Yu Qiuyu is one of China's greatest modern essayists. Sometimes a prickly commentator, he is above all a storyteller. In this volume he takes his inspiration from China's geography, both human and physical, and brings the culture of his country to life with human characters and historical narrative. The forests of Hainan, the Three Gorges, classical pagodas, ancient remains under modern Shanghai, even the open skies... all have their stories and cultural connections, traced with erudition and wit by an inquisitive mind. "I sought a path across mountains and rivers, plastering my brief life across a rugged corner of this planet," explains Yu Qiuyu. The Book of Rivers and Mountains is another in a series of meditative essays about Chinese culture and history. In this book he returns to the Chinese mainland in contemplation of its people and the natural landscape that has shaped their way of life. He refers to mountains and rivers as the "facial expressions of the land" and the only true way of understanding the history of the country and its people.

"In the Faraway Mountains and Rivers continues the self-narrative of Japanese student-soldiers, which Midori Yamanouchi and Joseph Quinn introduced to the English speaking world in their previously published Listen to the Voices from the Sea." "The letters and journal excerpts in this volume present the poignant reflections of University of Tokyo students drafted to fight in World War II, some of them as kamikaze pilots. The brightest young men in Japanese society turned to poetry, philosophy, literature, and religion to cope with their situation. They express their love of family and friends, as well as their anguish, confusion, and sadness. The words of these students are pervaded by a sense of helplessness and fate rather than any animosity toward the United States." "Reading In the Faraway Mountains and Rivers you will hear echoes of the common experience of soldiers in all wars. You will be reminded of the courageous spirit and sense of duty that they share, but you will also be left with the indelible impression of the terrible toll that war takes on the human spirit, on every side of every conflict." "Full of sorrow and beauty, replete with the reflections of young men as they struggle with their preparation for the brutalities of war and ultimately death, In the Faraway Mountains and Rivers offers the thoughtful reader a contemplative and transforming experience."--BOOK JACKET.

In 1950 the independent nation of Tibet was invaded and occupied by the People's Republic of China. Its people were decimated, their resources exploited, their culture destroyed, and their religion forbidden. In 1959 Tibetans rose up in a rebellion, put down harshly by the People's Liberation Army. Hundreds of thousands were either massacred or imprisoned and enslaved. A great exodus of Tibetans fled into exile, including their own highest leader, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Today, the cultural genocide in Tibet is ongoing, the population transfer to Tibet of millions of Chinese colonists is funded and encouraged by the Chinese government, and the flow of Tibetans into exile continues.What must it be like to be a Tibetan living in occupied Tibet? How does the escape from tyranny, leaving friends and family members behind, inform the life and thought of those Tibetan exiles who have found freedom--either just across the Himalayan range dividing Tibet from India, or in the wider world?This book of poetry by Meenakshi Negi speaks prophetically to the Chinese occupiers, warning them of the grave consequences of their oppression and predicting its ultimate failure. It also encourages the long-suffering people of Tibet, honoring their bravery and persistence, congratulating them for their extraordinary spiritual resilience, and celebrating the glory of Tibet's great mountain of devotion to life, and its great gifts of inner sciences and arts that further human spiritual evolution.

This eclectic Classic also contains crucial information on early medicine (with cures for impotence and infertility), omens to avert catastrophe, and rites of sacrifice, and familiar and unidentified plants and animals.
