The Collected Works of Li Bai, Volume 1
The Collected Works of Li Bai (李太白集)
Li Bai, the 'banished immortal', is China's poet of wine, moonlight, mountains and friendship. This collection gives his poems and prose. Here are the drinking songs, the poems to the moon, the journeys through the gorges of Shu, the farewells to friends and the long ballads that made him a legend. This first volume contains the first half of the collection. This complete new English translation is published in two volumes; this is Volume 1 of 2, and the whole set is also available as a bundle. Each poem is given in clear English that keeps its images and its order of lines, so readers can follow the poet's thought without notes. Poetry was the highest art of traditional China, written by emperors, officials, monks, courtesans and soldiers, and these poems are among the finest ever written in any language.
