Mycket gott skick. Blyertsanteckning på sista sidan. Språk: Engelska. "Arthur Waley is regarded by many as the most gifted translator of modern times. Through his brilliant work and the inspiration he has given to new generations of scholars, he has opened the great treasure house of oriental literature and made it an important part of our Western heritage. Originating in the fourteenth century, the Nō drama is one of the world's oldest and most colourful theatrical forms. As vigorous today as ever in its native Japan, it has also had a profound influence on the work of many Western dramatists, including Yeats and Brecht. Though a composite art, with elements of music, dance, poetry and mime, its overall effect is one of sublime harmony. This volume contains Arthur Waley's exquisite and definitive translations of some twenty plays and summaries of as many more".
