It consists of two interwoven texts - the Spring and Autumn Annals (Chunqiu, a terse annalistic record) and a vast web of narratives and speeches that add context and interpretation to the Annals. Completed by about 300 BCE, it is the longest and one of the most difficult texts surviving from pre-imperial times. It has been as important to the foundation and preservation of Chinese culture as the historical books of the Hebrew Bible have been to the Jewish and Christian traditions. It has shaped notions of history, justice, and the significance of human action in the Chinese tradition perhaps more so than any comparable work of Latin or Greek historiography has done to Western civilization. This translation of Volume One, accompanied by the original text, an introduction, and annotations, will finally make Zuozhuan accessible to all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Durrant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295999179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295999173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.98w x 1.34d","brand":"Stephen Durrant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44717136511231,"sku":"9780295999173","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0950122c-ed49-4b70-b456-bc86fcbee803.jpg?v=1705687105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zuo-tradition-zuozhuan-stephen-durrant-9780295999173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
