from Foreign Languages Press
Price: $44.95
Customer Review:
I don't want to leave a long comment because the truth is the book is a great classic. My only problem with it has been constant grammar errors. Once Lord Guan Yu is referred to as Lory Guan Yu, and just things like that. In fact, on the back of the book their is an error in the first line, so I... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The Complete Kama Sutra : The First Unabridged Modern Translation of the Classic Indian Text
from Park Street Press
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
I don't doubt that many people buy this work because of the Kama Sutra's racy reputation. Despite the fact that Danielou is not shy about translating issues of same-sex intercourse, seduction of other men's wives, and such, the overall work here is of immense historical value.
First Dalielou... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Gitanjali: A Collection of Indian Poems by the Nobel Laureate
from Scribner
Price: $9.36
Customer Review:
The two low star reviews of this book appear to be referring to different versions than the one for sale on this page. The poems are numbered and it seems unlikely that there are copyright issues as the book has been available for some time.
Is there a way for Amazon to remove or monitor the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. | ![]() | Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings (Translations from the Asian Classics)
from Columbia Univ Pr
Customer Review:
This book contains the "inner chapters," not the entire Chuang Tzu, but generally considered the essential and least corrupt chapters. It's one of my favorite books, and after reading Watson's translation I'm unable to read anyone else's - it's wonderful (and there are quite a few weak versions, and... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Chatham House Publishers
Customer Review:
I got this book as a textbook for a class that I subsequently dropped, but I decided that as long as I had it, I might as well read it. I'm glad I did! This book is a wonderful overview of the greatest Chinese philosophers. Each section begins with a few pages recounting what is known about each... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Rashomon and 17 Other Stories (Penguin, 2006)
I'll admit I picked this up less because it was Akutagawa than the bit that said "illustrated by Yoshihiro Tatsumi", who's been one of the best in the business for over thirty years. When I actually got it, I found out Tatsumi... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. | ![]() | The Rumi Collection: An Anthology of Translations of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi
from Threshold Books
Customer Review:
In the West we hear little of the beauty and wisdom of Islamic tradition. Jalalud-din Rumi, the founder of the Mevleviyya Sufi Order, has at least become known to us by name, even if we see only distorted snippets of his poetry.
If you've heard the name or you've seen quotations you like and... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
