paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Experience dramatic mountain vistas and karst caves with China's most famous travel writerXu Xiake stands as China's most distinguished traveler and travel writer, whose extensive journeys through Ming-dynasty China offer a unique window into the eras geography, history, and cultural traditions. This new, fully annotated English translation of Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake (Xu Xiake youji) demonstrates his characteristic emphasis on the experience of the journey itself in the context of his lifelong search for extraordinary landscapesranging from dramatic Mount Huang to multiethnic Lijiang in Yunnan. The diaries are known for both their literary and scientific significance. Notably, Xu was among the first to trace the source of the Changjiang (or Yangzi) to the Gold Dust (Jinsha) River and to undertake scientific exploration of karst caves in the southwest. Late-imperial Chinese armchair travelers delighted in his narrative prose, which vividly evokes terrain, inviting readers to experience scenic wonders, including topography of the remote border regions of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan. Along with the translated diaries, this volume includes maps and illustrations, allowing readers to follow Xu's routes. It will be indispensable for scholars of Chinese history, geography, and travel writing and will bring Xu Xiake's extraordinary journeys to a broader audience.

Paperback. Condizione: New. First-hand accounts of travel provide windows into places unknown to the reader, or new ways of seeing familiar places. In Jade Mountains and Cinnabar Pools, the first book-length treatment in English of Chinese travel literature (youji), James M. Hargett identifies and examines core works in the genre, from the Six Dynasties period (220-581), when its essential characteristics emerged, to its florescence in the late Ming dynasty (1368-1644). He traces the dynamic process through which the genre, most of which was written by scholars and officials, developed, and shows that key features include a journey toward an identifiable place; essay or diary format; description of places, phenomena, and conditions, accompanied by authorial observations, comments, and even personal feelings; inclusion of sensory details; and narration of movement through space and time.Travel literature's inclusion of a variety of writing styles and purposes has made it hard to delineate. Hargett finds, however, that classic pieces of Chinese travel literature reveal much about the author, his values, and his view of the world, which in turn tells us about the author's society, making travel literature a rich source of historical information.…
