Road to Heaven : Encounters With Chinese Hermits
|
| Drawing on knowledge based on 20 years as a resident of China, Porter examines the ancient Chinese hermit tradition. Part travelogue, part history, part sociology, and part religious study, this record of extraordinary journeys to an unknown China sheds light on a phenomemon unparalleled in the West, and the philosophies that underlie it.
Woody says: Fascinating story of the author's trips through central China, and the Taoist/Buddhist/Confucian hermits he found there. |
