Three Chinese Poets
Three Chinese Poets
Authors: Wang Wei, Li Bai, Du Fu, Vikram Seth
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9780143418177
The three T'ang dynasty poets translated here are among the greatest literary figures of China, or indeed the world. Responding differently to their common times, Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Du Fu crystallize the immense variety of China and the Chinese poetic tradition and, across a distance of twelve hundred years, move the reader as it is rare for even poetry to do.
