Description

This book, first published in 1965, covers a period of one thousand years and collects together some of the best examples of Chinese Lyrics (tz'u). The authors reflect in translation not only the spirit of the original, but also something of its poetical ornamentations and lyric pattern. The Chinese original of each poem faces the English and is written in a Chinese scholar's distinguished calligraphy. A 'Note on the Development of the Chinese Lyric' and several Appendices provide the reader with brief but illuminating social, cultural and historical background.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
