Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique collection of Chinese poems, translated to better convey the feelings and scenery present in the original texts. These poems, written during the Tang period, originally reflected the thoughts and emotions of the black -haired race. Drawing on the original Chinese (as opposed to the unsatisfactory English translations often presented) allows the work to provide the reader a clearer sense of the human experience the Chinese poets were alluding to. In presenting these Tang era poems without an overreliance on classical allusion - a practice which caused many poems to lose their meaning - the book offers insights into a particular time and place while also appealing to the broader human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
