Paperback. Condition: New. Tao Yuan-ming stands first in the line of China's great lyric poets. Tao Yuan-ming, who lived around 400 A.D., stands first in the line of China's great lyric poets. Just as the Impressionists taught us to see in a new way, Tao taught the Chinese a lyrical attitude toward life. Creator of an intimate, honest, plain-spoken style, Tao was a man whose life spoke as eloquently as his art. Indeed, no poet's life and art have ever been more of a piece. Born into corrupt and turbulent times, Tao resigned his post as Magistrate, choosing to live the humble and difficult life of a farmer. He and his family would pay dearly for this choice, enduring hunger, cold and poverty. But he never wavered from it, holding steadfastly to the Confucian virtue of "firmness in adversity." For a scholar to live this kind of reclusive life, giving up wealth and power, represented the highest moral virtue to the Chinese Tao was given the posthumous title "Summoned Scholar of Tranquil Integrity." Integrity is certainly the first word that springs to mind in thinking of Tao.…

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. "This is a book about the coming of age of four women born in China in the 1980s and 1990s, dreaming of better futures. It is about Leiya, who wants to escape the fate of the women in her village. Still underage, she bluffs her way on to the factory floor. It is about June, who at fifteen sets what her family thinks is an impossible goal- to attend university rather than raise pigs. It is about Siyue, ranked second-to-bottom of her English class, who decides to prove her teachers wrong. And it is about Sam, who becomes convinced that the only way to change her country is to become an activist even as the authorities slowly take her peers from the streets. With unprecedented access to the lives, hopes, homes, dreams and diaries of four ordinary women over a period of six years, Private Revolutions gives a voice to those whose stories go untold. At a time of rising state censorship and suppression, it unearths the identity of modern Chinese society and, through the telling, something of our own"--Publisher's description.…

"The history of China is, in a way, a history of battles and wars. In fact, these events were so important that many of them have given rise to household proverbs and become an organic part of the culture of the nation. The eleven stories in the book are, undoubtedly, the most representative of warfare in ancient China, including the earliest and largest wars and those that led to the fall of empires and dynasties. The wars described in this book are not only spell-binding stories, but they also reflect the wisdom of ancient strategists, providing an insight into the attitudes and thinking of the ancient people about warfare and a window into ancient Chinese society."
