A propos de cet article

[POETRY]. Han-shan (fl.627-649). Translated by Burton Watson. "Cold Mountain: 100 Poems by the T'ang Poet Han-shan." New York: Grove Press, Inc. Printed in the USA, 1962. First edition thus, first printing. English language. Hardcover with green cloth boards lettered silver on spine in laminated printed paper jacket. Collection of one hundred translated poems with introduction, translator's note, finding list, and black-and-white frontispiece. 8vo. 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. 7 oz. 122 pp. Shelf-wear. Short tear to jacket at top left-hand corner. Off-setting to endpapers. Small Japanese tissue repair to verso of jacket. Strange printing quality to some leaves. Tear at bottom right-hand corner of a few leaves with no textual loss. Text clean. Very Good Minus in Very Good Minus jacket. No ISBN. ASIN: B000K6O8AW. OCLC: 1070703.

When Han-shan speaks of 'Cold Mountain,' he means himself, his home, and his state of mind; it is the conception of the 'hidden treasure' of the Buddha who is to be sought within one's self, not somewhere outside. The poems are as much an allegory of spiritual quest and attainment as a record of the life of a ragged hermit who became one of the immortals.".…

Description de la boutique

I sell uncommon art catalogs, academic monographs, and prints, as well as rare ephemera such as posters and zines. I ship from Brooklyn, New York. I am an alum of the Rare Book School and the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, as well as Indiana University and the Ohio State University. I started in the trade at the Wexner Center for the Arts bookstore, and I have previously worked for the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Prints and Drawings, and the Indiana University Art Museum's center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. More recently, I was the rare book cataloger at Donald Heald Rare Books, for whom I worked the ABAA's New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.…
