| Description | Básně od Zvonové hory is a selection of classical Chinese poetry that presents Wang Anshi (1021–1086) — a poet, reformer, and leading statesman of the Song dynasty. His poems are thematically varied and formally polished, yet written in simple, natural language. After retiring from politics, he lived in seclusion on Bell Mountain, where he wrote verses inspired by nature. This volume offers a unique insight into the mind of a man who sought both a just society and a peaceful life in harmony with nature and poetry. The book includes a study on Song poetry and detailed commentaries on each poem. |
