Waddell L. A.
The Buddhism of Tibet or Lamaism
Contents: 1. Historical. 2. Doctrinal. 3. Monastic. 4. Buildings. 5. Mythology and Gods. 6. Ritual and sorcery. 7. Festivals and plays. 8. Popular Lamaism. Appendices. Index. "The special characteristics of the book are its detailed accounts of the external facts and curious symbolisms of Buddhism, and its analyses of the internal movements leading to Lamaism and its sects and cults. It provides material culled from hoary Tibetan tradition and explained by Lamas for elucidating many obscure parts in primitive Indian Buddhism and its later symbolism. Thus a clue is supplied to several dispute doctrinal points of fundamental importance, as for example the formula of the casual nexus. "With this view the nabulous Tibetan "history" so called of the earlier periods has been somewhat critically examined in the light afforded by some scholarly Lamas and contemporary history and all fictitious chronicles, hitherto treated usually as historical and rejected as authoritative for events which happened a thousand years before they were written and for a time when writing was admittedly unknown in Tibet." 598 pp

Grosser Pierre
Dall'Asia al mondo. Un'altra visione del XX Secolo
8vo, rileg. ed.in sovracoperta, pp-709. Sapevate che la vittoria del Giappone sulla Russia nel 1905 fu decisiva per il gioco delle alleanze che avrebbe portato alla prima guerra mondiale? O che fu in Manciuria alla fine degli anni Venti che iniziò la seconda guerra mondiale? Che la guerra fredda è nata in Asia nell'estate del 1945 e che questo è anche il luogo in cui l'ordine internazionale è stato ricomposto alla fine degli anni Settanta? Basando in particolare il suo lavoro su quelli di storici cinesi, giapponesi o coreani, Pierre Grosser dimostra come Regno Unito, Russia e Stati Uniti siano state - e siano tuttora, a tutti gli effetti - delle potenze asiatiche. Grosser interrompe la visione tradizionalmente incentrata sul mondo euro-americano, senza cedere alla tentazione di fare l'ennesimo processo all'eurocentrismo, né cadere in qualche forma di asiocentrismo o terzomondismo. Un saggio che inaugura un nuovo capitolo nella storia delle relazioni internazionali del «lungo» Ventesimo secolo, dal quale non siamo ancora usciti.

Introduction a l'histoire de l'Asie; Turcs et Mongols des origines a 1405
8vo, xii-519pp. reliure mi-veau. Excerpt: Turcs Et Mongols, des Origines à 1405 Jusqu'à l'époque où la science et la méthode ont primé la foi et la force brutale, les Turcs et les Mongols ont dominé l'asie et l'eur0pe orientale; l'élan religieux a été pour si peu que rien dans leur éclatante fortune; au temps de leur plus grande puissance, leur empire typique, celui des Mongols, n'avait pas de religion définie; mais tout ce qu'on peut faire avec le sabre, les Turcs et les Mongols l'ont fait; ils ont incarné l'esprit militaire; leurs vertus sont celles des vrais gens de guerre, le courage, l'obeissance, la droiture, le bon sens; ils ont été d'exacts gouvernants, de fermes administra teurs; loin de mépriser l'art et la science, ils ont honoré les choses intellectuelles; ils ont essayé de se les incor porer, de se les rendre naturelles. Mais le moule de leur pensée originale était trop étroit et rudimentaire pour contenir et transformer la civilisation persane ou chi noise; enfermée de force dans ce moule, elle ne tardait pas à le briser, et a perdre l'empreinte que lui donnaient, pour un instant, la droiture et la netteté de vision qui sont naturels àl'espritturc; ces conquérants n'ont pas pu développer, dans leur voie propre et'avec leur intelligence innée, ce qu'ils avaient appris des Persans et des Chinois.

Essere o vivere. Il pensiero occidentale e il pensiero cinese in venti Contrasti
8vo, br. ed. Essere o vivere: due grandi prospettive, due modi di abitare il mondo, di accostarsi agli uomini e agli esseri che lo popolano. L'Europa guarda il mondo nella prospettiva dell'Essere, la Cina nella prospettiva del vivere. L'Europa vede cose, la Cina eventi. L'Europa pensa per individui, la Cina per situazioni. Noi pensiamo ad andare al di là, loro si preoccupano di stare "tra". Noi crediamo nella nostra libertà, la riaffermiamo in un confronto accanito con il mondo, loro scommettono sulla disponibilità di un contesto, si dispongono ad accompagnarne le tante trasformazioni possibili. Con questo libro, vera e propria summa di un lavoro trentennale, François Jullien ci accompagna in un viaggio affascinante attraverso venti tappe, venti incontri, venti coppie concettuali che, nella loro dissonanza, riaprono i giochi nelle nostre tranquille abitudini di pensiero. Perché Jullien non mira tanto a comparare e a scegliere, o magari a integrare e ricomporre le differenze tra Oriente e Occidente; mira piuttosto a produrre uno scarto, ad aprire un varco nello spazio grigio del pensiero globalizzato, a interrogare l'Europa dal punto di vista della Cina e la Cina dal punto di vista dell'Europa. A fare dell'una un'occasione e una risorsa per l'altra.

La Casa Dell'oppio
8vo, br. ed. 128pp. "Il villaggio di Fengyangshu si estendeva per venticinque chilometri, venticinque chilometri di strada di terra bruna coperta dalle orme dei tuoi antenati. Su metà delle terre si coltivava una strana pianta: il papavero da oppio..." "La casa dell'oppio" è considerato tra le espressioni più rappresentative della letteratura d'avanguardia cinese, genere letterario in cui la riflessione e la sperimentazione del linguaggio rispondevano all'esigenza di superare la lingua schematica e standardizzata della comunicazione politica, che aveva saturato per decenni la letteratura e ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana cinese. Il romanzo racconta il lento e tragico declino di una famiglia di proprietari terrieri arricchitisi con la coltivazione ed il commercio dell'oppio in un immaginario villaggio del sud della Cina, microcosmo rappresentativo di tutta la Cina rurale, dove l'indifferenza, la crudeltà, la fame, l'iniquità e gli istinti primordiali muovono gli uomini e regolano le loro relazioni.

Racconti Fantastici
8o, br. ed. 128pp.Pubblicati tra il 1989 e il 1999, un periodo particolarmente vivace per la letteratura cinese appena affrancatasi dai limiti imposti dal realismo socialista, questi racconti sono uniti da un filo comune: la presenza, a volte appena accennata, a volte dominante, di elementi fantastici o soprannaturali all’interno del quotidiano. Fantasmi, spiriti, angeli, mostri, bambini giganti appaiono in modo imprevisto e inspiegabile, interrompendo la linearità logica della narrazione e aprendo una crepa verso un mondo che supera la percezione e si proietta verso il sogno, la fantasia e l’allucinazione. La mantella ricamata, le enormi farfalle multicolori, il grande fiore rosso di loto, la giara, le risaie inaridite e gli spaventapasseri sono gli elementi ricorrenti che contribuiscono a produrre una sensazione di irrealtà, come se gli oggetti e gli stessi personaggi, pur calati nel nostro mondo, si trovassero a tratti come sospesi tra cielo e terra.

Figures de l'immanence. Pour une lecture Philosophique Du Yi King
16mo, br. ed. 400pp.Le Yi king ou Classique du changement est le livre de fonds de la civilisation chinoise. Il est né du tracé de deux marques simples, un trait continu et un trait discontinu (yang et yin), exprimant la polarité à l'œuvre dans tout processus. Il s'agit au départ d'un dispositif opératoire servant à la divination en même temps que de combinatoire, se développant en figures, révélant la régulation à détecter dans toute situation. En s'appuyant sur la lecture de Wang Fuzhi, grand penseur chinois du XVIIe siècle, François Jullien montre les effets de cohérence constitués au fil du texte qui commente ces figures et en y suivant les variations de l'immanence. Car le Yi king prétend rendre le monde intelligible sans recourir ni au mythe ni au discours, en passant à côté à la fois de l'Être et de Dieu. François Jullien se propose ainsi de retirer le Yi king des mains des gourous pour l'ouvrir à un usage philosophique.

Coe Andrew
Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States
8vo, hardcover in dj. In 1784, passengers on the ship Empress of China became the first Americans to land in China, and the first to eat Chinese food. Today, the United States is home to more Chinese restaurants than any other ethnic cuisine. In this authoritative new history, author Andrew Coe traces the fascinating story of America's centuries-long encounter with Chinese food. CHOP SUEY tells how we went from believing that Chinese meals contained dogs and rats to makingregular pilgrimages to the neighborhood chop suey parlor. From China, the book follows the story to the American West, where both Chinese and their food struggled against racism, and then to New York and that crucial moment when Chinese cuisine first crossed over to the larger population. Along this journey, Coe shows how the peasant food of an obscure part of China came to dominate Chinese-American restaurants; unravels the truth of chop suey's origin; illuminates why American Jews fell in love with egg rolls and chow mein; and shows how Nixon's 1972 trip to China opened our palates to a new world of cuisine; and explains why we still can't get dishes like restaurants serve in China. The book also shows how larger historical forces shape our tastes-the belief in ManifestDestiny, the American assertion of military might in the Pacific, and the country's post-WWII rise to superpower status. Written for both popular and academic audiences, CHOP SUEY reveals this story through prose that brings to life the characters, settings and meals that helped form this crucialcomponent of American food culture.

Mighty Opposites: From Dichotomies to Differences in the Comparative Study of China
8vo, original cloth , no dj, viii + 248pp, index, notes, ex-library stamps, ow. a very good copy. This book transcends the boundaries of Chinese studies and scholarship on Western literature and critical theory, bringing together the two fields in a way that questions both the application of Western theory to Chinese materials and the resistance to theory in sinological scholarship. Recognizing that social and historical reality is external to discourse and that knowledge has an inevitable ethical import, the author argues for the importance of reality and lived experience in understanding a culture as well as the moral responsibility of such understanding. The book examines the discrepancies between various Western representations of China and the reality of China; inquires into the cultural, historical, and political contexts within which such discrepancies arise; and points out the distortion of reality in the tendency toward cultural dichotomies, the tendency to view China as the conceptual opposite of the West.

Santangelo Paolo
Il sogno in Cina. L'immaginario collettivo attraverso la narrativa Ming e Qing
8vo, br. ed. pp.244. Il volume presenta un gran numero di esempi tratti dalla letteratura mostrando come, anche in Oriente, l'esperienza onirica abbia dato luogo a straordinarie credenze sui poteri attribuiti al sogno. In base alla frequenza e alla natura dei sogni, secondo Feng Manglong (1574-1646) è possibile distinguere gli uomini: è noto che i saggi e gli stolti non sognano, mentre singolari sono i sogni delle persone originali, le cui emozioni sono speciali e l'animo è puro. Ma al fondo rimane il mistero che il sogno solleva sulla nostra stessa identità. Così Maury sogna l'assalto alla Bastiglia la notte che la testiera del letto gli cade sul collo e il protagonista del "Sogno del miglio giallo" ripercorre le vicende di una vita nel tempo della cottura del cereale.

Lévi Jean
Réflexions chinoises : Lettrés, stratèges et excentriques de Chine
8vo, br. ed. 253pp. Dans cet essai brillant qui se présente comme une promenade en compagnie d'un guide éclairé, Jean Levi aborde de grandes questions comme la relation maître-disciple, la transmission, la traduction ou encore la philosophie comme mode d'expression littéraire, tout en présentant d'importantes figures chinoises et leur pensée. Recourant à des exemples concrets, des dialogues allégoriques, ironiques, aporétiques, il fait vivre la pensée chinoise en l'incarnant. Des Entretiens de Confucius aux grands auteurs de stratégie et d'art de la guerre et de la politique, Sunzi et Hanfei, en passant par le poète anarchiste Xikong, Jean Levi cherche à combler le fossé entre les philosophies occidentales et orientales par une réflexion sur le langage et la dialectique, mais sans sombrer dans un comparatisme absurde et en évitant des rapprochements qui ne seraient que poudre aux yeux. L'auteur n'isole jamais les figures de leur contexte historique, mais sait replacer les faits dans l'histoire de la Chine, à laquelle il ne réduit cependant pas les pensées. La tradition romanesque n'est pas oubliée et, avec le Roman des Trois Royaumes, il s'interroge sur le cas d'un livre populaire entré dans le patrimoine littéraire. Un livre intelligemment polémique, qui se termine par une critique virulente de François Jullien, de sa méthode et du miroir déformant qu'il donne de la Chine, de la philosophie chinoise et du fossé entre Orient et Occident. À Travers Les Parcours Exemplaires D'excentriques Et De Rebelles De La Chine Ancienne, Jean Levi Interroge Les Deux Dimensions Essentielles De La Civilisation Chinoise, Wen, Lettrée, Et Wu, Militaire, Dans Leur Rapport Ambigu Au Langage. Des Entretiens De Confucius Aux Traités De Stratégie Et D'art De La Guerre Et De La Politique De Sunzi Et Han Fei, En Passant Par Les Poèmes De L'anarchiste Xi Kang, Il Aborde Les Questions De La Relation Maître-Disciple, La Transmission, La Traduction Ou Encore La Philosophie Comme Mode D'expression Littéraire.

Il est né du tracé de deux marques simples, un trait continu et un trait discontinu, expression de la polarité du réel, et à partir desquelles s?est développé un ensemble de commentaires qu?on connaît sous le nom de Classique du changement. En s?appuyant sur celui de Wang Fuzhi, grand penseur chinois du XVIIe siècle, François Jullien montre les effets de cohérence que crée le texte ainsi constitué, et la logique qui l?ordonne : celle de l?immanence. Car le Yi king prétend rendre le monde intelligible sans la médiation du mythe ou du discours. L?auteur cherche à soustraire le Yi king aux regards que son mystère a rendus suspicieux, tout en évitant l?écueil des fantasmes idéologiques que projette l?Occident, pour en faire un outil philosophique.

Liu Zaifu
A Study of Two Classics A Cultural Critique of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin
8vo, . Hardback. Condition: New. Language: English . 8vo. Ever since they were written in the fourteenth century, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin have been considered masterpieces of traditional Chinese fiction. People from different social strata have read them and remembered their stories and characters. Since the early twentieth century, Chinese critics have regarded them as part and parcel of their country s literary heritage, offering largely positive artistic assessments even as they criticize their feudal elements. In contemporary China the popularity of the two novels has made them logical choices for adaptation, resulting, for example, in a large number of films and TV dramas based on episodes in the two novels. Given their importance in traditional Chinese literature, these two classics have garnered a tremendous amount of critical attention from scholars. However, nearly all critics have treated them as literary works, failing to explore, in a concentrated manner, their cultural values even as they acknowledge their widespread social influence. This book is not a work of literary criticism in the conventional sense. Rather, it is a cultural/ideological critique. Liu Zaifu s interest lies not in the artistry of the two novels but in the cultural values they reflect and spread. In summing up the worship of violence as the ideal in The Water Margin and the worship of trickery as the ideal in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Zaifu uses the two novels as windows to look into certain unhealthy aspects of Chinese culture, linking the novels enduring popularity and social impact to the Chinese national character. Liu also contrasts the two novels with other classics, such as The Classic of Mountains and Seas and The Dream of the Red Chamber, to demonstrate the multiplicity of Chinese culture. As he calls the two classics into question, he continues to carry the May Fourth critical spirit in contemporary China and expands the scope of cultural criticism. A Study of Two Classics is the first book that focuses exclusively on the cultural values of the two classics. In addition, Liu Zaifu examines how traditional commentators like Jin Shengtan and Li Zhi promoted the cultural values embedded in the two classics and how these harmful values are received and reinforced in contemporary China. He draws inspiration from May Fourth intellectuals, particularly Lu Xun, and from a wide range of works by Western scholars. For instance, he uses Oswald Spengler s notion of pseudomorphosis to explain the degeneration and falsification of certain values in Chinese culture. As he engages in cultural comparison either implicitly or explicitly he also asks questions about modernity and modernization. Liu s style is essayistic, which allows him to bring both erudition and personal observation into play. Originally written for a Chinese audience, this highly anticipated translated work will help English-speaking readers understand the issues a leading contemporary Chinese critic tries to address. This is a critical book for scholars and students in Asian studies and literature. This book is part of the Cambria Sinophone World Series (series editor: Victor H. Mair).

Yang Xii
La shampista e altre storie D'amore
8vo, br. ed. Una giovane prostituta, un impiegato delle pompe funebri, una bella sciampista venuta dalla campagna, uno strano pittore-businessman, giovani alla ricerca del senso della vita: attraverso vivide e rapide pennellate di colore, Xi Yang lascia sfilare davanti ai nostri occhi i personaggi di una Cina profonda e vera in cui gli eroi, stanchi di aver occupato la scena durante decenni di realismo più o meno socialista, hanno lasciato il posto agli antieroi. La vita e la morte dei protagonisti si giocano in ambienti chiusi, ristretti, una camera da letto, un bar, un salone di bellezza, in una città che non viene mai nominata ma che facilmente possiamo riconoscere come la Shangai di oggi, falsa perla dell'estremo oriente. Tutto è trucco, facciata, niente è ciò che sembra.

I tredici Passi
8vo, ril. ed. sovracoperta, pp.356. Stremato dalla fatica, il professor Fang Fugui, che insegna fisica in un liceo, muore mentre è in cattedra. Il suo corpo viene portato alle pompe funebri «Belmondo» dove il chirurgo plastico Li Yuchan dovrebbe prepararlo per la cerimonia. Ma poiché è impegnata a rendere presentabile il vice sindaco della città, suo ex amante (deve renderlo magro per dimostrare lo stile di vita frugale dei dirigenti del partito), il corpo del professore viene messo in attesa in una stanza frigorifera. Qui resuscita e fugge. Sulla via di casa, cade in un cantiere aperto e si ricopre completamente di calce; la moglie, credendolo un fantasma, lo caccia. Allora bussa alla porta dei vicini che sono Zhang Hongqiu, professore di fisica nel suo stesso liceo, e sua moglie, Li Yuchan, il chirurgo plastico delle pompe funebri. Poiché preferiscono saperlo morto, per farne un emblema della triste condizione degli insegnanti, i tre dirigenti della scuola decidono di dare a Fang i connotati di Zhang (grazie alle abilità chirurgiche di Li Yuchan), con l'intesa che andrà a insegnare al liceo al suo posto, mentre il secondo cercherà di far soldi dandosi agli affari a beneficio delle due famiglie. Assunte le nuove sembianze, Fang forza la propria moglie a fare l'amore con lui; la donna, credendo di essere stata violentata dal vicino, si deprime e finisce per annegarsi nel fiume. Zhang passa innumerevoli peripezie cercando di darsi al commercio delle sigarette e alla fine si convince che il suo posto è l'insegnamento. Tutt'altro che a proprio agio nella nuova identità, Fang tenta di tornare come era, poi disperato cerca di impiccarsi con la cinta dei pantaloni. Proprio in quel momento vede un passero ferito che avanza verso di lui; ne conta i passi e arriva sino a dodici: secondo un'antica leggenda vedere zampettare un passero è di buon augurio, il primo passo porta ricchezza, il secondo potere, il terzo fortuna con le donne e via di seguito fino al dodicesimo. Ma se lo si vede compiere il tredicesimo tutto il bene si capovolge trasformandosi in tragedia...

Gli insaziabili. Sedici racconti tra Italia e Cina
8vo, br, ed. pp.348. "Gli insaziabili" raccoglie i racconti di otto autori italiani e di otto autori cinesi intorno al doppio filo rosso rappresentato da eros e cibo: temi che riguardano in maniera viscerale e profonda due culture distanti geograficamente e storicamente, eppure piene di terreni fertili per un confronto, una conoscenza e un arricchimento reciproci ancora tutti da sondare e coltivare. Il libro, che esce in contemporanea in Italia e in Cina, è un gioco di specchi, di incastri, di visioni, di sguardi su due argomenti che sono agenti di scambio, strumenti di comunicazione e aggregazione, processi chimici regolati da rituali, modelli culturali, veicoli di senso, facilitatori interculturali - e vorrebbe avvicinare i lettori italiani alla Cina e i lettori cinesi all'Italia, smontando magari più di un preconcetto e contribuendo ad accorciare le distanze grazie a quell'avventura senza patria che è la lettura

Elman Benjamin A.
Civil Examinations and Meritocracy in Late Imperial China
8vo hardcover in dj. pp.410. During China's late imperial period (roughly 1400-1900 CE), men would gather by the millions every two or three years outside official examination compounds sprinkled across China. Only one percent of candidates would complete the academic regimen that would earn them a post in the administrative bureaucracy. Civil Examinations assesses the role of education, examination, and China's civil service in fostering the world's first professional class based on demonstrated knowledge and skill. While millions of men dreamed of the worldly advancement an imperial education promised, many more wondered what went on inside the prestigious walled-off examination compounds. As Benjamin A. Elman reveals, what occurred was the weaving of a complex social web. Civil examinations had been instituted in China as early as the seventh century CE, but in the Ming and Qing eras they were the nexus linking the intellectual, political, and economic life of imperial China. Local elites and members of the court sought to influence how the government regulated the classical curriculum and selected civil officials. As a guarantor of educational merit, civil examinations served to tie the dynasty to the privileged gentry and literati classes--both ideologically and institutionally. China did away with its classical examination system in 1905. But this carefully balanced and constantly contested piece of social engineering, worked out over the course of centuries, was an early harbinger of the meritocratic regime of college boards and other entrance exams that undergirds higher education in much of the world today.

Dîner de gala: L'étonnante aventure des Brigands Justiciers de l'Empire du Milieu
8vo, br. ed, pp. Ce livre raconte les aventures, dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, de la cohorte des Bandits Justiciers, autrement appelés Redresseurs de Torts ou Brigands Rouges : ainsi nomme-t-on l?Armée des communistes chinois qui triomphera en 1949, après de longs et coûteux combats. Leur chef est un fils de paysans du Hunan, destiné à régner sans partage sur le Parti puis sur la Chine. Quand le récit commence, le pays est déchiré par la guerre civile. Les puissances étrangères ? France, Angleterre?, mais surtout l?envahisseur japonais ? se disputent les dépouilles de l?Empire, tandis que le Kuomintang de Tchang Kaï-Chek tente de prendre le pouvoir, luttant à la fois contre les étrangers et contre ses rivaux communistes. Mao s?impose d?abord dans un petit fief reculé des montagnes. Il construit patiemment l?Armée Rouge avec quelques comparses et, tout en combattant les Japonais, parvient à repousser quatre campagnes successives de Tchang Kaï-Chek. La cinquième campagne sera terrible : le Kuomintang engage un million d?hommes, et l?Armée Rouge doit fuir, harcelée par les nationalistes et par les habitants des régions traversées, minée par des rivalités intérieures. La Longue Marche, d?octobre 1934 à octobre 1935, voit le corps d?armée dirigé par Mao perdre près de cent mille hommes sur cent trente, avant de trouver refuge dans une zone communiste stable. Ce désastre sera plus tard transformé par le Président-poète en triomphe légendaire. Mao, qui a appris des Soviétiques la pratique des purges, assoit son emprise sur le Parti. En 1949, il proclame l?avènement de la République populaire de Chine. Viendront ensuite les épisodes terribles des Cent Fleurs, du Grand Bond en avant et de la Révolution Culturelle... Cette épopée cruelle et picaresque nous est racontée sous la forme d?un récit d?aventures à la façon de Au bord de l?eau. Les personnages ont nom Tête-de-Fouine, Petit-Chien dit Rouge- Vertu, Liu-Gros-Nez, le Mandarin-Versatile, le Dragon- Borgne, l?Ours-Téméraire ou Deuxième-Couteau. Le ton, plein d?ironie narquoise, n?est pas celui du récit historique, bien que l?auteur s?appuie sur une documentation extraordinairement précise, jusque dans le moindre détail de la vie quotidienne de ces combattants légendaires : il n?y manque pas une sandale à semelle de paille ni une écuelle de porc au piment. Le récit est à la fois pétillant d?humour et nourri d?une quantité d?anecdotes souvent affreuses ("La Révolution n?est pas un dîner de gala", faisait observer le grand Timonier). Philippe Videlier confirme, avec ce livre, l?invention d?un genre : le conte historique, genre qu?il avait déjà expérimenté dans ses ouvrages précédents. Le résultat est saisissant d?intelligence, et l?humour grinçant qui baigne le texte replace l?atrocité des faits dans le grand manège de l?histoire des hommes, avec sa musique lancinante.

Confucius: A Throneless King
8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.234. Confucius is one of the most important figures in Chinese history,whose philosophies have shaped world culture. Often overlookedoutside his native country, Confucius himself was a fascinatingfigure. A contemporary of Buddha, Confucius was outspokenand uncompromising man who revolutionized Chinese societynearly 2,500 years ago, when the country was merely a looseweb of feudal provinces. No small feat for the illegitimate son ofa retired soldier and a teenage concubine, who once received aprophecy from the local fortune-teller that she would give birth toa ?throneless king.? Perhaps because of these humble beginnings, Confucius had apassionate belief in respect for others and this belief underpinnedhis life and teachings. He advised the emperors and kings of hisday, gaining their respect and undying enmity along the way. hewas equally proud of both achievements, saying that if the evilpeople of the world liked him, he was doing something wrong.Confucius established many ideas that are taken for granted today, from respecting one?s parents to the Golden Rule, to virtuebeing its own reward. his theories became the foundation of oneof the world?s first civil services and established social structuresthroughout Asia that still exist today.

Kinkley, Jeffrey C.
Chinese Justice, the Fiction: Law and Literature in Modern China
8vo, 497pp. During the first thirty years under communism, China completely banned crime fiction. After Mao, however, crime genres of all kinds?old and new, Chinese and Western?sprang up in profusion. Crime narrative again became one of the most prolific and best-loved forms of Chinese popular culture, and it often embodied the Chinese people?s most trenchant and open critiques of their newly restored socialist legal system. This is the first full-length study in any language of Chinese crime fiction in all eras: ancient, modern, and contemporary. It is also the first book to apply legal scholars? ?law and literature? inquiry to the rich field of Chinese legal and literary culture. Familiar Holmesian, quintessentially Chinese, and bizarre East-West hybrids of plots, crimes, detectives, judges, suspects, and ideas of law and corruption emerge from the pages of China?s new crime fiction, which is alternately embraced and condemned by the Chinese establishment as it lurches uncertainly toward post-communist society. Informed by contemporary comparative and theoretical perspectives on popular culture and the fiction of crime and detection, this book is based on extensive readings of Chinese crime fiction and interviews?in China and abroad?with the communist regime?s exiled and still-in-power security and judicial officers. It was in the Orwellian year of 1984 that the authorities set out to control China?s crime fiction and even to manufacture it themselves?only to find that fiction, like the social phenomena it depicts, seems destined to remain one step ahead of the law. Dalla quarta di copertina ?Kinkley illuminates Chinese conceptions of crime, law, and justice at both official and popular levels from pre-modern times through the 1990s, comparing traditions of Chinese detective fiction with those of American and European authors. . . . Students of Chinese history, literature, sociology, and law all will learn much from this unique book.??Perry Link, Princeton University ?Through his analysis of the works, authors, genres and plots of Chinese crime and court case fiction, Kinkley succeeds in illuminating China?s new legal culture from diverse angels. He has written an entertaining and intelligent book on the fiction and facts of the Chinese justice system.??The China Journal

Zhu Xiao-mei
Il pianoforte Segreto
8vo, br. ed. pp.288. Nel '68, gli studenti manifestavano sventolando il Libretto rosso del presidente Mao. Nel frattempo, in Cina, la Rivoluzione culturale mieteva vittime proprio tra i giovani. Una di questi, al tempo studentessa di musica, decide pochi anni fa di ignorare l'insegnamento del padre, di «andarsene in silenzio, senza lasciare traccia», e raccontare invece la sua storia, e quella di un'intera generazione di giovani sottoposta a un diffuso lavaggio del cervello e convinta della giustezza di un'ideologia che li costringeva alla delazione e alla denuncia, oltre a togliere loro ogni libertà. Uccidendoli anche nell'anima: commoventi il rimorso, il dolore e il pentimento di Zhu Xiao-Mei per aver creduto alle menzogne del maoismo e avere agito di conseguenza. È anche per «chiedere scusa», che l'autrice scrive, ed è proprio il pentimento, tra i tanti sentimenti contrastanti, ad animare la sua scrittura. Nata in una di quelle famiglie che al tempo vennero disgregate ed etichettate con il bollo infamante «di cattive origini», cioè di musicisti e intellettuali, Zhu Xiao-Mei viene internata per cinque anni in un campo di rieducazione ai confini con la Mongolia. La storia di come le note di una fisarmonica risveglino in lei l'amore per la musica e la spingano a procurarsi avventurosamente un pianoforte è raccontata con semplicità, la stessa che aggiunge pathos involontario al resoconto dei mille soprusi perpetrati dai sorveglianti sugli internati. Il potere salvifico della musica anche in circostanze orribili è un tema trattato diffusamente in letteratura a proposito della Shoah, ma Zhu Xiao-Mei aggiunge una quantità di riflessioni inedite, e racconta il percorso a dir poco accidentato che la porta negli Stati Uniti, le difficoltà che affronta per continuare a studiare pianoforte, per poi approdare a Parigi dove dà il primo concerto, dedicato a Bach. Il compositore che per lei indica una «via» molto simile a quella del Tao. Suonerà le Variazioni Goldberg ovunque, e la sua esecuzione è diventata un culto.

Kaplan Robert D.
The Return of Marco Polo's World: War, Strategy, and American Interests in the Twenty-first Century
8vo, hrdcover in dj, 280pp. A bracing assessment of U.S. foreign policy and world disorder over the past two decades from the bestselling author of The Revenge of Geography and The Coming Anarchy “[Kaplan] has emerged not only as an eloquent defender of foreign-policy realism but as a grand strategist to whom the Pentagon turns for a tour d’horizon.”—The Wall Street Journal In the late thirteenth century, Marco Polo began a decades-long trek from Venice to China along the trade route between Europe and Asia known as the Silk Road—a foundation of Kublai Khan’s sprawling empire. Now, in the early twenty-first century, the Chinese regime has proposed a land-and-maritime Silk Road that duplicates exactly the route Marco Polo traveled. Drawing on decades of firsthand experience as a foreign correspondent and military embed for The Atlantic, Robert D. Kaplan outlines the timeless principles that should shape America’s role in a turbulent world that encompasses the Chinese challenge. From Kaplan’s immediate thoughts on President Trump to a frank examination of what will happen in the event of war with North Korea, these essays are a vigorous reckoning with the difficult choices the United States will face in the years ahead. Praise for The Return of Marco Polo’s World “Elegant and humane . . . [a] prophecy from an observer with a depressingly accurate record of predictions.”—Bret Stephens, The New York Times Book Review “These essays constitute a truly pathbreaking, brilliant synthesis and analysis of geographic, political, technological, and economic trends with far-reaching consequences. The Return of Marco Polo’s World is another work by Robert D. Kaplan that will be regarded as a classic.”—General David Petraeus (U.S. Army, Ret.) “Thoughtful, unsettling, but not apocalyptic analyses of world affairs flow steadily off the presses, and this is a superior example. . . . Presented with enough verve and insight to tempt readers to set it aside to reread in a few years.”—Kirkus Review (starred review) “An astute, powerfully stated, and bracing presentation.”—Booklist “This volume compiles sixteen major essays on America’s foreign policy from national security commentator Kaplan. . . . An overview of thoughtful, multilayered positions and perspectives evolving through changing circumstances.”—Publishers Weekly

Doniselli Eramo, Isabella
Il drago in Cina. Storia straordinaria di Un'icona
8vo, br. ed. Il drago è forse il più appariscente esempio di "ibrido" mitologico ed è presente nella mitologia e nelle tradizioni popolari di molte culture fiorite nei diversi continenti, si lega ai miti cosmogonici della nascita del mondo e ovunque porta con sé una forte valenza simbolica di potenza e di forza. In Cina, il drago è creatura benevola, simbolo yang della forza e della fertilità maschile, principio attivo dell'energia, della luce, della forza. Trascorre l'inverno sottoterra e al risveglio, nell'equinozio di primavera, provoca il primo tuono e dà inizio alle piogge primaverili, benefiche per l'agricoltura. Dunque un'importanza vitale in un paese da sempre prevalentemente agricolo. Il motivo del drago attraversa l'intera storia dell'arte cinese, assumendo innumerevoli fogge a seconda delle credenze dell'epoca, a seconda degli stili e delle possibilità offerte dai materiali e dalle tecniche impiegati. Questo studio ripercorre la straordinaria evoluzione nel tempo dell'icona del drago cinese, dalle essenziali raffigurazioni di epoca neolitica, fino alla fantasmagorica immagine codificata nel momento di massimo splendore della Cina imperiale. Un'icona che diventa spunto di confronto e di dialogo tra Oriente e Occidente.

Leffman David
The Mercenary Mandarin: How A British Adventurer Became A General In Qing-Dynasty China
8vo, br. ed. 372pp. William Mesny ran off to sea as a boy and jumped ship at Shanghai in 1860 when he was just 18. Amid the chaos of foreign intrigue and civil war in 19th-century China, he became a smuggler, a prisoner of the Taiping rebels, a gun-runner and finally enlisted in the Chinese military. After five years of fierce campaigning against the Miao in remote Guizhou province, Mesny rose to the rank of general and used this privileged position to travel around China - to the borders with Burma, Tibet and Vietnam - writing opinionated newspaper articles, collecting plants and advising government officials on the development of railways, telegraphs and other modern reforms. Mesny eventually settled in Shanghai with a 16-year-old concubine and published Mesny's Chinese Miscellany, a weekly magazine about his experiences. But his story was not to end well. After his implication in an illicit arms deal, his fortunes never recovered, and when he died in 1919 he was working as a desk clerk. David Leffman has spent over 15 years footstepping Mesny's travels across China, interviewing locals and piecing together his life story from contemporary journals, private letters and newspaper articles

Zia Helen
Last Boat Out of Shanghai: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Fled Mao's Revolution
8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.446. Shanghai has historically been China’s jewel, its richest, most modern and westernized city. The bustling metropolis was home to sophisticated intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and a thriving middle class when Mao’s proletarian revolution emerged victorious from the long civil war. Terrified of the horrors the Communists would wreak upon their lives, citizens of Shanghai who could afford to fled in every direction. Seventy years later, members of the last generation to fully recall this massive exodus have revealed their stories to Chinese American journalist Helen Zia, who interviewed hundreds of exiles about their journey through one of the most tumultuous events of the twentieth century. From these moving accounts, Zia weaves together the stories of four young Shanghai residents who wrestled with the decision to abandon everything for an uncertain life as refugees in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States. Benny, who as a teenager became the unwilling heir to his father’s dark wartime legacy, must decide either to escape to Hong Kong or navigate the intricacies of a newly Communist China. The resolute Annuo, forced to flee her home with her father, a defeated Nationalist official, becomes an unwelcome exile in Taiwan. The financially strapped Ho fights deportation from the U.S. in order to continue his studies while his family struggles at home. And Bing, given away by her poor parents, faces the prospect of a new life among strangers in America. The lives of these men and women are marvelously portrayed, revealing the dignity and triumph of personal survival. Herself the daughter of immigrants from China, Zia is uniquely equipped to explain how crises like the Shanghai transition affect children and their families, students and their futures, and, ultimately, the way we see ourselves and those around us. Last Boat Out of Shanghai brings a poignant personal angle to the experiences of refugees then and, by extension, today. “Zia’s portraits are compassionate and heartbreaking, and they are, ultimately, the universal story of many families who leave their homeland as refugees and find less-than-welcoming circumstances on the other side.”—Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club

Le vie della seta. Popoli, culture, Paesaggi
4to, ril. ed. in sovracoperta. pp.480. Dalle pietre preziose alle spezie, dalle fedi religiose alle innovazioni tecnologiche, lo scambio di merci e idee lungo le antiche rotte commerciali delle Vie della Seta svolse un ruolo cruciale nello sviluppo delle civiltà asiatiche, africane ed europee. Questo libro offre la prima visione complessiva di 1500 anni di storia, ponendo al centro del discorso le tipologie dei territori. Con contributi di oltre settanta specialisti di tutto il mondo, ogni capitolo esplora la storia del commercio e delle culture lungo le Vie della Seta nel contesto dei diversi luoghi - steppe, montagne, deserti, fiumi e mari - per rivelare l'estrema importanza che i paesaggi hanno avuto nel determinare i viaggi, le economie e le comunità di coloro che vissero e commerciarono lungo tali rotte. Splendidamente illustrato con le mappe dettagliate degli itinerari, le fotografie degli spettacolari paesaggi dell'Asia centrale e cento tesori iconici, tra oggetti e strutture architettoniche, questo innovativo libro celebra la storia e l'eredità di culture diversissime che si sono sviluppate e hanno prosperato non a dispetto delle loro differenze, ma in virtù di esse.
