About this Item

New hardcover in pictorial laminated boards, no DJ as issued. Tight binding, covers bright and shiny, no edgewear, sharp corners. No markings of any kind, no names, no bent pages. 4to, 64 pages, color illustrations, illustrated endpapers.� Actual book is pictured. See images provided. Synopsis: In this new interpretation and orientation of the�I Ching,�Dr. Siu not only continues the ancient Chinese custom of providing commentary on the text but has also included relevant passages taken from the world's literature, spanning 6,000 years and representing 60 countries. An astonishing range of men is called on to offer commentaries on the text: poets and scientists, tyrants and saints, hermits and adventurers, anonymous storytellers and classic men of letters about 700 excerpts by 650 writers. Thus the commentary becomes as universal in its range as the�I Ching�itself is universal in its meaning. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
