'Packed with erudition and perception...it is also honest, sensitive, entirely without ego...ultimately, a meditation on the human condition.'

Colin Thubron, Sunday Telegraph`Wild Swans meets The Alchemist.' Conde Nast Traveller

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Good (ex-library). First Edition. Trade Paperback. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Collins, UK, 2003. First Edition. *** CONDITION: This book is in good (ex-library) condition. More specifically: . Pages are reasonably tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Xuanzang should be known as one of the world's great heroes. His travels are legendary. He brought true Buddhism to China. His own book provides a unique record of the history and culture of his time. Yet he is unknown to most of us and even to most Chinese. Sun Shuyun, herself brought up in China, was determined to follow in his footsteps, discover more about Xuanzang and restore his fame. So she retraced his journey from China to India and back. In the 8th century, crossing 110 kingdoms, he took 18 years. He opened up the east and west of Asia to each other - and to us. A man of great faith and determination, Xuanzang won the hearts of kings and robbers with his teaching, his charm and his indomitable will. Against all odds he persuaded the Confucian emperors to allow Buddhism to flourish in China. At the heart of this book lies Sun Shuyun's own personal journey towards understanding the Buddhist faith of her grandmother, recognizing also the passionate idealism of the communist beliefs of her own family and discovering her own beliefs *** Quantity Available: 1.
