Mountains and Rivers - The Poetic Soul of China
David Hinton has given us in one volume the perfect window into the poetic soul of China. The Mountains and Rivers tradition inspired both poetry and painting in classic China for centuries and is one of the highest flowerings of human civilization. Hinton compiles all of the best poets and poems of this tradition in good translation. His commentary and mini-bios are dead on. The book would have benefited from scattered illustrations of chinese landscape painting and caligraphy which were inseparable in the Chinese cultural mind.
