About this product

Product Information

The short works collected in "Four Huts" give voice to one of the most treasured aesthetic and spiritual ideals of Asia-- that of a simple life lived in a simple dwelling. The texts were written between the ninth and the seventeenth centuries and convey each author's underlying sense of the world and what is to be valued in it. "Four Huts" presents original translations by Burton Watson-- one of the most respected translators of Chinese and Japanese literature. The qualities that emerge from these writings are an awareness of impermanence, love of nature, fondness for poetry and music, and an appreciation of the quiet life. "Four Huts" features eleven brush paintings by artist Stephen Addiss.

Fast shipping. Item did arrive with a little damage on the spine (I included pictures). However, it was in a very thick cardboard mailer. I'm assuming that it was damaged during shipping. Not upset about it, especially considering that it cost at least half of what others are selling it for. I wasn't looking at this as a collectors item anyway. Just wanted it for myself. Would purchase from them again.

A great paperback copy of a book I needed for my classics collection! There is a minor bend in the back of the book, but it was most likely the shipping process and I don't tend to mind minor bends that don't effect reading. The cover will also look different than the picture the seller posted, but is still a very nice copy. This book came to me very fast (within 2 days), so I am very satisfied with the time it took to receive my order.
