Opis

Bai Juyi (772-846), a great poet of the Tang Dynasty of China, is a famous and very influential writer in Chinese literary history. Called the King of Poetry, his writing is realistic, on a wide variety of topics, and simple and "down-to-earth." Here are five of what many consider to be his masterpieces, in a fresh English translation, and accompanied by the original Chinese. Their titles are: The Rhyme of the Lute, The Charcoal Seller, Farewell at the Grasslands, On Seeing Wheat Harvesters, and The Song of Eternal Regret.
