Such a perspective is mainly ecological and allows human subjects to take a benign and nonutilitarian attitude toward nature. The contributors to this book demonstrate how Chinese literary ecology tends toward an ecological-systemic holism from which all human behaviors should be closely examined. They do so by examining a range of writers and genres, including Liu Cixin's science fiction, Wu Ming-yi's environmental fiction, and Zhang Chengzhi's historical narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides valuable insights for scholars and students looking to understand how Chinese literature conceptualizes the relationship between humanity and nature, as well as our role and position within the natural realm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Riccardo Moratto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032079681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032079684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Riccardo Moratto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072647557375,"sku":"9781032079684","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cea73f72-b6e1-483c-b01a-8a1d834836ad.jpg?v=1685443199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ecocriticism-and-chinese-literature-riccardo-moratto-9781032079684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
