Ch'ing, a Chinese Book of Love. From Early Times to the Modern Age - John Minford - książka
Producent: Reaktion Books
This groundbreaking collection unveils, for the first time in English, a vibrant tapestry of Chinese literature centered around themes of love—sensual, romantic, and rapturous. It explores this rich tradition from ancient works such as the Book of Songs to the avant-garde poetry of the twentieth century. By defying the notion that Chinese literature is predominantly shaped by Confucian ideals, the anthology highlights the Taoist perspective that views physical desire as a harmonious element of the cosmos. The included works consist of lyrical hymns, risqué stories, songs from entertainment houses, philosophical reflections, and guides for lovers, portraying the vast and diverse traditions of erotic and emotional expression in Chinese literature. With translations that maintain both the grace and clarity of the original texts, alongside stunning seventeenth-century erotic woodblock illustrations, the anthology gives readers an insightful glimpse into the pleasures, desires, and poetic elegance found in Chinese love writings throughout history.
