Clayre, Alasdair HEART OF THE DRAGON
Houghton Mifflin 1986 0395418372 / 9780395418376 First Edition Softcover Very Good+
Very nice, clean, tight condition. Pages are clean and unmarked. Cover has some scuffing and very light corner wear. Profusely illustrated. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; " ..... This beautifully written and well-organized book may be enjoyed in its entirety. The author explores 11 areas of Chinese life: remembering (emperors) , believing, marrying, meditating, eating, living, working, correcting, understanding (the body and the universe) , creating (fine arts) and trading. Lovely and recent color photographs embellish each chapter, whether they show a family eating a simple meal or the traditional customs of a remote region. Pencil and charcoal drawings from past centuries show a variety of scenes also. The chapters are well-defined in scope and manageable in length. Clearly and in a straightforward style, Clayre blends the realities of modern China with a great deal of information about its past. The author acknowledges his debt to the Chinese authorities for granting freedom of movement throughout China and for the assistance of the Chinese news services. He has been careful not to offend his hosts; consequently, the tone of the book reflects a definite party line, and the brutal subjugation of the people to the current political ruling body is not emphasized. .." [919]
