Description:
Honolulu.: University of Hawai'i.. 2005.. Black and white photographic illustrations, x + 301pp, index, bibliography, notes, appendix, glossary. Very good condition. "Both Western and Chinese intellectuals have long derided filial piety tales as an absurd and grotesque variety of children's literature. Selfless offspring offers a fresh perspective on the genre, revealing the rich historical worth of these stories by examining them in their original context: the tumultuous and politically fragmented early medieval era (AD 100-600)." - Publisher's description. .
