Description

In A New Account of World Tales (also known as A New Account of the Tales of the World) the staccato dramas of the Wei-Jin Era (AD 220-420) are being replayed - dubbed in modern language of popular Taiwanese cartoonist Tsai Chih Chung. The 120 selected anecdotes in this book tell the stories of emperors, princes, high officials, generals, courtiers, urbane monks, and the lettered gentry of a turbulent time. They afford a stark and amoral insight into human behaviour in its full spectrum of virtues and frailties. Glimpses of brilliant Chinese witticisms are featured too.
