Bücher von Vikram Seth

A powerful love story from the author of the international bestseller A SUITABLE BOY

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.

* A story of love and survival amidst the great events of the twentieth century.
