has written that "Burton Watson is a superb translator because he knows what literature is." Here his seemingly effortless translations are accompanied by a comprehensive introduction to the development and characteristics of the fu form, as well as excerpts from contemporary commentary on the genre. A path-breaking study of pre-modern Chinese literature and an essential volume for poetry readers, the book has been out of print for decades. For this edition, Lucas Klein has provided a preface that considers both the fu form and Watson's extraordinary work as a whole. Collection of Representative Works The fu, or rhyme-prose, is a major poetic form in Chinese literature, most popular between the 2nd century bc and 6th century ad. This book features thirteen long poems included here are descriptions of and meditations on such subjects as mountains and abandoned cities, the sea and the wind, owls and goddesses.

The Three Leaps Of Wang Lun (Paperback)
Book 3 of 8: CalligramsLanguage: English
Published by The Chinese University Press, Sha Tin, 2015
ISBN 10: 962996564X ISBN 13: 9789629965648
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An epic from the author of the best-selling Berlin Alexanderplatz, this was Alfred D blin's first book, also known as the first Western novel to depict China before its contact with Europeans.In 1915, fourteen years before Berlin Alexanderplatz, Alfred D blin published his first novel, an extensively researched Chinese historical extravaganza- The Three Leaps of Wang Lun. Even more remarkably, given its subject matter, the book was written in Expressionist style and is now considered the first modern German novel, as well as the first Western novel to depict a China untouched by the West. It is virtually unknown in English. Based on actual accounts of a doomed rebellion during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the late 18th century, the novel tells the story of Wang Lun, a historical martial arts master and charismatic leader of the White Lotus sect, who leads a futile revolt of the "Truly Powerless." Densely packed cities and Tibetan wastes, political intrigue and religious yearning, imperial court life and the fate of wandering outcasts are depicted in a language of enormous vigor and matchless imagination, unfolding the theme of timidity against force, and a mystical sense of the world against the realities of power. Based on actual accounts of a doomed rebellion during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the late 18th century, the novel tells the story of Wang Lun, a historical martial arts master and charismatic leader of the White Lotus sect, who leads a futile revolt of the "Truly Powerless."
