Poems of the Masters
China's Classic Anthology of T'ang and Sung Dynasty Verse
Poetry is China's greatest art, and Poems of the Masters is one of the classics of Chinese literature. For eight centuries, this anthology of T'ang- and Sung-dynasty poetry has been a part of every student's education. Translated in its entirety for the first time into English, this bilingual edition includes the most-quoted poems in the Chinese language by the giants of the tradition — Tu Fu, Li Pai, and Wang Wei — as well as poems by writers little known in the West.
As in his previous Chinese translations, Red Pine's concise, direct treatment of the poetry, his celebrated scholarship and extensive notes allow the English reader to experience one of the world's great books.
