To Live as Long as Heaven and Earth: A Translation and Study of GE Hong's Traditions of Divine Transcendentsvolume 2
ISBN: 9780520230347 / Angielski / Twarda / 633 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In late classical and early medieval China, ascetics strove to become transcendents--deathless beings with supernormal powers. Practitioners developed dietetic, alchemical, meditative, gymnastic, sexual, and medicinal disciplines (some of which are still practiced today) to perfect themselves and thus transcend death. Narratives of their achievements circulated widely. Ge Hong (283-343 c.e.) collected and preserved many of their stories in his Traditions of Divine Transcendents, affording us a window onto this extraordinary response to human mortality.
