Sobre este artículo
Princeton University Press, 1990. Clean and tight with crisp text. No name, bookplate or other markings. Challenging the belief that autobiography is a unique product of the West, Pei-yi Wu demonstrates that writing about the self did thrive in one non-Western civilization. He illustrates the numerous individuals of Chinese literature, each of whom has a story to tell - champions of lost causes explaining their impending martyrdom to posterity, earnest Buddhists and Confucians reporting on their spiritual quests, irrepressible and inventive egotists indulging in self-celebration, and distressed moralists confessing their sins. Affording the reader insight into aspects of the Chinese psyche, "The Confucian's Progress" is also an accessible introduction to Chinese history and literature.. Trade Paperback. Fine.
