A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind
A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind rated it
5.0 Fortress Besieged
text Fortress Besieged
a fantastic literary gem depicting a turbulent time of Chinese history. The original is much better than the translation but I guess this is unavoidable. There is much essence lost in the attempt to fit intricate Asian subtleties into western concepts.
