{"product_id":"taken-to-heart-yanwen-xu-9781945680588","title":"Taken to Heart: 70 Poems from the Chinese","description":"These seventy poems are masterpieces from over a thousand years of classical Chinese poetry. Beauty and simplicity meld to convey an astounding landscape with both enchanting details and breath-taking vastness. The poems constitute an anthology, given to Chinese school children as a text to aid their instruction in Mandarin, and to introduce them to China's rich literary history. The poems are considered representative of China's highest poetic achievements from the Han Dynasty to the Qing. We have striven to mirror the emotional state and the musical values of the originals. We chose to translate line by line, and have eschewed jumbling lines within individual poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yanwen Xu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194568058X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945680588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Pine Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 4.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Yanwen Xu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076828786943,"sku":"9781945680588","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_049d1481-aed4-4fa2-861f-6393a8548f1e.jpg?v=1685467019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taken-to-heart-yanwen-xu-9781945680588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
